Example Question #111 : Synonyms: Nouns
A synonym of “woe” is __________.
age
jubilation
persistence
despondency
contract
despondency
“Woe” is a noun that means “great sorrow or distress,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “great sorrow.” That means that “jubilation” cannot be the correct answer, because “jubilation” means “a feeling of great happiness,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “woe.” “Despondency,” however, is a noun that means “a loss of hope or courage,” and because “despondency” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “woe,” “despondency” is the correct answer.
