Example Question #3 : Synonyms: Adjectives Describing Time, Age, Movement, And Location
A synonym of “eternal” is __________.
sparse
material
perpetual

ephemeral
perpetual
“Eternal” is an adjective that means “lasting forever; without end or beginning,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “lasting forever.” That means that “ephemeral” cannot be the correct answer, because “ephemeral” means “lasting for a very short time,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “eternal.” “Perpetual,” however, is an adjective that means “never ending or changing,” and because “perpetual” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “eternal,” “perpetual” is the correct answer.
