Explanation:
A word can have several antonyms. Anonyms for "good" include bad, corrupt, evil, evilness, malevolent, sour, and wicked.
The first thing to make is that "good," like many other words, may be a noun or an adjective, therefore its antonyms are also a combination of nouns and adjectives. The second key to remember is that antonyms don't have to be precise opposites.
Antonyms are classified into two types: graded antonyms and complementing antonyms.
Graded antonyms do not have to be weighted opposites. They allow for varying degrees of polarity. For example, consider the following antonyms for "good":
unsatisfactory, inadequate, dreadful
Here are several synonyms for "thin" in order of difficulty:
overweight, chubby, plump, fat, stout, burly, brawny, well-built, averagely built
