Opposite Continuum Answer Key

This advanced vocabulary exercise asks students to arrange sets of words in **gradual order from one extreme to its opposite**, creating smooth semantic progressions such as *tiny → small → large → gigantic*. The activity teaches that meaning exists along a continuum, not in simple binaries. By sequencing intensity and tone, students deepen their understanding of **degrees of opposition*and subtle shifts in connotation. The task integrates logic, inference, and vocabulary awareness, fostering both linguistic precision and critical categorization skills. Learners visually and cognitively map how words relate by strength and polarity.
