GETTING TO KNOW THE TOEFL
Many entries do not specify
the difference between adjective and adverb, since the same forms can often appear both as
adjectives or adverbs. The abbreviation mod. is used to mark such a word. Let's examine an entry
for the word maximum.
maximum, mod. -Syn. supreme, highest, greatest; see best 1. maximum, n.-Syn. supremacy, height,
pinnacle, preeminence, culmination, matchlessness, preponderance, apex, peak, greatest number,
highest degree, summit, nonpareil; see also climax: Ant. minimum*, foot, bottom.
There are two entries for this word. The abbreviation mod. in the first entry indicates that the word
could be used as a modifier of other words. Following this, syn. indicates that synonyms for the
word follow. At the end of the listing appears the suggestion see best 1. This suggestion refers us to
the first entry for the word best if we wish to see more words with meanings related to maximum.
