Explanation:

First Question:

To find a synonym for a word, a thesaurus is specifically designed to provide synonyms (and antonyms) of words. A dictionary primarily gives definitions, an encyclopedia provides general knowledge on topics, and a glossary gives definitions of terms specific to a subject. So the correct source is a thesaurus.

A dictionary is a source that contains the meanings, spellings, pronunciations, and other information for most words in a language. An encyclopedia focuses on topics/concepts, a glossary on subject - specific terms, and a thesaurus on synonyms.

Answer:

D. thesaurus
