Explanation:

To solve this, we first understand the meaning of "unabated", which means continuing without reduction in intensity or strength.

• Synonyms: Words with similar meanings. "steady" (constant, not changing), "unwavering" (firm, not wavering) match as they imply continuity/consistency.
• Antonyms: Words with opposite meanings. "diminishing" (decreasing), "weakening" (losing strength), "spent" (exhausted, used up), "tireless" – wait, no, "tireless" is about not tiring, but "unabated" is about intensity. Wait, correction: "diminishing" (decreasing), "weakening" (becoming weaker), "spent" (used up, no longer strong), and "tireless" is not an antonym. Wait, original words: steady, diminishing, unwavering, weakening, spent, tireless. Wait, "unabated" = not abated (not reduced). So synonyms: steady (constant), unwavering (not wavering, consistent). Antonyms: diminishing (reducing), weakening (losing strength), spent (exhausted, so strength reduced), and tireless – no, tireless is about energy, but "unabated" is about intensity. Wait, maybe "tireless" is not, but the given words: let's recheck. The words to sort: steady, diminishing, unwavering, weakening, spent, tireless.

So Synonyms for unabated (continuing strongly, not reduced): steady (constant), unwavering (firm, not changing).
Antonyms (reduced, weakened): diminishing (decreasing), weakening (losing strength), spent (used up, so no longer strong), tireless – no, tireless is "not tired", which is different. Wait, maybe a typo, but based on options:
Synonyms: steady, unwavering.
Antonyms: diminishing, weakening, spent, tireless? Wait, no, tireless means full of energy, not abated. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's define "unabated": continuing at the same level, without reduction. So synonyms: steady (constant), unwavering (not wavering, consistent). Antonyms: diminishing (decreasing), weakening (becoming weaker), spent (exhausted, so intensity reduced), and tireless – no, tireless is about not tiring, but "unabated" is about intensity. Wait, maybe "tireless" is not, but the problem gives those words. So proceed:

Answer:

Synonyms (words with same meaning as unabated):

• steady
• unwavering

Antonyms (words with opposite meaning as unabated):
