Question

miner minor

the meanings of these words are

similar
contradictory
neither similar nor contradictory

Explanation:

Define the words

"MINER" refers to a person who works in a mine extracting coal, ore, or other minerals. "MINOR" refers to someone under the legal age of full responsibility, or something of lesser importance, size, or seriousness.

Analyze the semantic relationship

The two words sound identical (homophones) but have completely different origins, spellings, and definitions. They are not synonyms ("similar"), nor are they antonyms ("contradictory"). Therefore, their meanings are neither similar nor contradictory.

Answer:

  • similar
  • contradictory
  • neither similar nor contradictory (Correct answer)
