Explanation:

The thesaurus is defined as containing a list of synonyms and antonyms, which directly addresses the need to find a synonym of a word. A glossary provides context-specific definitions in textbooks, and a dictionary offers multiple definitions and parts of speech, but neither focuses on synonyms like a thesaurus does.
