i think D but is that all the question says?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Hi there @soccerMU! ^-^ To start you off with this question, first define the two words precept and command. If they have similar meanings, they're synonyms and if they have opposite meanings they are antonyms. I'll give you an example: cold:hot :: They are both opposites. So, let's say we have an answer choice of summer: winter, we'd pick that choice because they are opposites to. Basically, you have to find out which answer choice is the closest to the one above. Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (soccermu):

so what is the answer

OpenStudy (soccermu):

hello

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Well, lets find out together. :) Precept: a commandment or direction given as a rule of action or conduct. Command: to direct with specific authority or prerogative; order: Are they similar or different.

OpenStudy (soccermu):

similar

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Great! Now we have to look up the other words to see which ones are similiar to the one above. :)
