Answer 2

scare and frighten are both adjectives. They mean the same thing like being afraid.

For example:

• I'm scared that I might fail the exam.
• I was frightened when the cat jump towards me.

big and large are also adjectives that mean the same. Big or large are used when something is more than the average. It is the opposite of small.

For example:

• The basketball is bigger than the golf ball.
• The shirt is large enough to become a quilt.
