Correct answers:
- to be more precise in your writing
- to vary the language and word choice
A thesaurus helps you find alternative words to make your meaning clearer or to avoid repeating the same word. It doesn't reliably explain distinctions in meaning (that's what a dictionary does), nor is its purpose just to add more words for the sake of length.
