Which word is synonymous with "anterior"?

Back
Rear
Front
Side

The correct answer is: Front

The term "anterior" refers to a position that is situated towards the front of the body or an object. In anatomical terminology, it is used to describe structures that are located in the forward part in relation to other structures. Therefore, the synonym for "anterior" is "front," as both terms indicate a similar position in relation to the reference point of the body. In contrast, the other terms provided do not convey the same meaning. "Back" and "rear" suggest a position towards the back or posterior side, while "side" refers to a lateral position. Thus, none of these choices aligns with the definition of "anterior," making "front" the appropriate synonym.
