I don't think so. 'Closest to '. And for best results, 'word' should be singular.

I'm grateful, MM!

Is it OK now? In fact, I want this question very nicely worded.

Circle the word in the brackets closest to meaning with the given words.

MM, does the repetition of "words" bother your native ears?

Is it OK now?-- No, 'word' should be singular. That makes it clear that each question has one word and one synonym.
