Try something like this:


if( synonymInfo.Found )
{
    Array pa = (Array)(object)synonymInfo.PartOfSpeechList;

    for( int i = 1; i <= synonymInfo.MeaningCount; ++i )
    {
        if( (WdPartOfSpeech)pa.GetValue( i ) == WdPartOfSpeech.wdVerb )
        {
            Array sa = (Array)(object)synonymInfo.SynonymList[i];

            foreach( string s in sa )
            {
                LBSelectedVerbs.Items.Add( s );
            }
        }
    }
}

It is also possible to find the distinct words.
