Strange. this option is available on my version of LibreOffice (7.0.3.1
Debian) downloaded from the pre-release list. I also have installed
7.1.0.0 Alpha+ daily build (11-11-2020). It also has this option
(Control+F7) available.
But I also noticed something. When I first opened a new
presentation, Control+F7 was greyed out. Only when I Entered text in a
box onto the first slide and then clicked on it, did this option become
available. One of the words I entered was jumped. I was shown 20
synonyms of this word. Could this be your problem? Are you using a
distribution other than Debian?

Hello Dan
I have both UK and US English languages installed.
My Thes Thesaurus is selected in Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing
Aids.
The option Tools>Thesaurus is greyed out in Impress and I have just found out
that Thesaurus is available in Writer.
I can only assume that the LO programmers assumed that Impress does not need a
thesaurus. To me, that is an oversight and a thesaurus should be available.

modules. At the bottom of this list should be MyThes Thesaurus. It should be checked if
you want to use LibreOffice's thesaurus for your language.
A language pack contains spell checking, hyphenation, thesaurus, and one
more thing I have just forgotten. After installation of LO 7.0.1.x these can be
found at libreoffice4/share/extensions/(your language)/. In my case it is
dict-en. This particular folder contains the files for several English
languages, i.e., both UK and US.

Can anyone tell me if there is a thesaurus for LibreOffice in USA and/or UK
English languages?
There is a function for a thesaurus in the Tools menu and there is a keyboard
shortcut for a thesaurus.
If these functions are available then the thesaurus should be available.
