Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sparrow and robin are examples of specific types of birds, so they fall under the category of hyponyms, which are more specific terms that belong to a general category (in this case, "bird"). Hypernyms would be more general terms that encompass a category (e.g. "animal"), synonyms would be words that have the same or similar meanings (e.g. "bird" and "avian"), and coordinates would be words that are on the same level of specificity (e.g. "sparrow" and "robin").
