【正确答案】正确答案：Hyponymy is one kind of sense relation. It is a matter of class membership.(2 points)The upper term in this sense relation is called superordinate, and the lower terms are hyponyms.(2 points)A superordinate is a general term that includes different words representing narrower categories. A superordinate usually has several hyponyms.(2 points)In the case mentioned above, a redundancy in writing is caused by the inappropriate use of superordinate and hyponyms. For example, trees, bushes and flowers are all plants, and based on different colors flowers can be divided into red flowers, yellow flowers, white flowers, pink flowers, or they can be classified into different kinds into peony, jasmine, chrysanthemum, tulips and carnation. The coexistence of superordinate and hyponyms makes the description ambiguous. In addition, the word "uncle" in English includes the meaning of “伯伯”，“叔叔”，“舅舅”，“姑父”，“姨夫”, so it is not necessary to distinguish "伯伯" from "叔叔" in the paragraph.(4 points)
