| Word | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Offspring (answer) | a person's children, the next generation (a parent gives birth to offspring, and offspring are born of a parent, so the two words stand at opposite ends of the same relation) | The old farmer divided his land among his offspring. |
| (2) Country | a nation with its own land and government (it has no link with family relations) | India is a country of many languages. |
| (3) Class | a group of students taught together, or a group of things of one kind (it is not a family word) | Our class went on a trip to the museum. |
| (4) Mountain | a very high hill (it has nothing to do with parents and children) | They climbed the mountain in two days. |
