Questions and Answers

1.

Words ambiguity are two types: hyponymy and polysemy?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because word ambiguity can indeed be categorized into two types: hyponymy and polysemy. Hyponymy refers to the relationship between a general term and its specific instances, where the instances are all part of the same category. Polysemy, on the other hand, refers to the phenomenon of a single word having multiple meanings. Therefore, the statement accurately reflects the two types of word ambiguity.

- A.

The type of antonyms between father/ son is [. ].

Correct Answer
Converse Antonyms

Explanation
Converse antonyms refer to words that have opposite meanings but also reverse the relationship between two entities. In the case of father/son, the relationship is reversed, as the father is the male parent and the son is the male child. Therefore, father and son can be considered as converse antonyms.

Love/ Hate is a gradable antonymy?
- A.
  
  True

Love/hate is a gradable antonymy because the two terms exist on a spectrum and can be seen as opposite ends of a continuum. Love and hate are not absolute opposites but can be experienced in varying degrees. For example, someone can love someone else a little bit or a lot, and similarly, someone can hate someone else a little bit or a lot. This suggests that love/hate is a gradable antonymy.
