Question

Which of these is a possible hypernym of fish?

vertebrate

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The task asks for a possible hypernym of fish and provides the single candidate option vertebrate.
First, recall what a hypernym is: a more general term that encompasses its more specific instances. In biological classification, 'vertebrate' is the group that includes animals with a backbone.
Option under consideration: vertebrate. This term indeed broadens to include fish, as all fish are vertebrates because they possess a spinal column.
To analyze the concept further, imagine the hierarchy: fish are a subset of vertebrates, which are in turn part of larger groups such as animals, chordates, and so on. Vertebrate correctly sits above fish in this hierarchy and is therefore a valid hypernym.
Since no other options are provided in the prompt, there is nothing else to compare against. If alternative hypernyms had been listed (for example, animal or chordate), those would also be correct in a broader sense, but the given option vertebrate is definitively a valid hypernym for fish.
In summary, vertebrate is an appropriate and correct hypernym for fish because every fish belongs to the vertebrate lineage with a spinal column, placing it under that more general category.
