[General] "Select seeds of different 'types' and sizes."

[Kwan Seong Kim]

[FONT=q_serif]During the IELTS test, I found the answer were 'Types' and 'sizes' of one question. I believe 'type' is superordinate concepts than 'size', such as 'weight' and 'size'.

"Select seeds of different 'types' and sizes." <= is this correct concept?[/FONT]

Re: I wonder whether it is correct or not

Yes, it's fine.

'Type' and 'size' are different categories. Two things can be of the same size but of different types, or of the same type but of different sizes.

We don't know what 'type' means in this context, but we could guess that it refers to species.

Are you thinking that if two seeds are of the same species, then they must necessarily be the same size?

It is not normal to underline every word in a sentence. Instead, use underlining to highlight a word or phrase.

It's underlined because the whole post is a link to the same post on Quora.com.

OK. Well, Kwan Seong Kim, you need to simplify your sentences. And you might want to explain what "superordinate" means.
