Answer 1

The word relationship used in the passage is that of a categorical classification or hyponymy. In this case, "marsupials" is the broader category (hypernym) that includes specific examples (hyponyms) such as "kangaroos," "koalas," and "possums." The passage is classifying these specific animals as members of the larger group of marsupials.
