[CYHM-1]what's the difference between "embrace" and "include"?
there are two sentence below:
1. Biology embraces botany and zoology.
2. The United kingdom includes Northern Ireland and Wales.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can find the difference between these two words.
Can you provide me some special sample sentences to distinguish them?
Thank you so much~!!!

Answer

To embrace literally means "to hug" if Biology embraces Botany, then Biology must have Botany and there is a close relationship that cannot be broken. "To include" means that one subject contains several smaller subjects and the smaller subjects are parts of the larger one. If the UK includes Northern Ireland and Wales, then N. Ireland and Whales are parts of the larger UK.
