Water is to dihydrogen monoxide as kind is to:
  1. family
  2. friends
  3. genus
  4. oceans

The closest are family and friends, but it depends on how nice you think your family is. This analogy is fundamentally broken.

Genus, of course. "kind" in this context is its meaning of "type" as in "what kind of fish is that with the big lips and incisors"?
OTOH, "What kind of triggerfish went viral recently?", "What kind of vertebrate has fins and scales?" or "What kind of big cat has spots?". No genus involved.

A genus is a "type" or "kind", nevertheless. So foo on yoo.

We are looking for working definitions. How do you tell if two different populations of different genus or the same genus? Creationist definitions fail in the real world.
