(Samuel Eliot Morison). An instance is an example that is cited to prove or to illustrate a point: an instance of flagrant corruption. A case is an action, an occurrence, or a condition that relates specifically to something being discussed, decided, or treated: a typical case of child neglect. An illustration clarifies or explains: provided an illustration of the word in context. A sample is an actual part of something larger, presented as evidence of the quality or nature of the whole: gave us a sample of her temper. Specimen often denotes an individual, representative member of a group or class: This poem is a fair specimen of her work. See also synonyms at ideal
