Alright, so "semblance" is a bit of a fancy word, but it's not too hard to understand once we break it down. In simple terms, "semblance" means the outward appearance or the way something seems to be. It's like when you see a really good disguise in a movie, and you can kind of tell that it's not real but it looks real, that's the "semblance" of the character.

But "semblance" can also mean a similarity or resemblance between two things. It's like when you and your best friend like the same kind of pizza, there's a "semblance" or similarity between your tastes.

So, in a nutshell, "semblance" means the way something looks or appears on the outside, and it can also mean a similarity or resemblance between two things. It's kind of like when we put on a costume for Halloween, it's not who we really are, but it looks like it is, that's the "semblance" of the costume.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you need any more examples or if there's anything else I can do to help you understand the word "semblance" better.
