Four worked answers:
Human’s proximate genus: animal, the nearest common essential class.
Human’s remote genus: growing body, with animal intervening.
Human’s proximate differentia: rational, distinguishing it within animals.
Human’s remote differentia: sentient, distinguishing animals from plants but not human from other animals.
The reasons matter more than memorizing isolated words.
