Yellow Answers: Detected and explained

I thought I was pretty much ready for this category, but when I first saw this puzzle I wasn't sure what I was looking at. This category didn't make much sense to me, although some of the later ones did. I had JOURNALISM and PAGES together, but figuring out how to add the other two was a little tricky. I didn't Continue the general pattern until the puzzle is finishedeven I was looking for non-existent categories.

The convoluted ways I tried to put these words in almost any other place and any other set of words was probably pretty funny for my computer to follow. I had a GOBLIN with a few other “birds” and SALAD felt like it didn't belong anywhere. Although I have heard all of these terms, they are not often used in my everyday speech, except for superhero.
