Test: Classification- 3 - SSC CGL MCQ

To identify the word that is different from the others, we can analyse the given options based on their characteristics.

• Gangtok: A city located in Sikkim, India, known for its scenic beauty.
• Singhbhum: A district in Jharkhand, India, which is primarily rural.
• Hyderabad: A major city in India, famous for its IT industry and historical sites.
• Chennai: A large city and the capital of Tamil Nadu, known for its cultural heritage.
• Bhubaneshwar: The capital of Odisha, recognised for its temples and architecture.

Among these, Singhbhum stands out as it is primarily a district, while the others are major cities. This distinction in classification makes it the different one.

Explanation:

In this question, we need to identify the word that differs from the others. Here’s a breakdown of the terms:

• Hatchlings: Refers to young animals that have recently emerged from their eggs.
• Lamb: A young sheep, commonly associated with livestock.
• Colt: A young male horse, also a domesticated animal.
• Bitch: A female dog, another domesticated animal.
• Farrow: Refers to a female pig giving birth to piglets, but is less commonly used as a term for young animals.

Among these terms, Bitch stands out as it is the only term that specifically refers to a female animal of a species that is often kept as a pet. The others refer to young animals, while Bitch denotes a gender and species that are more domesticated.

Explanation:

In this question, we need to identify the word that is different from the others based on their meanings.

• Raid, Attack, Assault, and Ambush all refer to offensive actions typically involving aggression or violence.
• Defence, however, indicates a protective action, which is fundamentally different from the others.

Thus, the word that stands out as different is Defence as it represents the opposite concept of protection rather than aggression.

To determine the odd word out, consider the following:

• Tomato - a fruit often used as a vegetable.
• Carrot - a root vegetable, typically orange in colour.
• Ginger - a root used as a spice and for medicinal purposes.
• Potato - a starchy root vegetable, widely consumed.
• Turmeric - a spice derived from the root of the Curcuma longa plant.

Among these, the word that stands out as different is Tomato. This is because:

• It is botanically classified as a fruit, while the others are all root vegetables.
• Tomatoes are primarily used in salads and sauces, differing in culinary use.

This distinction makes Tomato the odd one out in this group.

Explanation:

In this question, we need to identify the word that is different from the others based on their characteristics. Here’s a breakdown of the options:

• Car: A type of vehicle that runs on roads.
• Scooter: A smaller, two-wheeled vehicle, also for road use.
• Helicopter: An aircraft that flies using rotor blades.
• Aeroplane: A fixed-wing aircraft designed for air travel.
• Cycle: A two-wheeled vehicle powered by pedalling.

Among these options:

• The first four (Car, Scooter, Helicopter, Aeroplane) are primarily motorised vehicles or aircraft.
• In contrast, the Cycle relies on human power and does not use a motor.

Thus, the Cycle is the odd one out.

The task involves identifying the word that stands out from the others based on their relationships. In this case, the words provided are all related to familial roles, except one.

• Mother - A parent, typically female.
• Father - A parent, typically male.
• Sister - A female sibling.
• Brother - A male sibling.
• Friend - A person with whom one shares a bond of mutual affection.

Among these words, Friend is different as it does not imply a familial relationship. The other four terms refer specifically to family members, while a friend is someone outside of the family structure.

Explanation:

The five items listed include various types of containers typically used for drinking or serving liquids. Among these, one item stands out due to its specific use and material. Here's the breakdown:

• Saucer: A small dish designed to hold a cup, often used with tea or coffee.
• Glass: A transparent container usually made of glass, used for various beverages.
• Mug: A sturdy cup, often with a handle, used primarily for hot drinks.
• Beaker: A laboratory container used for measuring and mixing liquids, not typically used for drinking.
• Cup: A small, typically cylindrical container for drinking, often used with a saucer.

Among these items, the beaker is different because:

• It is primarily used in laboratory settings.
• It is not designed for casual drinking.

In contrast, the other items are everyday drinking vessels used in homes or restaurants. This distinction makes the beaker the odd one out.

Explanation:

In this exercise, you are asked to identify the word that is different from the others based on their meanings and contexts. The given words are:

• Joy
• Worry
• Anxiety
• Anger
• Concern

To determine which word stands out, consider the following:

• Joy represents a positive emotion, whereas the other words are associated with negative or uncomfortable feelings.
• Both Worry and Anxiety indicate feelings of unease about future events.
• Anger is a strong emotional response to perceived wrongs, and Concern shows a sense of care or worry about someone or something.

Thus, Joy is the word that differs from the rest as it signifies a positive state, while the others reflect negative emotions.

Explanation:

In this question, we are identifying the word that does not belong with the others. Here’s a brief analysis of each term:

• Nanak: Founder of Sikhism.
• Christ: Central figure of Christianity.
• Buddha: Founder of Buddhism.
• Gandhi: Prominent leader in India's independence movement, known for his philosophy of non-violence.
• Mahavira: Key figure in Jainism, known for his teachings on non-violence and truth.

Four of these individuals are religious leaders who established major religions, while Gandhi is primarily known for his political activism rather than founding a religion. Thus, he is the outlier in this group.

Explanation:

• The set of words consists of items used for writing or related to paper.
• Book, Paper, Pencil, and Pen are all directly involved in the writing process.
• However, Sharpener is distinct as it is a tool used to sharpen pencils, making it less directly related to writing.
• Thus, the word that stands out as different is Sharpener.

To identify the word that differs from the others, consider the following:

• Pound, Yen, Franc, and Dollar are all currencies.
• Ounce is a unit of weight, not a currency.

Thus, the outlier in this group is the Ounce, as it does not represent a form of currency.

To identify the word that is different from the others, consider the following:

• Brick - a building material.
• Heart - an organ in the body.
• Bridge - a structure for crossing.
• Spade - a tool for digging.
• Club - a playing card suit.

Among these options:

• All words, except for one, are associated with objects or structures.
• The heart is distinctly different as it represents an organ, while the others pertain to objects or tools.

Thus, the word that stands out as different is Heart.

The task involves identifying the word that is different from the others in a list of five items. Here’s how to approach this:

• Identify Categories: Examine the words to see if they belong to similar categories. In this case, all are types of vegetables.
• Consider Characteristics: Look at each vegetable's characteristics, such as whether they are fruits, roots, or leafy vegetables.
• Find the Odd One Out: Among the given options, most are classified as fruits or gourds, except for one.

In this example:

• Pumpkin, Cucumber, Brinjal, and Gourd are all fruits.
• Carrot is a root vegetable.

Thus, the word that differs from the rest is Carrot.

Explanation:

In this exercise, we are tasked with identifying the word that is different from the rest based on their meanings. Here’s a breakdown of the options:

• Coarse - refers to something rough or lacking refinement.
• Unrefined - indicates a lack of processing or purity.
• Vulgar - describes something that is lacking sophistication or good taste.
• Oafish - relates to being clumsy or lacking grace.
• Blunt - typically means not sharp, but can also refer to being direct in manner.

Among these words, blunt stands out as the only term that does not inherently relate to a lack of refinement or sophistication. The other four words describe characteristics that suggest a degree of rudeness or lack of subtlety, whereas blunt can refer to physical attributes or straightforwardness, making it the odd one out.

Explanation:

In this question, we need to identify the word that is different from the others based on a common characteristic. Here’s a breakdown of the options:

• Seal: A marine mammal.
• Scorpion: An arachnid that is not aquatic.
• Fish: An aquatic animal, typically found in water.
• Lion: A terrestrial mammal, known as a land predator.

From the options provided:

• Seal and Fish are both aquatic animals.
• Lion is a land-based animal.
• Scorpion is also not aquatic and belongs to a different class of animals.

Among these, the Scorpion stands out as it is neither aquatic like the Seal and Fish nor a land mammal like the Lion. Thus, it represents a different category of organism.

Explanation:

In this exercise, we are tasked with identifying the word that differs from the others based on a common category. Here’s a breakdown of the words:

• Month - Refers to a unit of time, typically 30 or 31 days.
• Year - Represents a period of 12 months.
• Fortnight - Indicates a period of two weeks.
• Season - Denotes a division of the year based on climate, such as summer or winter.
• Week - Comprises seven days.

Among these, Season is distinct as it categorises time based on weather patterns, unlike the others which are strictly measurements of time.

Explanation of Differences Among Terms

In this set of terms, we can identify the unique word by examining the characteristics of each option:

• Kennel: A structure typically used for housing dogs.
• House: A general term for a building where people live.
• Stable: A building designed for housing horses.
• Aviary: A large enclosure for keeping birds.
• Aquarium: A transparent tank for keeping aquatic animals.

While kennel, stable, aviary, and aquarium all refer to specific types of structures used for housing animals, the term house is broader and pertains to human habitation. Therefore, it stands out as the different option in this context.

Explanation of the Answer

In the given set of words, we need to identify the one that is different from the others. Here’s the breakdown:

• Tortoise: A reptile that lives both on land and in water.
• Duck: A bird that is often found in water, known for its quacking sound.
• Snake: A legless reptile that moves by slithering, typically found on land.
• Crow: A bird known for its intelligence, often seen in various environments.
• Whale: A large marine mammal that lives exclusively in water.

All the other words—Tortoise, Duck, Snake, and Crow—refer to animals that can either live on land or in the case of birds, can be found in both environments. However, Whale is unique as it is entirely aquatic and does not inhabit land at any stage of its life. Therefore, Whale stands out as the different one.

Explanation:

Among the five words provided, four refer to types of landforms created by erosion or geological processes, while one does not fit this category. The terms can be understood as follows:

• Cliff: A steep face of rock and earth.
• Canyon: A deep gorge, typically with a river flowing through it.
• Gulch: A narrow, steep-sided ravine marking the course of a fast stream.
• Gorge: A narrow valley between hills or mountains, often with a stream running through it.
• Ravine: A deep, narrow gorge with steep sides, often formed by running water.

All the terms except for Cliff describe depressions or valleys formed by erosion processes. In contrast, a cliff is a vertical or nearly vertical rock face, not a depression. Thus, Cliff is the odd one out.

Explanation:

In this exercise, you need to identify the word that does not fit with the others. The following points explain the reasoning behind the selection:

• Actor, Artist, Musician, and Dancer are all types of performers who typically entertain through art forms.
• Each of these professions involves creative expression and is often associated with the performing arts.
• Footballer, however, is a profession related to sports rather than the arts.
• While all five words represent skilled individuals, four share a common theme in the arts, making Footballer the odd one out.

The word that stands out as different from the others is Paper. Here’s why:

• Sketch, Diagram, Poster, and Chart are all forms of visual representation.
• They are typically used to convey information or ideas clearly and visually.
• Paper, on the other hand, is a material used for writing or printing, not specifically a visual representation.

Therefore, Paper is the odd one out in this group.

Explanation:

In the given set of words, we need to identify the one that is different from the others based on their characteristics.

• Mew – This is a sound typically made by a cat.
• Howl – This sound is often associated with wolves.
• Bark – This is the sound made by dogs.
• Grunt – This sound is commonly associated with pigs.
• Shout – This is a human vocal expression, not an animal sound.

All the first four words represent sounds made by animals, while shout is a sound made by humans. Therefore, shout is the word that stands out as different from the rest.

Explanation:

The task requires identifying one word that is different from the others based on their characteristics. In this case, we have several types of accommodations:

• Hostel - A budget-friendly place often used by young travellers.
• Hotel - A commercial establishment providing lodging and services.
• Inn - A small establishment that offers food and lodging, typically in rural areas.
• Motel - A roadside hotel designed for motorists, featuring direct access to rooms.
• Club - Not primarily a place for lodging, but rather a venue for socialising.

Among these options, Club is the outlier. Unlike the others, which are primarily focused on providing accommodation, a club serves as a social venue. This distinction makes it the different choice in this set.

Explanation:

The task requires identifying the word that stands out from the others based on a common characteristic. In this case, the words listed are all colours:

• Blue
• Green
• Yellow
• White

Among these, the word White is different because:

• It is a neutral colour, whereas the others are all vibrant colours.
• Blue, Green, and Yellow are often associated with a specific hue and are part of the primary or secondary colour spectrum.

This distinction makes White the odd one out in this grouping of colours.

Explanation of the Odd One Out

In this set of animals, we need to identify the one that is different from the others. Here’s the breakdown:

• Fox, Yak, Bear, Sheep:
• All of these animals are classified as mammals.
• They are generally found in various habitats across the world.

• Kangaroo:
• This animal is unique because it is a marsupial, which means it carries its young in a pouch.
• It differs in reproductive and developmental characteristics compared to the other four.

Thus, the kangaroo stands out as the only marsupial in this group, while the others are all typical mammals. This classification makes it the correct answer as the one that is different.
