Odd Word Pair
The given response consists of word pairs that are related to each other in some way. One of the pairs is different from the others and we need to identify the odd pair.
Approach:
We need to analyze the relation between the words in each pair and find the pair that does not follow the same pattern as the others.
Solution:
a) Flurry: Blizzard - Both words refer to a type of snowfall, where flurry is a light snowfall and blizzard is a heavy snowstorm.
b) Moisten: Drench - Both words refer to the degree of wetness, where moisten means to make something slightly wet and drench means to soak something completely.
c) Prick: Stab - Both words refer to a sharp, pointed object piercing through something, where prick is a small, sharp, piercing sensation and stab is a forceful piercing through something.
d) Scrub: Polish - Both words refer to cleaning or shining something, where scrub means to clean something by rubbing it hard and polish means to make something shiny by rubbing it.
The odd pair here is (a) Flurry: Blizzard because while all the other pairs have words with a similar degree or intensity of the action, in this pair, flurry and blizzard have different degrees of snowfall.
Therefore, option (A) is the correct answer.
