Question -
Choose the word which is different from the rest.
  • a)
    Sheep
  • b)
    Shrew
  • c)
    Ibex
  • d)
    Gazelle
  • e)
    Tapir
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

To determine which word is different from the rest in the list provided (Sheep, Gazelle, Ibex, Shrew, Tapir), we can analyze the characteristics of each animal:
  • Sheep: A domesticated animal that is often kept for its wool, meat, and milk. It belongs to the family Bovidae.
  • Gazelle: A wild animal known for its speed and grace, part of the Antelope family, typically found in Africa and parts of Asia.
  • Ibex: A wild goat species known for its impressive curved horns, also part of the Bovidae family and typically found in mountainous regions.
  • Shrew: A small, insectivorous mammal that resembles a mouse but is more closely related to moles and hedgehogs. It does not belong to the same category as the others, which are ungulates (hooved animals).
  • Tapir: A large herbivorous mammal resembling a pig with a trunk, found in tropical forests of Central and South America and Southeast Asia. It is also part of the odd-toed ungulates.
From this analysis, we see that Shrew is the odd one out because it is not an ungulate (hooved animal) like the others (Sheep, Gazelle, Ibex, and Tapir).
Thus, the word that is different from the rest is:
d) Shrew.

Understanding the Question
In this question, we need to identify which of the five words is different from the others. The words presented are:
- Trunk
- Tree
- Fruit
- Leaf
- Flower
Analyzing the Words
Let's break down the meanings and relationships of each word:
- Trunk: The main stem of a tree, providing structural support.
- Tree: A perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves.
- Fruit: The mature ovary of a flowering plant, usually containing seeds.
- Leaf: A flat, typically green part of a plant, responsible for photosynthesis.
- Flower: The reproductive structure in flowering plants, often colorful.
Identifying the Odd One Out
Now, let's evaluate the group:
- Trunk, Leaf, Fruit, and Flower: These four terms directly relate to parts or aspects of a tree. They are all components or products of a tree's lifecycle.
- Tree: While this word represents the whole plant, it encompasses all the other terms (trunk, leaf, fruit, flower) as parts of itself.
Conclusion
The word Tree is fundamentally different because it refers to the entire organism rather than a specific part or product of that organism.
- Trunk, Leaf, Fruit, and Flower are parts or derivatives of a tree.
- Tree stands alone as the complete entity, making it the odd one out.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Ishaan Roy answered
Analysis of the Words
To determine which word is different from the others in the provided list, we can analyze the characteristics of each word.
  • Cap: A type of headwear, typically soft and often worn for casual purposes.
  • Turban: A type of headwear made of cloth, often worn in South Asian cultures, especially by men.
  • Helmet: A protective headgear, primarily used for safety in sports or during activities like cycling or construction.
  • Veil: A piece of cloth worn to cover the face, often associated with cultural or religious practices.
  • Hat: A general term for various types of headwear, typically with a brim and often worn for fashion or protection from the elements.

Identifying the Odd One Out
When we examine these items, we can see that:
  • Cap, Turban, Hat, and Veil are all primarily worn as fashion items or cultural accessories.
  • Helmet, on the other hand, is specifically designed for safety and protection, distinguishing it from the others.

Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C' (Helmet), as it serves a fundamentally different purpose compared to the other four words, which are more associated with style or cultural significance.

Choose the word which is different from the rest.
  • a)
    Mathura
  • b)
    Allahabad
  • c)
    Varanasi

Ssc Cgl answered
Among the given options:
  • Mathura, Allahabad, and Varanasi are all known as important religious cities in India, especially for Hindus.
  • Kanpur is mainly recognised as an industrial city and is not famous for religious significance like the others.
So, Kanpur is the word that is different from the rest.
