Word Classification / Odd One Out

Word Classification questions give a group of words and ask which option belongs with them (or which is the odd one out). The key is to name the group's shared property precisely enough that it includes the members and excludes everything else.

How to think about it

  1. State the property the given words share, as exactly as you can.
  2. Test each option against that property.
  3. Make the property narrow enough to exclude the non-members.
  4. For odd-one-out, find the single word your precise property leaves out.

The most common trap

Using a category reading too broad to exclude the distractors.
