Four words have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the word that is different.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Permit.
The logic used here is:
Hinder means making it difficult for (someone) to do something.
Forbid means to refuse to allow.
Impede means to delay or prevent (someone or something) by obstructing them.
Permit means allowing to do something.
Hinder, forbid and impede are synonyms, whereas permit means their opposite.
Hence, option 3 is the odd one out.
