Pick the Odd one out from the given alternatives-
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
1) Hive - Web - Spider: Here, 'spider' is an organism, while 'hive' and 'web' are living places or homes. This group is mixed (house and living being).
2) Cave - Shed - Kennel: All three are shelters. A cave is for lions, a shed is for cattle, and a kennel is for dogs.
3) Hole - Igloo - Cottage: All three are also living places. A hole is for rats or snakes, an igloo is an ice house, and a cottage is a small house.
4) Aquarium - Anthill - Kennel: All three are also living places. An aquarium is for fish, an anthill is for ants, and a kennel is for dogs.
The three words given in options 2, 3, and 4 are simply names of living places. Whereas in option 1 'spider' is the name of an organism and not of its habitat (though the web is its home, the spider itself is the organism).
