Question

Choose the odd one out:

• A. Water : : Dirty : : Clean
• B. Battery : : Dead : : Music
• C. Wood : : Burn : : Food
• D. Juice : : Ferment : : Wine
• E. Rain : : Thunder : : Hail

Hint:

In “odd one out” questions, look for the common relationship pattern among most options. The one that does not fit the same logical or cause-effect relationship is the odd one.

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Step 1: Analyze the pattern in each pair.
- (A) Water becomes dirty while cleaning something and can later be made clean. A transformation process. - (B) Battery becomes dead after producing or playing music. Cause–effect relationship. - (C) Wood burns when preparing food. Transformation process again. - (D) Juice ferments to produce wine. Transformation process. - (E) Rain may be accompanied by thunder, but thunder does not transform into hail. This is not a proper process–result relationship.

Step 2: Identify the odd one.
Options (A), (B), (C), and (D) all show a clear cause-effect or transformation relationship. Option (E) does not follow the same logical link, since thunder and hail are not transformation outcomes of rain. \[ \boxed{\text{Answer: E (Rain : : Thunder : : Hail)}} \]
