Question

Find the odd one out.

• A. Abatement
• B. Declination
• C. Elevation
• D. Subsidence

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this problem, we need to identify the word that is conceptually different from the others. Let's analyze each option:

• Abatement: Refers to a reduction or decrease in amount, degree, or intensity.
• Declination: Is the action or condition of declining; a downward movement or decrease.
• Elevation: Refers to the height above a given level, especially sea level, or it can mean a rise in position or rank. It conveys an increase or upward action.
• Subsidence: Refers to the gradual caving in or sinking of an area of land, or a decrease or lowering in level.

Among these words, Elevation is the "odd one out" as it indicates an upward motion or increase, whereas the other words (Abatement, Declination, Subsidence) all relate to a downward motion or decrease.
