Classification (relationship types): Three pairs are antonyms along a single dimension; one pair is a cause–effect or blame assignment relation, not antonymy. Identify the odd pair.

Introduction / Context:
In verbal classification, antonym sets can be polluted with non antonym relations such as cause–effect, association, or role relations. This item contains three clear antonym pairs and one pair that is not an opposition at all. The task is to distinguish a non opposite relation from three genuine binary contrasts.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Pairs: Light-Heavy, Short-Long, Man-Woman, Crime-Blame.
• Antonyms should lie on a single continuum (weight, length, gender categories in common usage).
• Non antonym relations include causal or normative links (crime entails blame) rather than opposite ends of a scale.

Concept / Approach:
Ask whether replacing one word with the other in a sentence reverses meaning along the same dimension. If yes, they are antonyms. If the words instead describe different roles or a cause and its social consequence, they are not antonyms.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Try to form “X is the opposite of Y.” It works for light–heavy, short–long, man–woman. It does not work for crime–blame. One can say “crime leads to blame,” which signals causation rather than opposition.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing frequent association for antonymy. Co occurrence does not imply opposition. Always identify the underlying dimension and ask whether the terms negate each other.

Final Answer:
Crime-Blame
