Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Mouth
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Biological classification often hinges on functional roles. Three items are canonical sense organs; one is an anatomical region that contains other parts but is not, itself, a distinct sense organ.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Identify which item names a sense organ in its own right versus a larger anatomical area.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Tongue/Nose/Eye → each directly supports one of the five senses.2) Mouth → broader structure (oral cavity) housing parts; not a distinct sense organ.3) Therefore “Mouth” is the outlier.
Verification / Alternative check:
Associate each with a specific sense: taste, smell, sight; “mouth” lacks a unique, dedicated sensory modality.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are each primary organs for a human sense.
Common Pitfalls:
Conflating mouth with tongue; only the tongue is the sense organ (taste buds).
Final Answer:
Mouth
