Classification — select the odd relationship pair: identify the single pair that does not represent a true part–whole relation.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Loom : Cloth

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Relationship-classification questions probe whether you can distinguish part–whole from other semantic links. Three of the listed pairs express a component–object relation; one pair instead indicates producer–product.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Book–Page: a page is a part of a book.
  • Table–Drawer: a drawer (in a table with drawers) is a part of the table unit.
  • Car–Wheel: a wheel is a component of a car.
  • Loom–Cloth: a loom produces cloth; cloth is not a part of the loom.


Concept / Approach:
Classify each pair as part–whole vs producer–product. The unique non–part–whole pair is the odd one out.



Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Book : Page → component of the whole → part–whole.2) Table : Drawer → component (in furniture with drawers) → part–whole.3) Car : wheel → component → part–whole.4) Loom : Cloth → production relation, not a component → producer–product.5) Therefore Loom : Cloth is the unique odd relationship.



Verification / Alternative check:
Try reversal: removing the right-hand term should make the left-hand object incomplete (true for page/drawer/wheel; false for loom without cloth).



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are valid part–whole relations and thus belong to the majority group.



Common Pitfalls:
Assuming “table:drawer” is invalid because not all tables have drawers—the test considers typical furniture variants where a drawer is indeed a part.



Final Answer:
Loom : Cloth
