Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Furniture : Chair
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Language classification often distinguishes true collective/container terms from broader category words. Album, bouquet, and bunch are collective/container terms for photos, flowers, and grapes respectively. “Furniture” is a mass noun/category under which “chair” is a member, not a container that holds chairs. Hence, we must spot that category–member relation among container–content relations.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Test for “X contains/holds Y” versus “X is a category of Y.” The outlier expresses a taxonomy relation rather than containment/collection.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Try “X of Y” phrasing: album of photos, bouquet of flowers, bunch of grapes work; “furniture of chairs” is ungrammatical as containment.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Accepting frequent co-occurrence as containment. Category membership is not the same as being a physical collection.
Final Answer:
Furniture : Chair
