Classification – Containers vs conveyance: choose the odd one out. Three are containers for holding/storing items; one is primarily a wheeled conveyance. Which option does not belong? Options: Basket, Barrel, Bag, Barrow.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Barrow

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Household/utility classifications often distinguish static containers from transport implements. Baskets, barrels, and bags primarily store/hold; a barrow (wheelbarrow) is used to move items.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Basket: container.
  • Barrel: container.
  • Bag: container.
  • Barrow: wheeled conveyance, not primarily a storage container.


Concept / Approach:
Identify the dominant function (storage vs transport). The conveyance device is the exception.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Tag each as container or conveyance.Step 2: Basket/Barrel/Bag are containers.Step 3: Barrow is a conveyance; thus, it is the odd one out.



Verification / Alternative check:
Retail categorization: containers are sold in storage sections; barrows are tools/equipment in garden/building sections.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Basket/Barrel/Bag: All perform the core storage/holding function.



Common Pitfalls:
Do not confuse the ability to “carry” with being a container; a wheelbarrow’s core is transport, not storage.



Final Answer:
Barrow
