Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Boy : Girl
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Three pairs show a hyponym→hypernym (item→category) relation. One pair lists coordinate terms at the same level (two categories/person-types), not an is-a relation.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Test “X is a kind of Y.” If false or inapplicable (because both are kinds of Z), the pair is the outlier.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Shirt→Dress = true (garment type).2) Mango→Fruit = true.3) Table→Furniture = true.4) Boy→Girl = false; both are coordinate under “child/person.”
Verification / Alternative check:
Try reversing: “Girl is a type of Boy” is false, confirming non-hierarchical relation.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are valid is-a relations.
Common Pitfalls:
Letting social/semantic nuances distract; strictly follow category logic.
Final Answer:
Boy : Girl
