Classification (relation type): Three pairs show an object and its inherent property (quality); one pair shows a container and its content. Choose the odd pair.
Correct Answer: Purse : Money
Introduction / Context:This item tests recognition of semantic relation types. Most options express an object → inherent property linkage. One option instead encodes a container → content relationship, which is categorically different.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Ice cube → cold (intrinsic state/quality).
- Iron → hard (inherent property).
- Marble → smooth (typical surface quality; spelling corrected from “Marbale”).
- Purse → money (content carried, not an inherent property).
Concept / Approach:Classify each pair as “object–property” or “container–content.” The odd pair will be of the latter type only.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Ice cube : Cold → object–property.Iron : Hard → object–property.Marble : Smooth → object–property.Purse : Money → container–content (different).Verification / Alternative check:Ask: Can the right-hand term be described as a characteristic adjective? “Cold,” “hard,” and “smooth” are qualities; “money” is a noun denoting content.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Ice cube, iron, and marble pairs consistently describe inherent qualities.Common Pitfalls:Overlooking part-of-speech clues (adjective vs noun). Adjectives typically indicate properties in such questions.
Final Answer:Purse : Money
