Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: TSROFE
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Anagram sets often hide three objects from one domain and a single intruder from another grammatical/semantic class. Here, PILLOW, MATTRESS, and QUILT are bedroom/bedding items; SOFTER is an adjective, not an item.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Unscramble and categorize: object nouns vs adjectives. Select the non-object item.
Step-by-Step Solution:
PILLOW, MATTRESS, QUILT → physical bedding items.SOFTER → adjective → not a bedding item → odd one out.
Verification / Alternative check:
Try noun substitution in “Put the ___ on the bed.” Works for pillow/mattress/quilt, not for “softer.”
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Forcing “TSROFE” into “FOREST.” The exact letters rearrange to “SOFTER,” which is the intended mismatch.
Final Answer:
TSROFE
