Classification – Odd one out (food vs habitat) Three pairs are animal → typical food; one pair is animal → typical place (habitat/setting). Identify the pair that does not follow the food relationship.

Introduction / Context:
This item juxtaposes “animal → food” against “animal → place.” Correctly separating consumption relations from locational relations is a staple in classification tasks about living things.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Cow : Fodder (diet)
• Crow : Carrion (diet)
• Poultry : Farm (place of rearing/habitat)
• Vulture : Prey (diet)

Concept / Approach:
Mark whether the second term is eaten by the first (food) or is a typical place associated with the first (habitat/farm). Choose the non-food relation as the outlier.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Cow : Fodder → food relation.Crow : Carrion → food relation.Vulture : Prey → food relation.Poultry : Farm → place/habitat relation → odd one out.

Verification / Alternative check:
Attempt substitution: “Poultry eats farm” is nonsensical, while “cow eats fodder,” “crow eats carrion,” and “vulture eats prey” are semantically valid. This confirms the relational mismatch.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Cow : Fodder → diet relation.
• Crow : Carrion → diet relation.
• Vulture : Prey → diet relation.
• None of these → a single place relation exists (Poultry : Farm).

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “where” with “what.” Farms are locations for poultry but not their food.

Final Answer:
Poultry : Farm
