Classification – Odd one out (mythical vs real animals): Choose the one that does not belong: Unicorn, Rhino, Fox, Antelope.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Unicorn

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Taxonomic or reality-status classification is common in verbal reasoning. Three options are extant, real animals; one is a legendary creature found in myth and heraldry.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Unicorn: mythical, horse-like creature with a single horn.
  • Rhino: real, large herbivore with one or two horns.
  • Fox: real, small-to-medium omnivorous mammal.
  • Antelope: real, herbivorous ungulate group.


Concept / Approach:
Dichotomize into real vs mythical. The unique mythical entity is the outlier.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Rhino, Fox, Antelope → real animals.Unicorn → legendary, not scientifically recognized.



Verification / Alternative check:
Even considering one-horned rhinos, unicorns remain mythical; there is no natural species corresponding to the unicorn of lore.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Rhino, Fox, Antelope are real taxa; they form the majority class.


Common Pitfalls:
Associating “one horn” with unicorn and rhino; reality status is the intended discriminator here.



Final Answer:
Unicorn
