Find the odd letter (vowel vs consonant): Pick the one that is not a vowel.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: M

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Odd-one-out items in verbal reasoning often rely on a single linguistic attribute that splits a small set cleanly. In English alphabets, letters are grouped into vowels and consonants; this binary is stable and widely taught, making it a reliable separator.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • A: vowel
  • E: vowel
  • I: vowel
  • M: consonant


Concept / Approach:
Use the vowel–consonant classification. If three are vowels and one is a consonant (or vice versa), the singleton defines the outlier.



Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Classify each letter: A, E, I → vowels; M → consonant.2) Count category membership: three vowels vs one consonant.3) The unique member is the consonant “M”.


Verification / Alternative check:
Cross-check pronunciation and standard school lists of vowels (A, E, I, O, U). “M” is not in that set.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They belong to the vowel set and therefore are not the outlier.



Common Pitfalls:
Avoid confusing sometimes-vowel “Y”; it is not present here and does not affect this classification.



Final Answer:
M
