Classification – Odd one out (precipitation terms vs unrelated noun): Select the outlier: Rain, Shower, Sleet, Raisin.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Raisin

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Meteorological vocabulary contrasts with food items. Three terms name precipitation phenomena; one is a dried fruit, unrelated to weather.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Rain → liquid precipitation.
  • Shower → brief/light episode of rain.
  • Sleet → pellets/mixed frozen precipitation.
  • Raisin → dried grape (food item).


Concept / Approach:
Group by domain: meteorology vs food. The non-meteorological word is the outlier.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Rain/Shower/Sleet → weather terms.Raisin → food item.



Verification / Alternative check:
Polysemy for “shower” exists, but paired with rain and sleet, the weather sense is intended.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Rain, Shower, Sleet all denote precipitation types/events.


Common Pitfalls:
Reading “raisin” as “raising”; ensure correct spelling.



Final Answer:
Raisin
