Answer
Correct Answer: Taxi
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Transport modes can be grouped by propulsion. Three are human/animal-powered vehicles; one is a motorized automobile used for hire.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Rickshaw → human-powered (or cycle) vehicle.
- Tanga → horse-drawn carriage.
- Cart → animal- or human-drawn goods vehicle.
- Taxi → motor car for hire.
Concept / Approach:Separate non-motorized vs motorized. The only motor vehicle is the outlier.
Step-by-Step Solution:Rickshaw/Tanga/Cart → human/animal traction.Taxi → engine-powered automobile.
Verification / Alternative check:Auto-rickshaw exists but is distinct from “rickshaw.” The basic term here implies non-motorized variant compared to a taxi.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Rickshaw, Tanga, Cart rely on human/animal power.
Common Pitfalls:Assuming “rickshaw” is always motorized; context distinguishes it from “auto-rickshaw.”
Final Answer:Taxi
