Find the odd word (church items vs unrelated term): Pick the option that does not commonly denote a church furnishing or group.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Mettle

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Semantic fields provide clean grouping. Three words denote items or groups associated with a church setting, while one denotes a personal quality unrelated to church furnishings or roles. Correcting a likely misspelling, Altar (not Alter) is the intended sacred table in a church.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Pew: bench seating in a church.
  • Altar: sacred table or structure in a church.
  • Choir: organized group of singers in a church service context.
  • Mettle: a person's resilience or spirit; not a church furnishing or group.


Concept / Approach:
Group tokens by domain relevance to church architecture and liturgy. Three belong to the ecclesiastical domain; one is general abstract vocabulary.



Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Mark church-related terms: Pew, Altar, Choir.2) Mark unrelated abstract noun: Mettle.3) Mettle is the odd item.


Verification / Alternative check:
Attempt to use each in a sentence about church interiors; mettle does not fit as an object or role within the building.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are standard components or groups in church services or interiors.



Common Pitfalls:
Do not confuse Alter with Altar; the corrected church term is Altar.



Final Answer:
Mettle
