Answer
Correct Answer: Ticket : Train
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Three pairs show “in/on/part-of” relations (physical inclusion/attachment). One pair instead expresses a purpose/usage relation (a ticket is for a train), not inclusion/attachment.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Stamp : Letter → affixed on a letter.
- Ink : Pen → ink is in a pen.
- Car : Engine → engine is in a car (part-of).
- Ticket : Train → for traveling by train; not contained in/on the train.
Concept / Approach:Filter pairs by “physical inclusion/attachment.” The single purpose-only mapping is the odd pair.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) A, C, D show inclusion/part-of.2) B shows purpose.3) Therefore B is the odd one.Verification / Alternative check:Ask “Is the right-hand item physically in/on the left?” Only B answers “no.”
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They preserve inclusion/attachment.
Common Pitfalls:Equating “related to” with “contained in/on.”
Final Answer:Ticket : Train
