Classification — impurities/residue vs main item: pick the pair that is NOT “impurity/residue : main food/drink.”

Verbal Reasoning Classification Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
  • A
    Chaff : Wheat
  • B
    Grit : Pulses
  • C
    Grain : Crop
  • D
    Dregs : Wine

Answer

Correct Answer: Grain : Crop

Explanation

Introduction / Context:Three pairs name an unwanted impurity or leftover matched with a main commodity (food/drink). One pair instead names the desirable produce and its broader category (part→whole of the good itself).

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Chaff : Wheat → chaff is removed from wheat grain.
  • Grit : Pulses → grit/pebbles are impurities removed from pulses.
  • Dregs : Wine → sediment/residue in wine.
  • Grain : Crop → grain is the harvested produce of a crop (not an impurity).

Concept / Approach:Group by “impurity/residue vs main item.” The lone positive-produce relation is the odd one.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1) A, B, D are impurity/residue → main item.2) C is produce → category.3) Hence C is the odd pair.

Verification / Alternative check:During processing, chaff/grit/dregs are removed; grain is what we keep.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They consistently reflect “remove the unwanted from the wanted.”

Common Pitfalls:Assuming any relation counts; the question targets impurity mapping.

Final Answer:Grain : Crop
