Classification — person and association: pick the pair that is NOT “person : organization/group,” but rather “person : building/place.”

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Soldier : Barrack

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:Three pairs connect a person to the organization/group they belong to or lead. One pair connects a person to a building/place instead of a group.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Principal : School → head of an institution (organization).
  • Artist : Troupe → member of a performing group.
  • Singer : Chorus → member of a vocal group.
  • Soldier : Barrack → barrack is a building/place where soldiers stay, not a group.

Concept / Approach:Distinguish organization/group from physical place/building.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1) A, C, D map to organization/group relations.2) B maps to place/building.3) Therefore B is the odd pair.

Verification / Alternative check:Ask: does the right-hand term denote a collective of people? “Barrack” does not; “school/troupe/chorus” do.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They preserve the group-oriented relation.

Common Pitfalls:Assuming any association qualifies; category (group vs place) matters.

Final Answer:Soldier : Barrack
