Answer
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
