Classification — pest and target: choose the pair that is factually wrong.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Aphid : Paper

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Three pairs correctly link a pest to what it commonly damages. One pair is incorrect: aphids attack plants by sucking sap, not paper.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Moth : Wool → clothing moths damage wool.
  • Termite : Wood → termites damage timber/wooden structures.
  • Locust : Plant → locust swarms devastate crops.
  • Aphid : Paper → incorrect target; aphids infest plants.


Concept / Approach:
Validate each pest→target based on common biology/agriculture facts.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Confirm B–D as correct.2) Flag A as incorrect.3) Therefore A is the odd pair.


Verification / Alternative check:
Garden references list aphids as plant pests (leaves/stems), never a paper pest.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They show well-known pest damages.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing paper pests (e.g., silverfish) with aphids.


Final Answer:
Aphid : Paper
