Answer
Correct Answer: Temple : Hindu
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Three pairs follow “scripture → adherents.” One pair switches to “place of worship → adherents.” Identify the mismatched relation type.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Avesta → Zoroastrian/Parsi scripture.
- Torah → Judaism.
- Tripitaka (Tipitaka) → Buddhism.
- Temple → place/building, not a scripture; associated with Hindus.
Concept / Approach:Keep relation type constant (book→religion). Spot the option that changes the second element to a place rather than a text.
Step-by-Step Solution:1) A, B, C fit the scripture→faith mapping.2) D replaces “book” with “place,” altering the relation.3) Hence D is the outlier.
Verification / Alternative check:Ask: can the second item be “read” as a book? Only A–C qualify.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They are correct scripture→religion associations.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing “Gita/Vedas” (texts) with “Temple” (place). The question tests consistency of relation.
Final Answer:Temple : Hindu
