Classification – Unscramble each group to a meaningful English word, then find the odd one out based on semantic category (numbers vs operation). Scrambles: GHIET, VEENS, VIDEID, ORFU.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: VIDEID

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:Some verbal items combine anagramming with categorization. After unscrambling, three words belong to a single semantic class, and one falls outside it.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • GHIET → EIGHT (number).
  • VEENS → SEVEN (number).
  • ORFU → FOUR (number).
  • VIDEID → DIVIDE (arithmetic operation, not a number name).

Concept / Approach:First, correctly unscramble each option. Then, group by semantic category: number names versus arithmetic operations.

Step-by-Step Solution:Unscramble all four.Classify EIGHT/SEVEN/FOUR as number names.Classify DIVIDE as an operation.Select the operation as the odd one.

Verification / Alternative check:Confirm each anagram via common word lists; only DIVIDE is not a cardinal number word.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:GHIET/VEENS/ORFU: Each unscrambles to a cardinal number term and thus forms the majority class.

Common Pitfalls:Mis-anagramming “VIDEID” as “DEVISED”; the exact letters yield DIVIDE.

Final Answer:VIDEID
