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
