Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: DAIRY
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
We need the single formable option.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Eliminate options that require absent letters or higher counts than available.
Step-by-Step Solution:
“DAIRY”: D,A,I,R,Y ⇒ all present.“NATION” needs N×1 (ok) but typically requires two N? (NATION is N,A,T,I,O,N: N×2); DICTIONARY has N×1 ⇒ cannot be formed.“ADDITION” needs D×2 (source has D×1) ⇒ cannot be formed.“BINARY” needs B (absent) ⇒ cannot be formed.
Verification / Alternative check:
Re-count D,N,B to confirm the eliminations.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They demand letters or counts not available in the source.
Common Pitfalls:
Overlooking invisible constraints like the second N or second D.
Final Answer:
DAIRY
