Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: OUT
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Word-classification often uses simple letter features. Here, each option is a three-letter English word. The criterion is the count of vowels (A, E, I, O, U). Three have exactly one vowel; one has two. The task is to pick the outlier with two vowels.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Count vowels in each word and compare. The unique case with two vowels is the odd one out.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Check consonant count: the outlier has only one consonant (T), whereas the others have two consonants each.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Overcomplicating with alphabetic positions. The test here is a straightforward vowel count.
