GCAT Verbal Word Classification and Odd-One-Out

Question 1

Which word does NOT belong with the others?

Accepted Answer

Blueprint

Answer

Hammer, wrench, and screwdriver are all physical hand tools used for construction or repair. A blueprint is a technical document, not a tool, so it does not share the same category.

Question 2

Which word does NOT belong with the others?

Accepted Answer

Fern

Answer

Oak, maple, and pine are all trees. A fern is a non-flowering vascular plant — it grows close to the ground and is not classified as a tree.

Question 3

Which word does NOT belong with the others?

Accepted Answer

Moon

Answer

Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all planets in the Solar System. The Moon is Earth's natural satellite, not a planet, so it belongs to a different astronomical category.

Question 4

Which word does NOT belong with the others?

Accepted Answer

Soliloquy

Answer

Sonata, symphony, and concerto are all forms of musical composition. A soliloquy is a dramatic device in theatre where a character speaks their thoughts aloud — it belongs to literature and performance, not music.

Question 5

Which word does NOT belong with the others?

Accepted Answer

Brevity

Answer

Courage, tenacity, and perseverance all describe qualities of determined, resolute character. Brevity means shortness or conciseness — it is about length or duration, not strength of will.
