Answer 2

The odd one out in each group can be determined by examining the verbs and their objects.

1. discover: America, television, truth, a new plant

   • America: Christopher Columbus discovered America.
   • Television: Television was invented by various inventors.
   • Truth: You don't really "discover" truth; you uncover it or find it out.
   • A new plant: You can discover or find a new plant species.

   The odd one out here is "truth" because you don't typically "discover" truth in the same way you discover physical places or objects.

2. explore: a crime, the coast, space, disease, a country

   • A crime: Detectives may explore or investigate a crime.
   • The coast: Explorers can explore the coast or shoreline.
   • Space: Astronauts and scientists explore space.
   • Disease: Researchers explore diseases to understand them better.
   • A country: Travelers can explore a country.

   The odd one out here is "disease" because you don't typically "explore" diseases in the same way you explore physical locations.

3. found: a colony, treasure, city, money, an institute, a hospital

   • A colony: Colonists found new colonies.
   • Treasure: Pirates or adventurers may find hidden treasure.
   • City: Founders establish cities.
   • Money: Money itself is not something you "found."
   • An institute: People establish institutes.
   • A hospital: Hospitals are built or established.

   The odd one out here is "money" because you don't typically "found" money; you earn or acquire it.

4. spend: money, time, an effort, energy, homework, weekend

   • Money: You spend money on purchases.
   • Time: You can spend time doing various activities.
   • An effort: You spend effort on tasks.
   • Energy: You spend energy on physical activities.
   • Homework: Students spend time on homework.
   • Weekend: You spend your weekend on leisure activities.

   There is no clear odd one out in this group as all the objects are things you can "spend" in different contexts.
