Answer 2

To identify the odd word in each group, we need to look for the word that doesn't fit with the others in terms of their common characteristics. Let's go through each group:

1. a. trade off b. alternation c. variant d. option Odd one out: b. alternation (The other words are related to choices or possibilities, while "alternation" is related to a sequence of alternating things.)

2. a. harm b. damage c. loss d. evil Odd one out: d. evil (The other words are related to negative consequences or undesirable outcomes, while "evil" refers to moral wickedness.)

3. a. equality b. provision c. distribution d. allocation Odd one out: a. equality (The other words are related to the act of distributing or allocating resources, whereas "equality" refers to the state of being equal.)

4. a. common b. rate c. scarce d. lacking Odd one out: a. common (The other words are related to scarcity or the degree of availability, while "common" means widespread or prevalent.)

5. a. informed b. literate c. educated d. intelligent Odd one out: d. intelligent (The other words are related to knowledge, education, and literacy, while "intelligent" refers to mental capacity.)

6. a. gentle b. fierce c. brutal d. rude Odd one out: d. rude (The other words are related to different levels of intensity or aggression, while "rude" refers to impolite behavior.)

7. a. range b. width c. length d. height Odd one out: a. range (The other words are dimensions or measurements, while "range" refers to the scope or extent of something.)

8. a. explore b. study c. analyze d. assess Odd one out: a. explore (The other words are related to in-depth examination or evaluation, while "explore" means to investigate or discover.)

9. a. overriding b. major c. capital d. prior Odd one out: c. capital (The other words are related to priority or significance, while "capital" can refer to financial or political contexts.)

10. a. make b. affect c. influence d. control Odd one out: a. make (The other words are related to exerting power or impact on something, while "make" is a more general term for creating or producing something.)

Remember that the concept of "odd one out" can sometimes be subjective, and different interpretations are possible. However, in this context, these are the words that stand out as less related to the others in each group.
