Answer 2

To find the odd one out in each group, let's examine the sports in each option:

a) Ice hockey, cricket, rugby, weightlifting

• All are team sports except for weightlifting, which is an individual sport. So, the odd one out is weightlifting.

b) Paragliding, horse racing, surfing, javelin

• All are sports or activities that involve some form of equipment or apparatus except for horse racing, which involves horses and jockeys but no equipment like a javelin or paraglider. So, the odd one out is horse racing.

c) Horse racing, marathon, scuba diving, rowing

• All are activities that take place in water except for marathon, which is a running race on land. So, the odd one out is marathon.

d) Boxing, fencing, discus, wrestling

• All are sports that involve direct competition between individuals except for discus, which is an athletic field event. So, the odd one out is discus.

Therefore, the odd ones out are: a) Weightlifting b) Horse racing c) Marathon d) Discus
