Choose the odd one out.

Correct — C.
Rule: three are flowers, one is a fruit.

Lily, lotus and jasmine are grown and known for their flowers.
Grapes are a fruit, eaten fresh or dried as raisins.

The fruit is the odd one → option (c).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  Lily — Lily is a flower, like lotus and jasmine. Removing it would leave grapes, a fruit, sitting inside a group of flowers.
• (b)
  Lotus — Lotus is a flower, and the national flower of India. It is the clearest member of the flower group, not the odd one.
• (d)
  Jasmine — Jasmine is a flower, prized for its scent and strung into garlands. It belongs with lily and lotus, leaving grapes as the fruit.

Word classification asks for the category that three items share. Name the group first, then test each item against it.

Here lily, lotus and jasmine are flowers: the flower is the part each plant is known for. Grapes are a fruit. That puts grapes outside the group and makes them the odd one.

Key facts

• The lotus is the national flower of India.
• Raisins are dried grapes.
• Grapes grow in bunches on a woody climbing vine.

Common traps

• Looking for a letter or spelling pattern when the grouping is by meaning
• Arguing that a grapevine flowers too: the grouping is by what each plant is known for
