Question : Directions: Three of the following words are alike in some manner and hence form a group. Which word does NOT belong to that group? (The words must be considered meaningful English words and must not be grouped based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word).
Option 1: Clarinet
Option 2: Flute
Option 3: Piano
Option 4: Piccolo
Correct Answer: Piano
Solution :
Let's check each option –
First option:
Clarinet; The clarinet is a musical instrument that belongs to the woodwind family.
Second option:
Flute; The flute is another woodwind instrument, but unlike the clarinet, it produces sound through the flow of air across an opening rather than using a reed.
Third option:
Piano; The piano is a keyboard instrument with a row of keys that are pressed to strike strings inside the instrument.
Fourth option:
Piccolo; The piccolo is a small flute, also belonging to the woodwind family. It produces a high-pitched and bright sound and is often used in orchestras and military bands.
So, the third option is different from the other three options because the piano is a keyboard instrument, and it is classified separately from woodwind instruments. Hence, the third option is correct.
