GAT Verbal | Odd One Out Explained | Ivy English Academy

Описание: In this lesson of the GAT Preparation Course, Mr. Ahmed Adly from Ivy English Academy explains Odd One Out questions (GAT Verbal – Type 3) in a clear, step-by-step way.

🔍 What is “Odd One Out” in GAT?

You are given four words:

Three share a common relationship

One word does not belong

Your task is to identify the intruder

Think of it as:

Find the hidden category → remove the intruder

📚 What kind of similarities appear in GAT?

The three related words may share:

🐾 Same category
(lion – tiger – leopard vs. carrot)

🔧 Same function
(pen – pencil – marker vs. eraser)

🧠 Same meaning group
(angry – furious – enraged vs. calm)

🏷️ Same classification
(eagle – crow – owl vs. bat)

🧩 Same part of speech
(run – jump – swim vs. happy)

🧱 Same material or use
(gold – silver – copper vs. plastic)

👉 The odd one breaks the pattern.

🧠 How to Solve Odd One Out (Step-by-Step)

1️⃣ Group the words mentally
Ask: What do three of these have in common?

2️⃣ Look for a strong link, not a weak one
Avoid vague ideas like “all are things.”
Look for specific categories like fruit, mammal, tool.

3️⃣ Check all four options
Sometimes the correct group appears only after checking everything.

4️⃣ Use elimination
If three clearly match, the remaining word is your answer.

5️⃣ Avoid surface traps
Similar spelling or sound ≠ same category.
