Question

Choose the word from the given alternatives that cannot be formed using each letter of the given word 'PARANORMAL' only once.

The correct answer is
RARE

Analyze PARANORMAL Letter Availability

First, let's count the occurrences of each letter in the given word 'PARANORMAL':

  • A: 3
  • R: 2
  • P: 1
  • N: 1
  • O: 1
  • M: 1
  • L: 1

The word 'PARANORMAL' contains the letters A, R, P, N, O, M, L. It does not contain the letter E.

Evaluate Word Formation Options

Now, let's check if each option can be formed using the letters from 'PARANORMAL' exactly once:

  • RARE: This word requires the letters R (twice), A (once), and E (once). Since the letter 'E' is not present in 'PARANORMAL', this word cannot be formed.
  • PALM: This word requires P (once), A (once), L (once), and M (once). All these letters are available in 'PARANORMAL'. This word can be formed.
  • ROAR: This word requires R (twice), O (once), and A (once). The letters R, O, and A are available in sufficient quantity in 'PARANORMAL'. This word can be formed.
  • NORM: This word requires N (once), O (once), R (once), and M (once). All these letters are available in 'PARANORMAL'. This word can be formed.

Identify Unformable Word

Based on the analysis, the word RARE is the only option that cannot be formed because it requires the letter 'E', which is missing from the source word 'PARANORMAL'.
