Question

Which one of the following words is least like the other words?

The correct answer is
Brass

Question Type: Odd One Out

Step-by-step Solution:

The question asks to identify the word that is least similar to the others. Let's analyze each option:

  • Copper: A chemical element, a reddish-brown metal.
  • Zinc: A chemical element, a bluish-white metal.
  • Brass: An alloy (a mixture of metals), primarily made of copper and zinc.
  • Aluminium: A chemical element, a lightweight silvery-white metal.

Core Logic/Pattern: Copper, Zinc, and Aluminium are all chemical elements – pure metals. Brass, however, is an alloy (a mixture) of copper and zinc.

Eliminating Incorrect Options: Copper, Zinc, and Aluminium are all individual elements. Brass is the odd one out because it is a combination of two other elements.

Therefore, Brass is the least like the other words.
