Problem 1 (Odd One Out)

1.

• b) sanitize, c) clean, d) bleach are actions related to cleaning or hygiene. a) utensil is an object, not an action. A fitting word could be "wash" (another cleaning action).

• b) instinct, c) feeling, d) hunch are related to thoughts or intuitions. a) buffet is a type of meal or a piece of furniture, not related to thoughts. A fitting word could be "intuition" (similar to the group).
