Question

which of the following does not belong?

a staple, feisty
b enter, invent
c feedback, coffee
d airport, unfair
e intent, misprint

Explanation:

Analyze word pairs for anagram patterns

  • Pair A: "staple" (s-t-a-p-l-e) and "feisty" (f-e-i-s-t-y) -> No obvious letter overlap pattern.
  • Pair B: "enter" (e-n-t-e-r) and "invent" (i-n-v-e-n-t) -> No direct anagram relationship.
  • Pair C: "feedback" (f-e-e-d-b-a-c-k) and "coffee" (c-o-f-f-e-e) -> No direct anagram relationship.
  • Pair D: "airport" (a-i-r-p-o-r-t) and "unfair" (u-n-f-a-i-r) -> No direct anagram relationship.
  • Pair E: "intent" (i-n-t-e-n-t) and "misprint" (m-i-s-p-r-i-n-t) -> No direct anagram relationship.

Analyze letter containment and substring patterns

  • Pair A: "staple" and "feisty" share "s", "t", "e".
  • Pair B: "enter" and "invent" -> "enter" is an anagram of "re-net".
  • Let's look at the letters of the first word hidden inside or forming the second word, or vice versa.
  • Let's count letters or look at anagrams of sub-words:
  • "staple" contains "petal", "plate", "leaps", "peals", "pales", "slated"? No.
  • Let's look at the letters of "enter" (e, n, t, e, r) and "invent" (i, n, v, e, n, t).
  • Let's look at "intent" (i, n, t, e, n, t) and "misprint" (m, i, s, p, r, i, n, t).
  • Let's look at "airport" (a, i, r, p, o, r, t) and "unfair" (u, n, f, a, i, r).
  • Let's look at "feedback" (f, e, e, d, b, a, c, k) and "coffee" (c, o, f, f, e, e).

Analyze shared letter patterns (overlapping letters)

  • Let's check if one word can be formed by changing/adding letters, or if they share a specific set of letters:
  • A: staple (6) / feisty (6) -> Shared: {e, s, t, i? No, no i in staple}. Shared letters: e, s, t (3 letters).
  • B: enter (5) / invent (6) -> Shared: {e, n, t, r? No r in invent}. Shared letters: e, n, t (3 letters).
  • C: feedback (8) / coffee (6) -> Shared: {e, f, c, b? No b in coffee}. Shared letters: c, e, f (3 letters).
  • D: airport (7) / unfair (6) -> Shared: {a, i, r}. Shared letters: a, i, r (3 letters).
  • E: intent (6) / misprint (8) -> Shared: {i, n, t}. Shared letters: i, n, t (3 letters).

Let's look at another pattern:

  • A: "staple" -> anagram of "petals", "plates", "pleats", "pastel". "feisty" -> anagram of "yeti's"?
  • B: "enter" -> "re-net". "invent" -> "un-tin"?
  • Look at the letters:
  • staple / feisty: s, t, a, p, l, e / f, e, i, s, t, y.
  • enter / invent: e, n, t, e, r / i, n, v, e, n, t.
  • feedback / coffee: f, e, e, d, b, a, c, k / c, o, f, f, e, e.
  • airport / unfair: a, i, r, p, o, r, t / u, n, f, a, i, r.
  • intent / misprint: i, n, t, e, n, t / m, i, s, p, r, i, n, t.

Let's look at the letters of the second word that can be found in the first word:

  • A: feisty -> s, t, e are in staple. (3 letters: s, t, e)
  • B: invent -> i, n, v, e, n, t. e, n, t are in enter. (3 unique letters: e, n, t)
  • C: coffee -> c, o, f, f, e, e. c, f, e are in feedback. (3 unique letters: c, e, f)
  • D: unfair -> u, n, f, a, i, r. a, i, r are in airport. (3 unique letters: a, i, r)
  • E: misprint -> m, i, s, p, r, i, n, t. i, n, t, p, r are in... wait!
  • Letters of "misprint" in "intent": i, n, t (3 letters).
  • Letters of "intent" in "misprint": i, n, t (3 letters).
  • Wait, "misprint" con…

Answer:

  • (A) staple, feisty (Correct answer)
  • (B) enter, invent
  • (C) feedback, coffee
  • (D) airport, unfair
  • (E) intent, misprint
