C. ROWS
Which word in a row is wrong? Give reason for your answer.
- Wrong word: BUS. Reason: Bicycle, motorcycle, and car are all wheeled vehicles used on roads. A bus is also a wheeled vehicle but is typically considered public transport and often larger. However, if the category is 'personal transport', then 'bus' could be considered wrong. If the category is 'road vehicles', all could fit. Given the context of other rows, it's likely a category mismatch is intended. Assuming the category is personal road transport, 'bus' is the outlier.
- Wrong word: SUBMARINE. Reason: Tram, trolley bus, and bus are all forms of public road or rail transport. A submarine is a vessel that travels underwater.
- Wrong word: TRUCK. Reason: Bicycle, scooter, and motorcycle are all two-wheeled vehicles. A truck is a larger, four-wheeled vehicle.
- Wrong word: HELICOPTER. Reason: Ambulance car, fire truck, and police car are all ground vehicles used for emergency services. A helicopter is an aircraft.
- Wrong word: TRAM. Reason: Plane and space shuttle are forms of air or space travel. An air balloon is also for air travel. A tram runs on rails. The 'Air Ballon' might be a typo for 'Air Balloon'. Assuming 'Air Balloon' is intended, 'Tram' is the outlier as it's rail transport.
- Wrong word: SCHOOL BUS. Reason: Taxi and ambulance car are used for transporting people for specific purposes (passengers or medical aid). A garbage van is for waste disposal. A school bus is for transporting students. If the row is meant to be 'vehicles for hire or specific services', then 'school bus' (public transport) might be the outlier. However, if the row is 'specialized vehicles', all could fit except perhaps 'taxi'. Let's consider 'garbage van' as the outlier if the focus is passenger transport. Given the other rows, 'school bus' seems to be the most distinct from 'taxi' and 'ambulance car' which are often services, and 'garbage van' which is a specialized service vehicle. Let's go with 'school bus' as it's primarily for students, and the others are more general services or goods transport. Alternatively, if the category is 'passenger transport', then 'garbage van' is wrong. Let's assume the intended category is 'vehicles providing a service', in which case 'school bus' is a specific type of public transport service. 'Garbage van' is also a service. 'Taxi' and 'Ambulance car' are services. This row is ambiguous. Let's consider the most distinct function: garbage van.
Note: The last row (Row 6) has ambiguous categorisation. If the category is 'passenger transport services', then 'Garbage van' is wrong. If the category is 'specialized vehicles', then 'School bus' could be considered wrong if the others are more individual services.
