Spotlight 6 Extensive Reading 9 ex.2 p. 93 1. Odd one out. Write the category:

Solution:

• 1. rice - cereal - cheese - bread: The category is Grains. Rice and cereal are grains. Cheese and bread are dairy and grain products respectively, making them the odd ones out if the category is strictly grains. However, if the category is 'foods made from plants', then cheese is the odd one out. Given the options, 'Grains' is the most plausible category to exclude rice and cereal.
• 2. chicken - milk - yoghurt - cheese: The category is Meat/Poultry. Chicken is meat, while milk, yoghurt, and cheese are dairy products.
• 3. vitamin C - potassium - calcium - spoonful: The category is Nutrients. Vitamin C, potassium, and calcium are essential nutrients. A spoonful is a unit of measurement.
• 4. eggs - oil - nuts - fish: The category is Protein Sources. Eggs and fish are primary protein sources. Nuts are also good protein sources, but oil is primarily a fat. If the category is 'animal products', then oil and nuts are the odd ones out. If the category is 'food groups', then oil is usually considered a fat. Given the options, 'Protein Sources' makes eggs and fish fit, leaving oil as the odd one out.
• 5. onion - potato - fatty - cabbage: The category is Vegetables. Onion, potato, and cabbage are vegetables. 'Fatty' describes a characteristic and is not a food item in the same category.
