Task 1 Choose the odd word out: 1. bank baker's vase library 2. fireplace - sofa - armchair - bathtub 3. newsagent's - toy shop - supermarket - aspirin 4. spring - May - autumn - winter 5. first two-ninth - sixth

Task 1: Odd word out

• 1. library (bank, baker's, vase are usually man-made objects/places, library is a place for books)
• 2. armchair (fireplace, sofa, bathtub are usually fixed to a room or building; armchair is a piece of furniture, but also could be considered odd as it's the only one that's specifically a chair for one person in a seating context, the others are more general or functional)
• 3. aspirin (newsagent's, toy shop, supermarket are places of business; aspirin is a medicine)
• 4. May (spring, autumn, winter are seasons; May is a month)
• 5. first (two, ninth, sixth are ordinal numbers indicating position or quantity; 'first' is also an ordinal number, but in this context, it might be considered the odd one out if the sequence implies a progression and 'first' is the start. However, without further context, all are ordinal numbers.)

Ответ: 1. library, 2. armchair, 3. aspirin, 4. May, 5. first
