Pick the odd one out | S.Vijayalakshmi | Live - Free Printable

Let’s go through each row one by one and find the item that doesn’t belong — the “odd one out.”

---

Row 1:
- Watermelon (fruit)
- Grapes (fruit)
- Carrot (vegetable)
- Banana (fruit)

→ Three are fruits, one is a vegetable.
✔ Odd one out: Carrot

---

Row 2:
- Broccoli (vegetable)
- Apple (fruit)
- Cabbage (vegetable)
- Carrot (vegetable)

→ Three are vegetables, one is a fruit.
✔ Odd one out: Apple

---

Row 3:
- Sandwich (savory food)
- Lollipop (sweet candy)
- Chocolate bar (sweet candy)
- Wrapped candy (sweet candy)

→ Three are sweets/candy, one is a savory meal item.
✔ Odd one out: Sandwich

---

Row 4:
- Hot dog (fast food / savory)
- Hamburger (fast food / savory)
- Bowl of noodles (meal / savory)
- Cheese slice (dairy product / not a full meal)

Wait — let’s think again.

Actually, hot dog, hamburger, and noodles are all complete meals or main dishes you eat for lunch/dinner. Cheese is usually an ingredient or snack, not a full dish on its own.

But another way: maybe cheese is the only one that isn’t typically served as a “main course” in this group? Or perhaps it’s the only one that’s not usually eaten with hands? Hmm.

Alternatively — look at shape or type:

Hot dog, hamburger, noodles — all are commonly considered “junk food” or fast food items. Cheese can be part of them, but alone it’s more of a dairy product.

Actually, let’s try grouping by category:

- Hot dog → meat-based fast food
- Hamburger → meat-based fast food
- Noodles → carb-based meal
- Cheese → dairy

Hmm… maybe cheese is the odd one because it’s not a prepared dish? But noodles are also just a base.

Wait — here’s a better idea:

Look at how they’re usually eaten:

- Hot dog → in a bun, handheld
- Hamburger → in a bun, handheld
- Noodles → eaten with fork/spoon from bowl
- Cheese → often sliced, eaten alone or melted

Still messy.

Alternative approach: Maybe three are “complete meals” and cheese is not?

Or — think about what kids usually consider “lunchbox foods”:

All four could be in a lunchbox... but cheese is the only one that’s not a “dish” — it’s an ingredient.

Actually, let’s check Row 5 first to see if there’s a pattern.

---

Row 5:
- Strawberry (fruit)
- Apple (fruit)
- Grapes (fruit)
- Cherries (fruit)

→ All are fruits! So which one is different?

Wait — strawberries have seeds on the outside. Apples have core inside. Grapes grow in clusters. Cherries come in pairs sometimes.

But actually — cherries are the only ones that usually come with stems attached in pictures? Not helpful.

Another idea: color?

Strawberry = red
Apple = red
Grapes = purple
Cherries = red

→ Grapes are purple, others are red. That might be it!

But wait — grapes can be green too, but in the picture they’re purple.

So maybe grapes are the odd one out because of color?

But let’s go back to Row 4.

In Row 4, perhaps the odd one is cheese, because it’s the only one that is not typically considered a “main dish” or “meal” — while hot dog, burger, and noodles are all things you’d eat as a full meal.

Yes — that makes sense.

So:

✔ Row 4 odd one out: Cheese

And Row 5:

All are fruits — but cherries are the only ones that are usually shown in pairs (two together), while others are single units? Or maybe strawberries are the only ones with visible seeds on outside?

Actually — let’s think simply:

Strawberry, apple, grapes — all can be eaten whole or in pieces.

Cherries — often eaten with pit, and usually two together.

But maybe the real difference is: strawberry, apple, grapes — all can be found in many colors/varieties, but cherries are almost always red? Not strong.

Wait — here’s a better idea:

In terms of botanical classification:

- Strawberry: aggregate fruit
- Apple: pome
- Grapes: berry
- Cherries: drupe

Too advanced.

For a child-level task, likely the odd one is based on something visual or common knowledge.

Looking again:

In Row 5, all are red except grapes (purple). So grapes are odd.

But in Row 1, carrot was odd because it’s veg among fruits.

In Row 2, apple was odd because it’s fruit among veggies.

In Row 3, sandwich was odd because it’s savory among sweets.

In Row 4, cheese is odd because it’s not a full meal among meals.

In Row 5 — if we follow same logic, all are fruits, so need another category.

Perhaps: strawberry, apple, cherries — all have pits or cores? No, strawberries don’t have pits.

Grapes have seeds inside, but so do apples.

Actually — cherries are the only ones that are small and round and often sold in bunches of two? Still weak.

Wait — maybe it’s about how they grow:

- Strawberries: on low plants
- Apples: on trees
- Grapes: on vines
- Cherries: on trees

Not helpful.

Another thought: in some worksheets, they consider "cherries" as the odd one because they are the only ones that are typically depicted as two together (a pair), while others are single items.

Looking at the image description (even though I shouldn't describe it, I’m using logic):

In Row 5, the cherries are shown as two connected by stems — while strawberry, apple, grapes are shown as single units (grapes are a cluster, but still one group).

But grapes are multiple berries — so maybe grapes are the odd one because they are a cluster?

I think for consistency, since in other rows the odd one is clearly different category, here all are fruits — so perhaps the odd one is grapes because they are the only ones that are not typically eaten one at a time? Or because they are purple?

Actually, let’s assume the intended answer is grapes because they are purple while others are red — that’s simple and visual.

But wait — in Row 1, banana is yellow, watermelon red, grapes purple, carrot orange — no color pattern.

Perhaps in Row 5, the odd one is strawberry because it’s the only one with seeds on the outside? That’s a common fact taught to kids.

Yes! That’s likely it.

Kids learn: “Strawberries have seeds on the outside, most other fruits have seeds inside.”

So:

- Strawberry: seeds outside
- Apple: seeds inside core
- Grapes: seeds inside (or seedless, but still internal)
- Cherries: seed (pit) inside

✔ So odd one out: Strawberry

That fits educational level.

So final decisions:

Row 1: Carrot (veg among fruits)
Row 2: Apple (fruit among veggies)
Row 3: Sandwich (savory among sweets)
Row 4: Cheese (not a full meal among meals)
Row 5: Strawberry (seeds on outside vs inside)

Now, to confirm Row 4: Is cheese really the odd one? Let’s double-check.

Hot dog, hamburger, noodles — all are dishes you order at a restaurant or make as a meal. Cheese is an ingredient. Even if you eat a slice of cheese, it’s not typically called a “meal” like the others. Yes, that works.

Some might argue noodles are not “fast food”, but in context, it’s grouped with hot dog and burger as common lunch items.

So I think it’s correct.

Final Answer:

1. Carrot
2. Apple
3. Sandwich
4. Cheese
5. Strawberry
