Let’s go step by step to find which detail does not belong in each group.

---

Question 1: “A lizard is a reptile that has many species.”

We are looking for the sentence that does not talk about different *species* of lizards or their physical traits as examples of species variety.

- “Geckos are lizards that are small but agile climbers.” → This describes a type (species) of lizard. ✔ Belongs.
- “The komodo dragon is the largest lizard in the world.” → This names a specific large lizard species. ✔ Belongs.
- “Lizards have eyelids that clean and protect their eyes.” → This talks about a general feature all lizards share, not about different species. ✘ Does NOT belong.
- “The thorny dragon is a large lizard that has spiky scales.” → Names another specific lizard species. ✔ Belongs.

→ So, the odd one out is: “Lizards have eyelids that clean and protect their eyes.”

Question 2: “Apples have many health benefits.”

We need to find the sentence that does not describe a health benefit.

- “Apples are rich in fiber.” → Health benefit. ✔
- “Apples are good source of vitamin C.” → Health benefit. ✔
- “Apples have high fiber and low calorie content.” → Health-related. ✔
- “Apples are commonly used in pies, cookies, and muffins.” → This is about how apples are used in cooking — not a health benefit. ✘ Does NOT belong.

→ Odd one out: “Apples are commonly used in pies, cookies, and muffins.”

Question 3: “Influencers play a big role in the marketing world.”

We’re looking for the sentence that does not explain how influencers help with marketing.

- “Influencers can add advertisements to their channels.” → Marketing activity. ✔
- “Influencers can use the different platforms they have to endorse things.” → Endorsing = marketing. ✔
- “Influencers get paid high amounts for each product they endorse.” → Talks about payment, not directly about their *role in marketing*. It’s more about compensation than function. ⚠️ Possibly doesn’t belong.
- “Influencers can make their followers use the products that they use.” → Shows influence on consumer behavior → key part of marketing. ✔

Wait — let’s think again. The main idea is “play a big role in the marketing world.” All sentences except one should show *how* they do that.

Getting paid is a result of their role, not the role itself. But actually, even getting paid shows they are valuable in marketing — so maybe it still fits?

But look at the others: they all describe actions influencers take that affect marketing (ads, endorsements, influencing followers). Getting paid is about what they receive, not what they do for marketing.

Actually, re-reading: “get paid high amounts” — this is about income, not about their function in marketing. The other three describe active roles in promoting products.

So yes — “Influencers get paid high amounts for each product they endorse.” is the one that doesn’t fit because it’s about money earned, not about how they contribute to marketing.

BUT — wait! Let me double-check. Is being paid part of playing a role? Not really — the role is the action, not the reward.

Alternatively, could it be that all four relate? Let’s compare:

- Add ads → direct marketing action
- Use platforms to endorse → direct marketing action
- Get paid → outcome/reward
- Make followers use products → effect/result of marketing

Hmm… actually, “make followers use products” is also an effect, not an action. But it still shows their power in marketing.

Perhaps the best choice is the one least connected to the *mechanism* of marketing.

Actually, let’s consider: if we remove “get paid,” the rest all describe how influencers actively promote or affect consumer behavior. “Get paid” is passive — it’s what happens to them, not what they do.

Yes — so the outlier is: “Influencers get paid high amounts for each product they endorse.”

Final check:

Q1: Eyelid fact → general trait, not species example → correct outlier
Q2: Pies/cookies → usage, not health → correct outlier
Q3: Get paid → compensation, not marketing action → correct outlier

All solid.

Final Answer:
1. Lizards have eyelids that clean and protect their eyes.
2. Apples are commonly used in pies, cookies, and muffins.
3. Influencers get paid high amounts for each product they endorse.
