Question

Find the ODD one out from the group of words which are related in some way or the other.

• A. din
• B. cacophony
• C. racket
• D. cadence

Hint:

Three words mean loud, unpleasant noise. One means a pleasant rhythmic flow of sound.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This is a classification question: three of the four words share a common meaning and one does not belong.

Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
Define each word in plain terms and sort them into groups by meaning, loud and unpleasant sound versus something else.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Din means a loud, continuous, unpleasant noise.
Cacophony means a harsh, jarring mixture of sounds.
Racket, in this sense, means a loud and disturbing noise.
Cadence means the rhythmic flow or rise and fall of sound, most often used about music or speech, and it is neutral to pleasant in tone, not a description of unwanted noise at all.
Din, cacophony and racket all sit in the same group: loud, unpleasant sound. Cadence sits in a different group entirely: ordered, rhythmic sound.

Step 4: Final Answer:
Since cadence does not describe loud, unpleasant noise the way the other three words do, it is the odd one out. \[ \boxed{\text{Cadence, option D}} \]
