Question:medium

Find the odd one out: Symphony, Orchestra, Guitar, Mob

Show Hint

When three options share a theme (domain like music, sports, science), the remaining non-thematic word is the outlier.
Updated On: Jul 15, 2026
  • Guitar
  • Orchestra
  • Mob
  • Symphony
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

Group by theme: Guitar (an instrument), Orchestra (a group of performers) and Symphony (a composition) are three different pieces of the same idea, music.

Check the outlier: A Mob is simply a disorganised crowd of people with no organisation, performance, or music involved at all.

Since three words connect directly to music and one does not, Mob is the odd one out.

Approach Solution -2

Another way to separate these words is to notice that three of them each describe a different facet of the same domain, music, while one belongs to a completely different domain altogether:

  1. Guitar: This word names an instrument, the physical tool used to create music. It represents the instrument facet of the music domain.
  2. Orchestra: This word names a group of performers, the people who use instruments to bring music to life together. It represents the performer facet of the music domain.
  3. Mob: This word belongs to the domain of crowd behaviour and sociology, describing an unruly gathering of people. It has no facet or role within the music domain at all.
  4. Symphony: This word names the finished musical work itself, the composed piece that instruments and performers bring to life. It represents the composition facet of the music domain.

Guitar, Orchestra, and Symphony each occupy a distinct role, instrument, performer, and composition, within the single domain of music. Mob comes from an entirely different domain and shares no role within that music triangle at all.

Therefore, the correct answer is Mob.
