  • A, B and D only
  • A, B, C and D
  • A, C and D only
  • A, B and C only
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Find the odd one out:
Three of the listed terms sound like ordinary talents, but one sounds like a part of a process. Componential describes a component of thinking. This hints at a different theory.

Step 2: Place componential in its theory:
Componential, experiential and contextual are the three parts of Sternberg's triarchic theory. Componential is the analytical part, the ability to analyse and compare. So C does not belong to Gardner's list.

Step 3: Confirm the others belong to Gardner:
Musical, spatial and logical-mathematical are all named among Gardner's intelligences. So A, B and D belong.

Step 4: Remove options containing C:
Options 2, 3 and 4 all contain C. Since C is not in Gardner's list, all three are wrong.

Step 5: Check what remains:
Only option 1 lacks C. It lists A, B and D, which are all correct and complete for this question.

Step 6: Test each option by elimination again:
Option 2 lists all four, so it wrongly keeps componential. Option 3 keeps componential and drops spatial, which is doubly wrong because spatial is a true Gardner type. Option 4 also keeps componential and drops logical-mathematical, which is a true Gardner type. Only option 1 is free from both errors.

Step 7: Conclude:
So the answer is option 1.

Final Answer:
Option 1 is correct. \[ \boxed{\text{1}} \]
