Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Concept: In classification (odd-one-out) reasoning, the given words are grouped by one shared property; the word that lacks that shared property is the one that is different from the others.

Application:

  1. Box refers to a container that has sides on every face and is used to hold or transport objects, so it is fully enclosed.

  2. Room refers to a section of a building bounded by walls, a floor, and a ceiling, so it is also a fully enclosed indoor space.

  3. Hall refers to a large room (or a connecting passage) within a building, so it is likewise a fully enclosed indoor space.

  4. Field refers to a stretch of open land with no walls and no roof, so it is not an enclosed space.

Cross-check: Grouping the four words by "enclosed vs. not enclosed" places Box, Room, and Hall in one group, leaving Field as the only word without an enclosing boundary — an independent check of the same grouping.

Result: Field is the word that is different from the others.
