☆ BOOKMARK Q1

Q1 Question

In the following questions, a set of four words has been given. Three of the words are related to in some way. You have to select the word that does not fit in the relation.

  1. Break
  2. Hiatus
  3. Chasm
  4. Bridge

Q1 Answer

STEP 1: APPLY THINKING FRAMEWORK

1.Organizing Principle/Theme:
- "Break," "hiatus," and "chasm" all imply some form of gap or interruption.
- "Bridge" is the only word that implies connection or filling a gap, which is opposite in meaning.

2.Semantic Category:
- "Break," "hiatus," "chasm" = gaps/interruptions (negative space).
- "Bridge" = connection (positive space).

3.Part of Speech:
- All are nouns, so no elimination possible here.

4.Functional Domain:
- "Break," "hiatus," "chasm" can refer to abstract or physical gaps.
- "Bridge" primarily refers to a physical or metaphorical connector.

5.Multiple Meanings Check:
- "Break" (noun): fracture, pause.
- "Hiatus": pause/gap.
- "Chasm": deep gap.
- "Bridge": connector (no gap-related meaning).

6.Hypothesis Testing:
- Eliminating "bridge" leaves three words meaning "gap."
- Eliminating any other word breaks the "gap" theme.

7.Least Forced Connection:
- The "gap" theme is straightforward; no obscure links needed.

STEP 2: OPTION ELIMINATION

-A. Break: Fits (gap/interruption).
-B. Hiatus: Fits (gap/pause).
-C. Chasm: Fits (deep gap).
-D. Bridge: Does not fit (connector, not a gap).

Elimination:
- "Bridge" is the odd one out because it opposes the "gap" theme shared by the others.

STEP 3: QUICK DECISION TECHNIQUES (IF USED)

-Majority Rule: Used—three words ("break," "hiatus," "chasm") share a clear theme ("gap").
-Time-Boxing: Solved within 30 seconds due to clear semantic contrast.

STEP 4: COMMON ERRORS CHECK

- Avoided:
- Overlooking secondary meanings ("bridge" has no gap-related sense).
- Forcing obscure links (simple antonymic relationship).
- Ignoring part-of-speech uniformity (all nouns, no conflict).

STEP 5: FINAL CHECKPOINT QUESTIONS

1.Commonality Phrase: "Words meaning a gap or interruption."
2.Rejected Word Property: "Bridge" does not mean a gap under any major dictionary sense.

STEP 6: FINAL ANSWER:

D. Bridge

"Hence, the answer is 'Bridge'.

Choice 4 is the correct answer.
