Question and options
Directions: Three of the words will be in the same classification, the remaining one will not be. Your answer will be the one word that does NOT belong in the same classification as the others.
Which word does NOT belong with the others?
- Noun
- Preposition
- Punctuation
- Adverb
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Punctuation
Noun, preposition and adverb are all parts of speech, the classes into which words are grouped by their function in a sentence. Punctuation is the system of marks such as commas and full stops used in writing, not a class of words, so it is the odd one out.
