Odd One Out Vocabulary Practice
Choose one item that does not belong with the others — and explain why.

Choose a topic
Try an interactive quiz, then discuss and justify your answer.
Why practise odd one out?
These exercises are taken from Ted Power's Extend Your Discussion, where they appear in book form. They work well with upper-intermediate to advanced learners, especially when the choices and reasons are discussed in pairs or small groups.
The activity helps learners define and activate vocabulary associated with a topic — useful preparation for confident discussion.
