Which word is different from the others?

Which word is different from the others?

• A. Tomato
• B. Watermelon
• C. Orange
• D. Celery

Answer: (D)

This item tests whether you can group foods by what part of the plant they come from. The three words—tomato, watermelon, and orange—are all fruits in the botanical sense: they develop from the flowering part of the plant and contain seeds. Celery, however, is a stalk vegetable; it’s the edible stem, not a fruit. So celery is the odd one out because it’s not a fruit. (Note: tomato is often treated as a vegetable in cooking, but botanically it is a fruit, which keeps the three common fruits together in this context.)
