The question contains pairs of words that are related to each other in a certain way. Three of the following four word pairs are alike as they have the same relationship and thus form a group. Which word pair does NOT belong to that group?

1. Chess - 1 player in a team
2. Polo - 4 players in a team
3. Boxing - 1 player in a team
4. Football - 10 players in a team

Correct answer: Football - 10 players in a team

Solution

Chess and boxing are individual sports, so "1 player in a team" fits the intended grouping. Polo is played with 4 players per side, which is correct. Football is played with 11 players per side, not 10, so it does not belong.
