About this MCQ
This Medium Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which of the following does not belong with the others: Hospital, Doctor, Engineer, Teacher?”
The accepted answer is C. Hospital. Hospital is the person, body, or term that satisfies “Which of the following does not belong with the others: Hospital, Doctor, Engineer, Teacher” (option C). Option A (“Doctor”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Hospital. Option B (“Engineer”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Hospital. Remaining alternatives (Teacher) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Hospital is identified.
