Explanation

The common characteristic among the given words is that they all relate to different senses. "Phone" is associated with hearing, as it allows us to communicate through sound. "Write" is related to touch, as it involves using our hands to create written words. "Sound" is also related to hearing, as it refers to the vibrations that travel through the air and can be perceived by our ears. "Light" is associated with sight, as it enables us to see objects. "Carry" is related to touch and proprioception, as it involves physically transporting something. Therefore, the odd one out in this group is "Sound" because it is the only word related to the sense of hearing.

Explanation

The word "carry" is the only one in the given options that is directly related to the concept of transporting or holding something.

Explanation

The periscope is an instrument that allows the captain of a submarine to see in all directions. By raising the periscope slightly, the captain can use it to scan the area and determine if the enemy ship is still present. The periscope works by using mirrors and lenses to reflect and magnify the surrounding images, providing a 360-degree view without having to expose the entire submarine.

37. Samuel Clemens wrote Tom Sawyer using a pseudonym.

Explanation

Samuel Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, wrote the novel Tom Sawyer under a different name than his own. This means that he used a pseudonym, a false name, to publish the novel. Using a pseudonym is a common practice among authors who wish to maintain anonymity or create a distinct identity for their work. In this case, Clemens chose to separate his real name from his literary persona, allowing him to establish a unique brand and style for his writing.

Submit
38. Viv

The word "Live" is the correct answer because it is the only word in the given list that is a verb. "Viv" and "To See" are not actual English words, "Stretch" is a noun, and "Lead" can be both a noun and a verb but in this context, it does not fit as the other words are all verbs.
