Question
With your partner, decide which is the odd one out in each group. Explain your decisions.
Answer
- belt (the other things are jewellery; note that a chain differs from a necklace in that it has no pendant or jewel hanging from it – men can wear a chain, but only women wear necklaces)
- skirt (the others are all ‘tops’ – above the waist)
- earrings (they are a type of jewellery, while the others are all clothes; they are also all ‘bottoms’ – worn below the waist; leggings are tight-fitting clothes worn on the legs)
- slippers (they are worn in the house, while the others are worn outside; high heels are worn by women (usually) whereas the others can be worn by men or women)
- T-shirt (the others are winter clothes)
- scruffy (which means untidy or badly-dressed; the others are essentially positive things to say about clothes)
- tight (the others describe patterns or designs – or the lack of them in the case of ‘plain’; tight is about size or fit)
