A, B & C are types of breads.

D is a form or shape of bread.

Why not 'D' ? A, B, C are related with rye (a wheat-like cereal plant, not wheat) but option D is the sliced bread (not necessarily made of rye).

Hello @Teph. Can you please help me. How we come to know which word is right and which one is wrong?

Loaf must be the right choice.

Is this designed to be a trick question? Someone who decided the.

At Rye is not a bread type, has not done a thorough study and lacks knowledge of bread types. Rye is a bread type made from the Rye grain. It is common bread type in USA and Canada, which originated in Europe. Which means 'Loaf' should be the correct answer.

And to know, that these tests are provided to employers for testing potential employees for much needed jobs. This makes the majority of applicants walking away thinking they have no reasoning skills. The designers of these tests lack even more reasoning skills. This is very low.

As previously stated. Rye is also a type of bread.

A loaf, on the other hand is a description of a shape of bread and would be the odd one out in the series.
