Question

Choose the odd one out from the given group of words:
Accord, Allow, Deny, Concede, Grant, Yield

• A. Deny
• B. Yield
• C. Allow
• D. Concede

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

'Deny' means 'refuse to give (something requested or desired) to (someone).

'Accord' means 'give or grant someone (power, status, or recognition). 'Allow' means 'let (someone) have or do something'. 'Concede' means 'admit or agree that something is true after first denying or resisting it'. 'Grant' means 'agree to give or allow (something requested)'. 'Yield' means 'to agree' or 'stop resisting'.

As can be seen above, the words, 'accord, 'allow', 'concede', 'grant' and 'yield' have similar meanings of giving or agreeing to or allowing something. However, the meaning of the word, 'deny' is different and means 'refusing to allow something' or 'refusing to give something'. Hence, option A is the correct answer and the other options are incorrect.
