Find the odd one in the following group of words.
mock, deride, praise, jeer
Answer: C
The odd word is praise.
Mock, deride and jeer all mean to ridicule or treat someone with contempt: to mock is to make fun of, to deride is to express contempt for, and to jeer is to shout rude, mocking remarks.
Praise means to express approval or admiration, the opposite of the other three, so it is the one that does not belong. Choosing any of the other three would leave praise in a group of words that it contradicts.
