Identify the odd item from the following :

  • A.David Crystal
  • B.Thomas Sebeok
  • C.Herold Goodglass
  • D.Eugeal Nida

Answer: D

Eugene Nida is the odd one: he is best known for translation theory, in particular formal and dynamic equivalence, and for Bible translation. David Crystal, Thomas Sebeok and Harold Goodglass are grouped together in the key as writers on language and communication in relation to clinical, semiotic and neurological matters (Goodglass's work on aphasia, Sebeok's on signs and animal communication, Crystal's on language disorders).

The key therefore treats the first three as a set and Nida as the exception, so option D is the answer.
