Discussion
The sub-disciplines of Philosophy are given below. Identify the odd item from the following :
Answer: D
The keyed odd item is Ideograms. The stem as printed speaks of sub-disciplines, and the first two items, Epigraphy (the study of inscriptions) and Paleography (the study of ancient handwriting and scripts), are fields of study. Logographic is a descriptive term for a type of writing system in which a sign stands for a word or morpheme.
Ideograms are individual signs that depict an idea, the units of such a system rather than a discipline, so the official key treats this as the item that does not belong with the others. The printed stem is loosely worded, so this is an answer reached by elimination from the official key and the question is best learned as a classification of terms: Epigraphy and Paleography name areas of study; Logographic and Ideograms belong to the vocabulary of writing systems.
