Find the odd set of words :

  • A.Big, Bigger, Biggest
  • B.Thin, Thinner, Thinnest
  • C.Great, Greater, Greatest
  • D.Please, Pleasing, Pleasing

Answer: D

The odd set is Please, Pleasing, Pleasing.

Each of the other sets gives the three degrees of comparison of an adjective: positive, comparative and superlative, as in big, bigger, biggest; thin, thinner, thinnest; great, greater, greatest.

Please is a verb, and pleasing is its participle or an adjective formed from it; the set repeats pleasing and has no comparative or superlative. It therefore does not follow the pattern of the other three.
