Question

In what sense was Asma the 'odd one out'?

• A. She could not swim
• B. She did not know who her parents were
• C. She took action when no-one else was willing
• D. She did not mind that the other inmates did not help her

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

She took action when no-one else was willing

We are to choose the option that correctly describes how Asma was different from the rest.

When it started raining heavily the inmates sang their daily prayer and did not take any action.

Only Asma dared to act by deciding to save the kids.

Hence she was the odd one out.

Thus option C is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because Asma not being able to swim does not really make her different from the rest.

Options B and D are also incorrect because there is no confirmation that can be derived from the passage that her not knowing her parents and the inmates not helping her make her different.

Hence options A, B, D are incorrect and option C is the correct answer.
