Find the odd number / letters / word from the given alternative:

Assassinate
Kill
Murder
Kidnap

The answer is D. Kidnap.

Assassinate, kill, and murder are all words that mean to take someone’s life, while kidnap means to take someone away against their will. Kidnap is the odd word out because it is the only word that does not involve taking someone’s life.

Assassinate: to kill someone, especially a public figure, for political or religious reasons.

Kill: to cause the death of (a person or animal).

Murder: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

Kidnap: to take someone away illegally by force or fraud, typically to demand a ransom.
