    But the first three are either related to or are body parts.

    Hind leg. Fore arm. Eye.

    I read it thinking it was "warn" because warn looked like a made up word.
    I am a simpleton. Warn warn. Warn is the odd one out

    Eye

    It's the only one that's a palindrome.

    Those questions where there are a number of different ways of distinguishing any one word in the group are just...bad questions.

    Eye is also the only one that starts with a vowel. Phrased as it is, it's a ****ing stupid question.

    What.

    The answers in the question. The question mark is a decoy and the rest is just a distraction.
