Q. Find the odd one out from the given alternatives.
a) Sphinx
b) Pyramids
c) Swastik
d) Mummy
Correct Answer: c) Swastik
Question from UPPSC Prelims CSAT 2025
Explanation:
Sphinx, Pyramids, and Mummy are iconic elements of ancient Egyptian civilizationโthe Great Sphinx of Giza, the pyramidal tombs, and the practice of mummification, all tied to Egyptian funerary culture. Swastik (swastika), however, is an auspicious symbol primarily associated with South Asian religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism) and various other cultures, not specifically with ancient Egypt. Hence, option 3 is the odd one out.
