• A. even
• B. simple
• C. strange
• D. familiar

Hint:

The word odd can have two common meanings:
• Not divisible by 2 (mathematics).
• Strange or unusual (general English). Always determine the meaning from the sentence context.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The meaning of a word often depends on the context in which it is used. The word odd has multiple meanings in English.

Step 1: Understand the context. The sentence says: There was something odd about her behaviour. Here, the discussion is about behaviour, not mathematics.

Step 2: Identify the meaning of "odd". In everyday language, odd means:
• unusual
• strange
• unexpected
• peculiar

Step 3: Examine the options.
• Even: Opposite of odd in mathematics.
• Simple: Easy or uncomplicated.
• Strange: Unusual or difficult to understand.
• Familiar: Well known or recognized. The word that best matches the meaning of odd is strange. Thus, \[ \boxed{\text{Strange}} \]
