The odd one is Novel.

Answer 2

The odd one out of drama, story, poem and novel is novel. The reasons are stated below:

• A novel is a long narrative in prose whereas drama, story and poem are short in length.
• This can be better understood using examples. For example, Eugene Ionesco's Rhinoceros is an example of modern European drama. It is around 100 pages long.
• T.S.Eliot's "The Love Songs of J. Alfred Prufrock" is a poem. It is around 2-3 pages.
• Premchand's "Kafan" is a short story. And it is around 5-7 pages long.
• Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go is a novel and it is around 250-280 pages long.
• Hence, because of the length, the novel can be the odd one out of the given options.
