Which one of the four sentences does not fit into the major theme of the paragraph?

Options

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Answer

D

Explanation

The four sentences are:
1. The word mentor is usually applied to the one who moulds a young, naive person into a force within a field.
2. It is important throughout our careers and not just at the start as a good mentor can help one to navigate one’s career successfully.
3. A common perception when seeking a mentor in that area is that we should do it when we are new to a profession but that may not be when we meet them the most.
4. In reality, that’s not always the dynamic or the demographic, of the mentor-mentee relationship, as capable grownups need guidance too, especially at the workplace.
Sentence 1, 2 and 3 talks about role and function of a mentor in an individual’s career. It also mentions where can or cannot find a mentor.
However, statement 4 is a comment of the mentor-mentee relationship. Thus, it deviates from the functions of the mentor to the relationship shared between mentor and mentee and how even grownups need guidance. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
