Which word does NOT belong with the others? inch, ounce, centimeter, yard

Given data

• Word list: inch, ounce, centimeter, yard.

Concept/Approach
Group each term by the physical quantity it measures (length vs. mass/weight). Three measure distance; one measures weight.

Step-by-Step reasoning
Inch – unit of length (Imperial/US customary). Centimeter – unit of length (SI/metric). Yard – unit of length (Imperial/US customary). Ounce – unit of mass/weight (avoirdupois; also fluid ounce for volume, but not length).

Verification/Alternative
Convert examples to confirm: 1 inch = 2.54 cm; 1 yard = 36 inches. No such length conversion exists for ounce because it is not a length unit.

Common pitfalls

• Confusing fluid ounces (volume) or ounces (weight) with any length measure.
• Assuming all four are from the same system; they span Imperial and metric but three still measure the same quantity.

Final Answer
ounce
