Which word does NOT belong with the others? tape, twine, cord, yarn

Given data

• Word list: tape, twine, cord, yarn.

Concept/Approach
Compare form and typical use. Three are fibrous strands used for tying/weaving; one is a flat strip, often adhesive.

Step-by-Step reasoning
Twine – small-diameter strand (fibrous). Cord – thicker strand/rope (fibrous). Yarn – spun fibers used in knitting/weaving. Tape – flat strip (often adhesive or fabric), not a round strand.

Verification/Alternative
Cross-compare physical shape: circular cross-section (twine/cord/yarn) vs. flat (tape).

Common pitfalls

• Choosing 'yarn' only because it is for knitting; it is still a strand like twine/cord.

Final Answer
tape
