Which word does not belong with the others?

stag
monkey
bull
ram

The correct answer is: monkey

The word that does not belong with the others is "monkey." This is because all the other words—stag, bull, and ram—refer specifically to male animals. A stag is a male deer, a bull is a male bovine, and a ram is a male sheep. In contrast, "monkey" refers to a primate and does not denote gender in the same way that the other terms do. Therefore, it stands out as the only term that does not fit the specific theme of male animals.
