I am stumped by this question that my daughter asked me. This is a verbal classification question, in case it is not clear.

> 
> Determine why the first 3 words are similar, then select the word from the available answers that is most similar to the first three words.

> First three words: platter, bowl, plate
> 
> 
> Available answers: dish, spoon, casserole, tongs, oven
>

Both my daughter and I chose "dish", but the correct answer is "casserole". Can somebody help explain why?
