Which word does not belong with the others?

One
Three
Fourth
Nine

The correct answer is: Fourth

The word "Fourth" does not belong with the others because it represents an ordinal number, which indicates position or order (like first, second, third, fourth), while the other choices represent cardinal numbers that indicate quantity (one, three, and nine). Cardinal numbers answer the question "how many?" and are used to count. In contrast, ordinal numbers answer the question "in what position?" and describe a rank or sequence. This distinction makes "Fourth" stand out from the rest of the terms in the list.
