Five of the six words below have some relationship to a certain other word. However, one of them lacks any relationship with it. What is the other word, and which of the six listed words does not belong?

BECOME
BEE
CANDLE
DINE
EAR
GROW

Answers:

The word that does not belong is DINE. All of the other words relate to the word WAX in one of two ways. BECOME and GROW are synonyms (as in "to wax strong") and the other words are things that either contain, secrete, or are made of wax.
