What is the differing word in the following set?

Solemn
Grave
Mirthless
Archaic

The correct answer is: Archaic

The differing word in the set is "archaic" because it relates to something that is outdated or no longer in common use, often referring to language or customs from an earlier period. In contrast, the other words—"solemn," "grave," and "mirthless"—all convey a sense of seriousness or lack of joy. They describe mood or emotional states that pertain to gravity or somberness, while "archaic" focuses on the temporal aspect, indicating something that belongs to a past era rather than the current emotional tone. This distinction makes "archaic" the outlier in this grouping.
