Take

Bake

Fate

Tad

Now, let's look at the vowels in each of the words.

Take

Bake

Fate

Tad

All of the vowels are the letter a, but do they all sound the same? No, they do not.

Take, bake, and fate all have a long vowel sound.

Tad has a short vowel sound. Since only one of the words has a short vowel sound, that is the word that does not belong with the others.
