Ache....... it's the only one with 4 letters, the rest all have 5.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Ache. It is the only word that is not an adjective.

Dizzy is an adjective, the others are verbs. You can bleed, ache and faint but you can't dizzy.
Edit - too slow, as usual.

Maybe context would help.
Is this from an English paper, or a Biology paper.

You can bleed, ache and faint, but you can't dizzy. Dizzy's my punt.
Not wishing to hi-jack the thread, but what's next in this series:
O,T,T,F,F,S,S ?
(answer is: E). This was an 'eleven-plus' question!!!!!!One two three four five etc.

Ache - Its the only one begining with a vowel.
Dizzy - cos its mechanical and you used to find them fitted on cars.
Bleed - because it could have outward manifestations (and it could be accompanied by all the others).
Feint - because its spelt wrong.
Bleed - because its out of order, the correct order is ache, dizzy, faint, bleed.

Bleed - you need to do something about it. The rest you can only wait until it passes.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Following the ambulance driver idea I'll say Bleed. The others are I suspect more important to worry about, where a bit of blood (unless
there's loads) is probably not as important immediately.

Ah, but, what if its an internal bleed, the other three could be symptoms of bleed.
