    No.1 is water because it's liquid - the others are solids. But that's just a wild guess and assuming it's a hard-boiled egg.

    Number 3 is grape - it doesn't end with an 'a'
    Do you have coke?

    Number 2 must be bean because it starts with a consonant instead of a vowel.

    What was the point of this exercise?

    Or it's the only one that's not spherical?

    ---Update---

    OK .. The results of the Ajarn Think Tank

    1. lemon water fork egg (water) ... Not solid

    2. onion apple orange bean (bean) Not spherical / Doesn't start with a vowel

    3. tuna cola grape pasta (grape) Doesn't end with "a"

    1. lemon water fork egg

    Lemon, because nobody sticks a lemon in their mouth.

    2. onion apple orange bean

    Onion, because it grows beneath the ground.

    3. tuna cola grape pasta

    Grape, because it's the only one you can't get at a 7-11.

    These are the same reasons that I came up with, but that's because we already knew the correct answer.
    One could have easily chosen:
    1. fork, because it's a tool
    2. onion, because it grows underground
    3. tuna, because it's an animal

    And they would have been wrong?

    I think the "Why" is the important part of the quiz.
