Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT Question from Sentence Elimination:

Option A states that those who lack confidence in themselves "often seek confirmation" of this.

We see that option D relates to the same idea: some even go to the extent of provoking others to confirm their negative self-image.

Option C states the reason for this behaviour--the desire for "coherence".

ADC makes a cogent paragraph.

Option B talks about those who have a negative self-image wanting to "overcompensate". This does not relate to any of the other sentences.

The question is " Choose the Sentence that does not fit in "

Hence, the answer is Sentence B

Choice B is the correct answer.
