C. They are the equivalent of gesticulating to add emphasis.

D. While they convey a writer's intentions, emoji are not a language in themselves.

1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D

Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT Question from Sentence Elimination:

Option A states that emoji help us "write" gestures. Option C mentions "gesticulating": it states that emoji are the equivalent of making gestures to add emphasis. AC is a link.

Now, options B and D are clearly at odds with each other. While option B refers to emoji as the "lingua franca" (common language) of the world, D states that emoji are "not a language in themselves".

The sentence group AC only states that emoji help in communication by adding emphasis. In other words, they add to written language rather than replace it. Option D takes forward the idea in A and C.

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

Hence, the answer is Sentence B

Choice B is the correct answer.
