Multiple-choice catchall

Answer:

OTHER

Hint:

Think of the option you pick when none of the main choices quite fit—it’s often the last one listed.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the phrase "none of the above," a common option in multiple-choice questions when the correct answer isn’t listed. "OTHER" serves as a catchall term for anything outside the given choices, making it a perfect fit. The word "catchall" hints at its role as a general, all-encompassing option. It’s a straightforward definition with a nod to how the word functions in everyday tests and surveys.
