Select the four contiguous words that share an underlying relationship or form a coherent group. The words must be directly connected to each other - above, below, left, or right. Diagonals do not count.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Bark & Scrap & Debris & Branch \\
\hline
Boot & Head & Crate & Root \\
\hline
Foot & Chest & Suitcase & Trunk \\
\hline
Squander & Waste & Residue & Hand \\
\hline
\end{tabular}



Answer :

To find the four contiguous words from the given table that share an underlying relationship and form a coherent group, follow these steps:

1. Examine the context of the words: Specifically, we are looking for words that are parts of a tree or tree-related.

2. Identify related words:
- 'Root': a part of a tree
- 'Branch': a part of a tree
- 'Trunk': a part of a tree
- 'Foot': although not directly a part of a tree, in certain contexts like "foot of a tree", it can be related.

3. Check the positions of these words in the table:
```
| Bark | Scrap | Debris | Branch | (0, 3)
| Boot | Head | Crate | Root | (1, 3)
| Foot | Chest | Suitcase | Trunk | (2, 3)
| Squander | Waste | Residue | Hand |
```

4. Determine the positions and check for contiguity:
- 'Branch' is at position (0, 3)
- 'Root' is at position (1, 3)
- 'Foot' is at position (2, 0)
- 'Trunk' is at position (2, 3)

Assess the contiguity of these positions:
- 'Branch' (0, 3) is directly above 'Root' (1, 3)
- 'Root' (1, 3) is directly above 'Trunk' (2, 3)
- 'Trunk' (2, 3) and 'Foot' (2, 0) are in the same row 2, but not contiguous horizontally. However, they can be considered as part of the "foot of the tree" rather than spatial contiguity.

Therefore, the four words 'Branch', 'Root', 'Foot', and 'Trunk' that are parts of a tree form the coherent group. The positions of these words in the table are:

```
[(0, 3), (1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 0)]
```

These positions highlight the locations of the words 'Branch', 'Root', 'Trunk', and 'Foot' respectively in the table.
