cabin
villacabinlog
Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Test the meaning of every anchor, then compare a tempting alternative
- A cabin and a villa are kinds of dwelling; log cabin is an established phrase. The second clue turns a broad housing category into a more specific construction type.
- Compare “mansion” with “cabin”: It is a strong villa association, but 'log cabin' is the more established construction phrase.
