It's a distractor — a spare that matches nothing, to catch you out.

Answer
Lis les deux listes → Les sûrs d'abord → Élimine → Relie le reste → Vérifie (none reused, the spare is left over).
Question
Should you match in order, top to bottom?
Answer
No — do the matches you're sure of first; each one removes an option.
Question
Should you match because two items share one word?
Answer
No — match on the meaning of the whole statement, not a single shared word.
Question
What if you've used the same option for two items?
Answer
One of those matches is wrong — each option is used only once.
