Which of the following is not another name for the eggplant?

  • Brinjal
  • Potimarron
  • Guinea Squash
  • Melongene
Explanation

Potimarron is not another name for the eggplant because Potimarron refers to a type of winter squash, commonly known as red kuri squash. Unlike the eggplant, which belongs to the nightshade family, potimarron is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family. It is characterized by its round, reddish-orange skin and sweet, nutty flavor. Therefore, Potimarron is not used as an alternate name for the eggplant.
