Which word in each series is the odd one out, and why? You may find different answers from mine for perfectly good reasons. Some are straightforward, others a little sneaky and some a bit fiendish. -1. phlegm, cribbage, delivery, penchant, hearing -2. sale, crew, present, time, love (hint: they came two by two) -3. bonnet, gangster, cover, scrap -4. lion, wolf, goat, bull -5. O, H, E, C, N -6. Greece, France, Austria, China, Nigeria -7. issue, evolve, age, out, egress -8. route, write, towed, squire, troupe -9. green, yellow, orange, purple, pink -10. sapphire, diamond, ruby, topaz, emerald -11. Alabama, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Georgia -12. copper, iron, tin, bronze, lead -13. Peter, Mike, Charlie, Oscar -14. first, cost, dusty, abet, flux -15. bow, arrow, wind, tear, lead -16. siege, muster, murder, trample, skulk -17. day, planet, wood, temple, fox -18. bound, fix, dust, left, pain -19. won, ate, but, for, too -20. tone, ram, who, salt, pow

19. ate (add t to others for a word) wont, butt, fort, toot
Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

2 could be sale on the basis that all the others can be both verb and noun, although at an easier level present is the only one with more than one syllable.
