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
-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, squire, troupe, towed
-9. green, yellow, orange, purple, pink
-10. sapphire, diamond, ruby, topaz, emerald
