She.
#2.
(a) “Ours is a high and lonely destiny.”
(b) Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy.
(c) “You will find writing on a stone in that ruined city, and you must do what the writing tells you.”
(d) “He’s not a tame lion.”
Hm. If a could be "Narnia and the North!", then would a-c be considered road maps to their stories? Outlines of a sort? MN's plot comes from the high and lonely destiny of Andrew (and then Jadis), Narnia and the North is the whole point of HHB's journey, b is what the story is about, and c is a plot point and the one that goes totally wrong and leads them to the climax...?
#7.
(a) A cab-horse (TMN ch 12)
(b) A mountain with two peaks (HHB ch 15)
(c) A rose bush (PC ch 14)
(d) A golden statue (VDT ch 8)
The odd one out is the cab-horse. All the others had been something else before. Mount Pyre (b) had been a giant. A rose bush (c) was the desk of Ms. Prizzle (Gwendolyn's teacher), and a golden statue was supposed to be the remains of one of the lords who was turned into gold by the pool of water.
Although the cab-horse grew wings, he did not change his physical nature like the other three.

The meal wasn't exactly cannibalistic, and that wouldn't explain the connection of the other three. Have you identified who was faced with each of the meals?

Animus Wyrmis said:She.
Oops, sorry!That would be a little vague. It is about repeated phrases, so the odd one out is the one that isn't repeated (but to completely solve it you need to identify why I included it as the odd one from the myriad of phrases I could have chosen!)
Same answer as to AW.BarbarianKing said:

Correct! (b), (c) and (d) had been turned into that form from something else; (a) was itself changed into another form.
Is that your third one? I think that makes you odd-one-out champion for the moment!

Edmund has eaten all of the dishes except the last one, which his cousin Eustace ate. That would make "Vension" the odd one.

All except "Once there were..." is repeated in the CoN. But the phrase "Once" is repeated in so many other fairy tailes as the first word. So "Once there were..." is the odd one!

They all had a kind of mission, Aslans was to get back to narnia and defeat the witch, The Knight had to save little shasta (cor), Bree had to reach the Northern lands, Reep had to reach the end of the world. I guess the Knight is the odd one, because his mission aslan told Cor (the audience), but the other ones are "Seen" by the reader.

(a), (b) and (d) are all spoken in Cair Paravel (the island). C. is the odd one because it only refers to Paravel.

All the people above are only mentioned. Ilgamuth was mentioned in "The battle of anvard", Queen swanwhite was mentioned by Jewel, And the daughter was mentioned on the Dawn Treader. None of those above are "seen". Rilian wasn't either "seen" because he was behind the black armor. he was therefore only mentioned. Rilian is the odd one because he was "seen" but the reader didn't knew it was him.

Correct! The connection is that all the statements are by people wishing they were elsewhere. (a), (b) and (d) are spoken at Cair Paravel, while (c) is spoken by someone wishing they were at Cair Paravel.
This is actually true - well spotted - so I suppose I could call it a correct answer, but I hadn't noticed that and it wasn't what I had in mind. I'm looking for something that more obviously connects the odd one with the other three.
For the answer I am looking for, the odd one odd could be substituted for the fruit on the trees in the New Narnia (TLB ch 13). I could also have included the fruit from the tree of youth in TMN ch 13 as one of the non-odd clues.
No. (b) is the opening line to both LWW and PC.
Not really specific enough. I thought this one would be really easy. What does Aslan do in LWW ch 14 and why? See if you can see a connection with any of the others.

I like the reasoning, but no. Again, it wouldn't be specific enough. This should be easy enough to find the connection, because three of the characters we know hardly anything about. List all the things we know about them, and the connection should become clear!

They are all said more than once. The odd one is (c) because all of them are refering to one (or more) persons but (c) is refering to a place (the ruined city)

They all offered themselves. Aslans offered him to Edmund, the Knight for shasta to survive, Reeps offered himselves to save the three sleeping knights. Bree is the odd one, because when aslan chased him he didn't offered himself to save aravis, instead Shasta did so.

Swanwhite was known for her beauty, meanwhile the daughter was very ugly. And Rilian had no appearence because he was behind the armor (or that he didn't look to well when he was enchanted). So Ilgamuth is the odd one because he has nothing to do with appearence.

they had never eaten the dishes before; The Pevensies had never eaten the dryads, loads of clay, Lucy and Edmund had never eaten such a great dinner at worlds end, Shasta had never eaten calormene food for the rich, because he was poor and grew up with a fisher with not so much money and Jill and eustace had never eaten the vension at Harfang. I guess the loads of Clay are the odd because that was the only one they didn't eat, but just saw. But i don't understand how you could change the trees of new narnia because they had never eaten the fruites but they ate it. Am I close though? :O

Unless I've missed it, I'm pretty sure that one of them is not repeated. (a) and (b), we have established, are repeated, so which of the other two is it?
Correct. They all gave up their lives to save someone else, except Bree who abandoned the others in order to save himself.
You have the right connection (appearance), but not the right answer.
No, you're not really close. The loam was eaten. I confess, this one is slightly obscure. I'm not sure what further clue I can give without giving the answer away. It's about their attitude to the meal - maybe that will help.
By the way, I've added another five new ones. I'm running out of these now - I'll have to think up some more.

tame lion is repetead, so i guess that (c) is the odd one because it is only mentioned once?
