The Phrase Odd One Out (Posted on 2004-04-29) Difficulty: 5 of 5
Which of these phrases is the odd one out? The solution should not involve number of words/lines, letters, spaces, specific types of sentences, and all other things grammar and usage-related. Hope you know your Shakespeare.

1.) She is the white.

2.) I don't like the name Julieta. It needs to drop a letter, I think.

3.) "Is it really Jacks? I thought it was spelled differently..."

4.) Timidness is the best with locks.

5.) This Ancient Greece food staple is missing a letter.

6.) Beatrice is her name, but there's no heaven and hell here.

Bianca seems more appropriate to me.  That makes a lot of sense.  It brings us back to ambiguity, though, as there's one of those in both Othello and Taming of the Shrew.  (I'm using about.shakespeare.com as a resource for character names here.)  The thing that seems odd there is the phrasing.  Why is she "the" white?
