Odd-One-Out
This week's competition requires Open-Mindedness and Reasoning.

I think that picture B is the odd one out this is because picture A represents the freedom of speech that Hong Kong gets but then picture C represents the democracy that Hong Kong should get but was took away by china as they interfered with the 2016 election the reason why i think B is the odd one out is because the freedom of the press has not been took away.
nice
you have linked your opinion to the Hong Kong election
Thanks I thought that they represent the freedom of speech freedom of press and democracy
That’s true
I think picture b is the odd one out because its the only one without a huge crowd of civilians
I agree with you because it really thoughtful
good point
Valid Point
that's honestly simple
I think picture b because in picture a and b they are either people who are getting ready to protest or protesting
Thank you for reading
sorry I meant a and c are the protesters
I think question b is
I AGREE
I my opinion i think picture B is the odd one out because it is the only one that doesn't show any speech as in A and C someone is either about to speak or is speaking
I agree
I think A because in the other 2 pictures you can see that both are fighting/debating about something whereas A is all about freedom
I think picture B is the odd one out because it looks like some soldiers and a camera man but the other ones are people speaking to a crowd
true enough but look at a no one is debating for democracy or so. But just because there is a camera man it doesn't make such a difference .
picture c is the odd one out because it has no crowd
I think the odd one out is picture C because the other pictures have something pointing at them
sorry i meant b
I think picture B is the odd one out because on picture B you can see the word PRESS on one of the men's tops and you can't see PRESS on any of the other tops
Personally, I think that picture C is the odd picture out. I know because in picture A there are many civilians watching you, some having cameras. The cameras may take pictures and be sent away to other people. Also, you may be vexed about if you made a good impression of yourself. Therefore, they are expecting you to be perfect when not all that glitters is gold, they don't feel sympathy for you. But, you might be a confident person, a different story lays in a different path...
In picture B, there MAY not be many citizens in person, but you don't know who will see you behind the screen... I would also like to point out that there is a man ordering the model or person to one direction or the other. This may seem that they are doing a photoshoot or something that relates to needing a beautiful or handsome person. They don't really want you for who you are, just for your appearance.
I chose picture C because people are cheering, and it's at you. You seem happy, they seem joyful and accept that you may have made but that's ok. they accept you for who YOU are. However, will pay attention and that's part of the way people act. The best strategy is to ignore it, and carry on.
Thank you for reading.
I agree with you because I was thinking the same thing and u are being open minded :)
i agree :)
In my opinion, Picture C is the odd one out.
The picture appears to be showing a discussion or vote.The person standing on the stage/podium appears to be addressing an idea, or questioning somebody else's opinion. The audience is either waiting to ask questions, or voting on an issue.
I have tried to reason my opinion as much as I can so it makes it easier to understand.
I think it is B because it is about people with guns but a and c are about people protesting or listening to other people's point of view.
I like ur thinking it very smart
I think it is picture picture b because it has military in picture b .In picture a and c there is public in the photo not military in it
I think is picture b because it shows the police were as the other 2 looks like election or a stage
I believe that picture B is the odd one out as picture A and C both have something to do with talking or using your voice. Like in picture A you talk in a microphone and in picture C there is a man talking. Also, in picture A and C there is a crowd of people watching and listening.
I think B is the odd one out
What I
What I think picture B because both of them A C have like a speech going on.
I agree with you entertaining acorn
I think picture B is the odd one out because picture A & C look like people are making speeches about something important & B looks like the press are at war.
I agree with you impartial_ shark.
I agree with you lively_coconut.
I think it is picture b because it most likely to do with war than the other two.
I think that picture B is the odd one out as, in my opinion, shows how armed police or armed government officers are getting ready to attack or ambush the people of Hong Kong as they are not having a say. Furthermore, the other photos/images are ahoing hands up or a microphone. If you think deeply into this the people who put their hands up want to have a say and the person who is going to speak on the microphone is going to speak about something and have a say
I think a because in all the other two they are watching some one and a its the opposite .
I think Picture C is the odd one out, since it is the only picture that is most likely not to have the Press involved.
I believe this, because Picture A looks like a gathering of something important with many people attending (the crowd behind the microphone), and Picture B clearly has a man with a camera, and a sort of top that says "PRESS" on it. However, there is no reason that I can find that says that Picture C should have press present. It simply looks like a staff meeting, or an open day for schools.
Furthermore, Picture B looks something to do with the army, or a war – something along those lines – because of the uniform; something press or newspaper-worthy. Picture A seems to look a bit like a festival, or somewhere that would get quite a lot of media attention because of all the people present. With Picture C, however, it looks more like something at work, because of the people with suits.
I agree, well done content_lemon that is an amazing way to put it
Thanks a lot! I tried!!
content_lemon you have lots of information and you have really thought about the Hong Kong 's are well done!
i think it is picture b because there are army men or police officers visible in that picture only
I think picture b is the odd one out because, picture c is like a conference and picture a is like some one is a bout to give a speech whereas, picture b is just a bout war and has nothing to do with a microphone or some one holding the conference. However, the conference could be about what they should do to help the people in war and some one could d give a speech about it, so in a way they are all link.
I think picture B is the odd one out because journalism has many different ways of collecting or making news for the public. The first and last pictures show peaceful environments, such as a music festival and a conference, whereas picture B is more like a war zone and a dangerous place. When you look at Picture B, you can see that he is wearing some sort of bullet-proof vest and helmet. Sometimes journalists go to dangerous places for the sake of the news and reporting the current affairs to the public. They put their lives in danger to be able to do their job best. I would know, since my mum is one.
I agree! I thought similar, but that Picture C was the odd one out. The examples I used are similar to that of yours. An excellent way to put it, I think! :)
I think C is the odd one out because in A and B it tells you that someone has a voice, but in C you listen to the person who has a voice. The message for me is that everyone has a voice to say what they feel/think ext. I love the challenge this week it is great! I hope you agree with my answer.
I think that B is the odd one out because it is not from a person perspective whereas the others are from a persons perspective, but I also think that A is the odd on out as the it's the only one which is not listening to what's being said.
I think picture B is the odd one out because A and C both resemble the freedom of letting people express their thoughts and opinions without infringing on others; however B symbolises limited speech and having the right of democracy taken away by over power and unjust laws.
I think picture B is the odd one out because in picture A they are settling matters in a civilised way through talking and in picture C they are trying to persuade them with words as well. however in picture B they are being persuaded with the use of violence. Also in pictures A and C people have the right to free speech and to say what they think. On the other hand in picture B people are trying to take over and control them.
Image B is the odd 1 out as it is the only one with someone facing the camera that isn't blurred
i think that picture A is the odd one out because its the only one thats not debating or fighting its more about freedom.
They are ALL sort of linked together I know that is not the competition but I feel it needs to be said...
They were all taken with a camera.
B is the odd one out.
In the other two images a person is delivering news and people are listening. B is the only one that is there in that moment watching and taking photos of what is happening. They are more in the front, in this dangerous place. The other photos may not have seen or experienced what is happening but know enough to share their opinion.
In either picture A or C they are sharing their knowledge with the people. Talking to them face to face and not from behind a camera. The people in A and C are able to do this and is able to share what the people need to know due to the things that people like the person in picture B is doing. Picture B is the only one not sharing anything towards a crowd but gettign the information for others.
I think that picture C is the odd one out since it seems less powerful. C seems to be the most calm out of them all.
The reason I believe B is presenting the theme of power is due to the presence of guns. The presence of a gun could suggest any level of power even if no one is using it to purposely harm others. As well as that, it is shown that the people in the picture are people of the press, most likely researching for a news story/article etc.
Also, the reason I believe picture A presents power is due to the same amount of harm it can cause as picture B. Being a spokesperson or someone able to speak with their region or country freely as an occupation can cause as much harm as guns. It may not be physical but it still can affect the economy, environment and jobs.
I think b because a and c are live and b have camara so it probably that because it’s not live maybe
But if live things don't have cameras, how can people who weren't there see it live? Example:New years fireworks on TV when they are live.
Ye that might be true
I think picture b is the odd one out because look at this world the first picture relates to the freedom of speech that Hong Kong gets but picture c relates to the democracy that Hong Kong gets I mean don't u feel bad for them they have to be part of China and don't get anymore freedom and they have to change their laws I mean how unfair is that just think about it if you was in their place how would you feel ? If we all do something we can make a change!
B because it is the army and the other one is speeches
B because A and C are about voting but B is about protesting.
I think picture B because it is the only one with guns in and it could mean that the English are preparing to defend Hong Kong.
I think the odd one out is C because in Hong Kong suspected criminals are being sent to China and in China there is no democracy, which picture C is showing, because of the hands and what seems to be voting boxes.
I think it is B because it's the only one without a crowd
I believe that picture b is the odd one out because the people are holding a gun but picture c is voting which is kind of scarey
Actually they are different in a number of ways...
A is different as you only see the mic plus the background is blurry but B can be the odd one out as there are fewer people and it is the only one where you can see the camera. Adding on to the B is the only one with weapons. As well as this C can also be unique as it's the only one that's indoors and it looks more of a democratic/political speech.
Thank you for reading
I believe that the odd one out is b .this is because the image apperas to show that there is an army which makes me think that the army has controll. However,image a and c are similar to each other in that people are giving speeches and voting. This makes me think that there giving speeches about the freedom of Hong Kong, therefore b is the odd one out !
I think it's A because in the other 2 there is a crowd and something important is going on but in A it looks like everyone is just staring at a microphone and it's just a waste of time
I believe that the odd one out is picture a because on picture b it shows two people cooperating together to take a picture and on picture c it shows many people taking a vote to come to a decision. However , on picture a it appears to be like one person talking to a crowd. One voice and one person.Therefore,picture a must be the odd one out .
I think image A is the odd one out because it looks like a single microphone so one single voice is heard whereas picture B there is a person helping another person take a picture and picture C looks like it's a public vote so everybody has a chance to be heard.So both (picture A and picture B) look like people are working together so in my opinion picture A is the odd one out.
I think picture A is the odd one out as in picture B a military man is gesturing to a camera man and helping him and picture C is people voting and deciding together.Picture A is one single microphone and a blurred background I repeat ONE SINGLE microphone.
i think it is B because b looks very violent but c and a is more calm and they also look the same
I think b is different than the rest because the picture doesn't have a huge crowd with a women/man at the front.
I think b is different than the rest because the picture doesn't have a huge crowd with a women/man at the front.
In my opinion picture A is the odd one out as there is only one micraphone and that means one voice .It appears to me that picture C is a vote (democracy)and picture B looks like two men working together to get a photo .Picture B and C is a more gaped picture as A is one .I think the answer is A.
I think picture b is the odd one out because it is the only one that isn't showing first hand news, it is being done through the press, not someone speaking.
In my opinion the odd one out is B. This is because the image appears to show soldiers. Which makes me think of the crisis in Hong Kong with the protesting and how swat teams are going against it. However,image B and C are slightly similar to each other that the democracy links with each other if you infer. This makes me think that B is the odd one out
Picture A and C shows that someone is talking to a crowd, giving them the news instantly and they will be receiving it in real life but picture B shows people taking pictures sending it back to someone, meaning they could change the news and make it fake news or not the truth.
In my opinion, I believe that B is the odd one out. The reason i believe this is because although they are all related in some kind of way, it seems as though A and C are more linked to one another. Since there is a microphone, with an audience behind it, in the first one and what appears to be a press conference on-going, with an audience in the third one, it feels like almost the same thing. Also, in B the main conceBut, there aren't any right or wrong answers; we are all opinionated.
For me, picture B is the odd one out. Picture A conveys the idea that anybody can be given a platform to speak out their thoughts, ideas, and emotion to address to any audience and even to those that may disagree with what you have to say. Similarly, picture C shows that the audience also have the freedom to speak out and discuss or reply back to what a speaker has to say. So both these scenarios present a 2 way conversation, an exchange of ideas, open dialogue in an open space and many viewpoints being heard.
However, picture B represents the press and how they can sometimes present one viewpoint, for example, in picture C, they can take just one snapshot of an event and use it to convey whatever message they want to tell us. The danger is, fake news and propagandas can spread easily through this way. This is very much the case in China where there is no freedom of the press, it’s just a one way communication of one thought. When a person gets their news from just one media source, there is a danger of not knowing what else you are missing, you may be reading or hearing news that is not true. In a democratic society, we have the freedom to read whatever we wish to read, however in China, Google is banned in order to control access to uncensored, free information that we take for granted. The government of China controls every aspect of the media and lots of false information is fed to it’s people. Picture A and C represent what Hong Kong people are fighting for and are afraid to lose.
I think picture B is the odd one out because A and C Look like they’re talking about Hong Kong’d democracy and their rights.Though,In Hong Kong people have been on the streets having a protest about the new law that was set from the prime minister.It looks like pictureB has people from the army doing training.As I said before about the protests in Hong Kong, The police are trying to stop protest and they are controlled by the government so they can’t stop and innocent people are getting killed just because they are speaking up for themselves.Some people even end up in prison!
Thanks for reading my comment,
Picture A & C are not the odd one out.
A- Shows the perspective of the speaker looking at the audience
C- Shows the perspective of the audience listening to the speaker.
However, B shows no audience nor speaker. Only the press in a hostile situation e.g. reporting on war or military grounds. so that sums up with B Being the odd one out. Thanks for reading
I think picture B is the odd one out because they have guns on the picture and they are wearing army suits and on the other pictures they aren't wearing army suits. Also they a re either speaking in front of people or on the microphone pi cture they will be announcing something
In my opinion, I think it's B. For me it is really easy to tell, if you look exceedingly carefully it shows at A & C have people in the background in other words a person maybe speaking. In picture A, for instance it doesn't really have a person speaking but it still has people in the background. But C has a person speaking but there is still people in the background
To be honest, I don't really know ; I might think C could be the odd one out since the fact that Hong Kong has no democracy , there wouldn't be people voting (putting their hands up.)
Thanks for reading my comment 👍
In my opinion, I think that picture in the middle because that is about taking pictures and the first on is about someone saying something and the last one is someone who is making a speech and the middle one is not making a speech.
picture b because it is the only one that does not include a mike or public speaking
In my opinion I think that picture B is the odd one out because it involves a camera in a war scene, which makes it odd out from the others because they all make sense.
I think picture A because it is the only one that doesn't involve the press. The others would be all over the news, whereas the first picture would only be known by the people that attend.
picture A is the odd one out as it is the only image not including the press, whereas images B and C both seem to involve the press in one way or another
They are all different in their own ways
I think that C is the odd one out because A and B show one person sharing events with the rest of the people. in picture C it is a hall full of people all agreeing on the same topic. In picture B it is one person taking photos for the citizens to see and picture A is one person talking at a group of people and not giving them a say.
I think the odd one out is b because a and c are about opinions
I think that picture B is the Odd one out because if you think about it B is the only one that can be shown as a picture as the other two are of somebody speaking and they could be shown on TV.
I think picture B is the odd one out because B doesn't show anything to do with a speech whereas picture a and C does In picture A it shows a microphone with a audience behind it and with picture C it shows a man speaking in front of some people like a speech, so they both seem similar and related to each other. And picture B shows no people speaking or no audience and it just shows people in the army with guns and someone filming or taking a picture. Also the others shows an someone announcing something but the picture B isn't announcing much.
I believe B is the odd one out because showing a microphone means that we say a speech. Linking to the hong Kong crisis there is lots of politics arguments so maybe a speech was to sort the matter or try to solve it at least.I think C links to A because people are doing debates/speeches.
My personal opinion is that picture A is the odd one out,
as not many people are taking to the streets to peaceful protest, most of them are resorting to violence to get their point across.
B shows the truth, this is what is happening, the press and the army?armed police are being needed to use force to restrain the violent protesters. Also, C shows the truth, in China, leaders are debating how to settle the problem in Hong Kong.
Personally, I think picture B is the one out.
Both A and C show something that represents democracy, ar a peaceful speech of some sort, whereas B shows people in the army holding guns, with someone from the press in a helmet and protective jacket, suggesting violence has or may be used.
I think it is picture A because B and C does not have the people blurred out whereas a does have the people blurred out
I think that picture “B” is the odd one out because picture “A” shows that the citizens of Hong Kong Have their say and are listened to and also in picture “c” It shows that they are asked and offered to make changes and shows that the government are listening and understanding the public’s problems.
I think that photo A could be the odd one out because it does not suggest politics
Picture A could be the odd one out because the microphone could represent many things whereas the other pictures clearly define other things. The background also looks slightly out of place as it look slightly like a sports match.
Picture B could be the odd one out because it looks like the only one that represents violence and the press.
Picture C could be the odd one out as it is the only one that looks formal and not unofficial.
I think that picture B is the odd one out, as it shows the army. I chose B because the other ones show the power of people to question things, for example picture A shows the power of the the people and the freedom of speech that people have. They may not be able to immediately affect the issue, but they are able to raise awareness of the issue to other people and to explain their view. In C, it shows a parliament or congregation where people are asking questions and questioning the opinion of another person. However B does not show this as it has the military and it can be said that there is no questioning the military as they are usually controlled by the government. This can be a corrupt government or puppet government, for example in Hong Kong, where it being taken over by the Chinese government.
I believe that the odd picture out is picture C. This is because A and B seem to represent dangerous situations. I believe this because in the background of picture A it seems like a protest or an angry crowd behind the microphone. This could represent the situation in Hong Kong where the people are protesting and the authorities are trying to calm them down. It could also represent people persuading the citizens of Hong Kong to protest against the police officer.
In picture B, it represents the press going into a dangerous situation. In the photograph, you can see the journalist is wearing a bullet proof vest. This shows that they are going into a war zone or a dangerous area.
These are connected because they can both have angry people and both can be a result of an act by the government.
I think that it is B because the other two look like speeches are happening
I believe picture A is the odd one out because i think the photographer of B and C were suppose to take picture of people taking a speech or doing something where they know their getting their picture taken , but they don't show it to make it look better , or they need information from the picture to remember.Or they want to show friends and family. whereas picture A i think the photographer just wanted to take a picture of the microphone but couldn't zoom in all the way to get the people out of the picture and got them in the photo. but i believe he edited the people and blurred the people just in case it effects them getting their picture taken when they don't want it taken . this is an act of kindness for people he doesn't know! At least he or she did the right thing ; ]
good answer
I think picture B is the odd one out because picture A has a crowd
of people and it represents the freedom of Hong Kong speech
and picture C has a huge crowd like picture A and are ready to
protest or is protesting and the reason why I think picture
B is the odd one out is because the freedom of the press has
not been took away!
content_lemon you have lots of information and you have really thought about Hong Kong 's crisis well done!
I think it is picture B it seems to have nothing to do with the rest .
I believe that the Picture B is the odd one out because there is no security guards in the other pictures.In addition to this, picture B has no people having any mode of communication verbally however the people in Picture A and C are either singing or having their point of view being shared with other people which is enabling them to their right to speech
Last but not least, the Picture B has things that are related to the Honk Kong protests that is occurring currently such as the Press and the military force who are trying to sedate the infuriated crowds trying to fight for their freedom.
I aggree with everyone who says B
I also am believing that people supporting Picture B are correct
Thank you for reading this comment ^
i think its B because A and C are both shows on stage
I think B because A and C have a speech going on about the rights of the hongkongers while picture B has the Chinese preparing their army to stop the protesters. That's what I think.
Merit Reasons:
So do I, because in the picture C it shows that the man hold a microphone and on picture A it shows that their is a microphone staring around all people.
THAK YOU FOR READING MY COMMENT BYE!!!!
I think that B is the one odd out because in B a person is taking a photos but in the other two the people they speeking
I think it is picture B because picture A and C is a picture of Hong Kongers whith freedom of speech but B is a picture of armed men in the background with press. I think that all Hong Kongers need freedom and bit by bit China is taking over Hong Kong witch is bad because China is not keeping their promise made with Britain in 1997
I think it is B becuase A and C are crowded but B is different like someone did something wrong
Actually when you think about it all of them can be different to each other in their own way . A can be the odd one out because on picture C it shows cooperation to come to a decision and on picture B both men are working together to take some sort of picture so on A it is the only one that shows one micerophone and one voice .However, picture B can be the odd one out because it is the only picture with a weapon . Also picture C can be the odd one out because it is the only picture that shows a democracy .
I think picture B Is the odd one out as it looks like the military is involved in the problem but in picture A and C there are a group of civilians. It also looks like there is a speech happening in picture A and C.
I think that picture B is the odd one out due to the fact that picture A is showing the freedom of speech Hong Kong gets where as picture B shows more about the war and leading up to freedom. Picture C and A seem very similar as they are both images of a speech, this speech could be about freedom, democracy or change in laws, where as picture B is an image of a photographer with army men, this could be showing how Hong Kong are fighting for their rights instead of speaking out for them like in picture A and C. I think A and C are the same/ similar pictures as they are showing that Hong Kong just want piece but need to take it to these violent extremes as no one is listening. China know what they want and are trying to make it happen but they need to know that they have a contract that is NOT out of date yet as it still has 38 years to go, stating that Hong Kong still have 38 years of freedom and peace from the Chinese laws. At the same time i also think A is the odd one out as it is not government lead. B shows the army which could be the Chinese army trying to fight back to the rioters of Hong Kong and C shows a debate of some sort which could possibly be lead by the government to help decide what laws should be put into place.
So long
So long but very interesting
I think picture B because it is either millatry training or people at war.
I think it is Picture C because pictures A and B both have forms of communication and A has setting of calmness, B has a setting of violence because the guy has a Gun and the second guy has a camera
I think that picture C is the odd one out because it looks like the person taking the picture is being left out. Where as in picture B it looks like someone is taking a picture of someone else, though it is in a battle field. And in picture A a person is in front of a microphone so that person is going to be important and is speaking to lots of people.
I think that picture B is the odd one out because it looks like there will be violence.But picture A and C looks like someone needs to say there speech.Picture B makes me feel like a war is about to happen but I don't know where I think it might be Hong Kong.If you have read this thank you.
i think that picture B is the odd one out because I think that the microphone is showing that people should have the rights to speak out, and I also think that picture C is about politics or people talking about politics.
I think the odd one it is b because the other two have microphones and and someone speaking into them and the other one has soldiers in them.
I think picture A is the odd one out because in picture B and C,there is people that stand out becuase of war and politics but in picture A,there is just a microphone standing for someone to say how we can change what happens around the world such as woman in some places are rejected.
Really interesting!😀
I think that C is the odd one of the group because A and B are put in to perspective that you are the main person, you are there but C is like your watching, your a spectator. Thanks for reading!
You have a good point there, good thinking.
I think that picture A is the odd one out because you can see the perspective of someone who is giving a speech or trying to make a change in some way. The person who took the pictures B and C don’t seem to be the ones who are making a statement.
I mean I am a 100% sure that is C.
I mean B.
I mean a 100% sure that is C.
I sorry for saying that.
I think that picture c is the odd one out because in picture a and b the main person is right in front of the camera since they are doing something important where as in picture c although he is also doing something important he is stood right at the back which wouldn’t really make him feel important or like he was doing something important
I understand how others might think the odd one out is b because it looks like someone is in danger or there might be some sort of threat going on.
I agree with the people who say B because A and C is about speaking up to the public, whereas B is just about the news press taking pictures of the military fighting.
In my opinion i think that b is the odd one out because the others pictures are having speeches and votes and talking about their opinions b is with guns and all sorts of things.I think this because b is like someone has done something wrong or there is some sort of protest happening.The other is where nothing bad is happening and people are talking or voting about what they want for their country or their city.
I think picture B is the odd one out because it looks like someone is fighting for something unlike A and C where it seems to show you a picture of a meeting or a vote.Picture B seems to be a picture about army or force where people take what they want without being open-minded.Where in picture C the lady on the stage looks like a important person or an mp.It looks like they are asking a question to the crowed and wondering on peoples opinions.Picture A looks like i/the person looking at the picture, is in front of a big crowed it makes me feel like i'm making a speech.So my final conclusion is that picture B is the odd one out
