(d) – the others are Big Mac ingredients, as per the jingle
One possibility:
(c) – Kutch is in India, the others are in Pakistan
How about
(c) – each of the others is attributed to one man (Paine for the first and last, Kennedy for Profiles, while The Federalist Papers are generally considered to be the joint effort of Hamilton, Madison, and Jay
Sternvogel, you got two of them right: 22 and 29.

I can think of two possibilities.[spoiler]Baffin could be the odd one out, because the others are all in the tropics and Baffin Island is in arctic Canada.
Or it could be Exuma. The others are all individual islands, but Exuma is a region of the Bahamas consisting of many islands (the largest of which is Great Exuma Island).
Odd that you would mention Exuma. I’d never heard of it, until I flew there about a week ago in Flight Simulator.[/spoiler]
I’m sorry, but this is terrible. Elvira Madigan was Danish tight-rope walker, about whom a movie was made in 1967, which prominently included Mozart’s Piano Concerto in C major, K. 467 in its soundtrack.
Elivra Madigan is not “by” Mozart in any reasonable sense. You could say it’s a movie by Bo Widerberg, and speak of the “theme from Elvira Madigan,” which is from the Mozart Concerto mentioned above, but that’s it.
the Dodgers had a shortstop named Bill Russell (white guy, so definitely not the Celtics star). Yeager was a catcher for the Dodgers, while Lopes played second base for L.A. Woodling was most notably a New York Yankee, so that’s my guess.
d. Broadloom is the odd one out. There others are all types of sails on a sailboat or ship. (In the nautical tradition of dropping letters and syllables whenever possible, I’ve usually seen topgallant as “t’gallant”.)There’s no way you were gonna get this one past me.
That reminds me of a Navy cartoon in the *New Yorker *during World War II. A sailor is writing a letter and asks his bunkmate, “How many apostrophes in ‘fo’c’sle’?”
b) *Yellow Sky *was not a Hitchcocok movie.
