Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the father of Nicholas and Kate?

Answer: Nicholas Nickleby

Like all good fathers, he took a risk, lost most of his money, and died, leaving his children poor.

2. Squeers steals clothing from pupils and gives the clothing to his son.

Answer: True

It really would be impossible to find one redeeming virtue in Squeers's character.

3. Mr. Kenwigs was NOT a(n)...

Answer: member of Parliament

I'm sure that Mr. Kenwigs WISHED he was a member of Parliament, though.

4. James Gride was the old man who wished to marry Madeline.

Answer: False

His name was Arthur Gride, not James Gride.

5. What is the last name of the owner of the millinery shop who hired Kate?

Answer: Mantalini

Mrs. Mantalini's establishment was known by a different name (that of Ms. Knag) after her husband could not pay all of his debts. Kate, not being a favorite of Ms. Knag, was fired.

6. Whose carriage wrecked after he fought with Nicholas?

Answer: Sir Mulberry's

His injuries only made him hate Nicholas more. He wanted REVENGE.

7. Kate worked as a companion to Mrs. Wititterly before working at the Mantalinis' shop.

Answer: False

Kate's darling, loving (!) uncle found her this job after her first disastrous venture into the work force. He should start an employment agency; after all, he's such a wonderful career counselor!

8. Name Mrs. Wititterly's doctor.

Answer: Sir Tumley Snuffim

He must enjoy treating Mrs. Wititterly. After all, there isn't really anything wrong with her, so his job is easy.

9. What is Miss Price's (later Mrs. Browdie's) first name?

Answer: Matilda

Miss Squeers always calls her 'Tilda.

10. Mr. Lillyvick marries Miss Petowker and neglects to tell his relatives first.

Answer: True

What a nasty trick! How dare he do what he wishes to do with his life and his money! He should give it all to the Kenwigses! Why else would they kiss up to him so much? Certainly not because they actually LIKE him...
