Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A small bird with a forked tail; The tower near the mosque

Answer: Martin Minaret

A martin is a small bird of the swallow family with long pointed wings and a slightly forked tail. Like swallows, the martin symbolizes hope, prowess, and freedom. Ancient Greek sailors considered these birds to be lucky birds.

A minaret is a tower, usually near a mosque, from which the faithful are called to prayer five times daily by a crier or muezzin. Minarets have different shapes and the number of minarets per mosque can range from one to six. The minaret, which can be seen from a distance, serves as a symbol of Islam's presence.
2. A common Indian dish made with dried vegetables; Another name for transaction.

Answer: Dal Deal

Dal also spelled dhal or daal is a common side dish in India. Vegetables that grow in a pod, and are hulled and split, such as lentils, peas, chickpeas, or fava beans are used to prepare dal, which can be in the form of a stew, soup, or thick purée, served with rice or as part of a multi-course meal.

A deal, as a noun, is the same as a transaction, pact, treaty, arrangement, or agreement between two or more parties, which generally benefits all parties involved.
3. Another name for puma; The word that completes the title of President John Kennedy's award-winning book: "Profiles in ___"

Answer: Cougar Courage

A cougar is a large cat and a solitary animal, also called puma, mountain lion, catamount, or panther, with a plain tawny to grayish coat. It is an ambush predator of a wide range of prey; its preference is for large mammals, especially deer.

"Profiles in Courage", 1956, is a book with short biographies describing the acts of courage and integrity of eight United States senators. It was written by then-Senator John F. Kennedy, who won the Pulitzer Prize for the work. The book was a success and staple for an American historical series of the same name that was telecast on NBC.
4. A Japanese form of wrestling; a small rodent

Answer: Sumo Mouse

Sumo wrestling is an ancient Japanese sport and Japan's national sport, which follows numerous traditions. It consists of a full-contact wrestling competition where the wrestlers (rikishi) try to push the opponent wholly or partially out of the circular ring (dohyô). The fighters are huge and wear only small loincloths.
Sumo is written with the kanji for "mutual bruising", or simply means "to compete".

A mouse (pl. mice) is a small rodent that is characterized by a slender body, pointed snout, small and rounded ears, and a body-length tail. As house mice live close to humans they are dangerous because they can transmit serious diseases, contaminate food, and damage property.
5. Another name for saloon or bar; A former member of the armed forces.

Answer: Tavern Veteran

A tavern is an old word used to name an establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold and consumed on-site; they can also serve food. Usually, a tavern does not offer accommodation. Currently, "tavern" is a less common word for "pub".

The word veteran derives from the Latin "vetus" which means old. "Title 38 of the United States Code" defines a veteran as a "person who served in the active military, naval, air, or space service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable". In general, we call veterans people who have long experience in a particular activity.
6. A group of people related by blood or marriage; Free from dirt

Answer: Clan Clean

The word "clan" is used to name people who descend from the same ancestor either by blood or through marriage. They are people united by common characteristics, aims, or interests. A clan can be considered synonymous with a family unit, tribe, kin, or "mishpachah" (Yiddish).

To be "clean" means to be free from dirt, marks, stains, or impurities. Also, "clean" can mean unaltered, uninfected, and morally pure. Currently, we talk a lot about the need to use "clean practices or clean technologies", which means practices or technologies that produce little or no pollution.
7. A high point of rock or land that projects into the sea; A state of tranquility, without hostilities.

Answer: Cape Peace

One calls a cape, headland, promontory, point, or head a long narrow area of high land or rock that projects into a body of water, generally into the ocean. A cape usually represents an abrupt change in the trend of the coastline. Capes can be formed by glaciers, volcanoes, and changes in sea level.

The word peace is similar to tranquility, serenity, comfort, mental calm, etc. Peace means freedom from disturbance. It is a concept of social harmony, absence of violence, and hostility or fear of violence.
8. A deep narrow cleft between the escarpment valleys created by the action of time and the activity of a river; The first name of the first, the 41st, and the 43rd American presidents.

Answer: Gorge George

A gorge or canyon consists of a deep narrow valley with rocky and steep walls located between mountains, with a river running along its bottom. However, in general, a gorge is smaller than a canyon. The word gorge resembles the three adjacent gorges the Qutang, Wu, and Xiling located in the Yangtze River, in China, where the Three Gorges Dam was built. This is a hydroelectric gravity dam, the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity.

George is the first name of the first, the forty-first, and the forty-third American presidents: George Washington (1732 - 1799), George H. W. Bush (1924 - 2018, Massachusetts), and George W. Bush (1948 -, Connecticut). George Washington was born in Virginia Colony, at that time British America.
9. Small magical beings that make mischievous interference in human affairs; Part of the garment that covers the arms

Answer: Elves Sleeve

Elves (sing. elf) are supernatural beings in folklore and mythology. The idea we have today about elves comes from Norse mythology. Elves have a human-like shape, pointed ears, a very long life, and a connection with nature and magic, being closer to fairies than humans. They have magical powers and a capricious nature; it is believed that they can cause illness in humans and other animals, nightmares, and even change small children into elves.

A sleeve is the part of a garment (dress, shirt, blouse, jacket, etc.) that partially or completely covers the arm. In practical terms, the sleeves cover and protect arms and shoulders. There are numerous models of sleeves that, in addition to their practical function, add to a garment's silhouette and style.
10. Male bees that produce no honey; To give approval

Answer: Drones Endorse

Drones are male bees that live in bee colonies. They are characterized by not producing honey, performing no work, and being stingless. The drones have only one function: to mate with the Queen bee. They are able to mate seven to ten times during a mating flight and die quickly after mating.

To endorse is to make a public statement of the support or approval of something or someone. It is synonymous for certify, warrant, and guarantee the quality, accuracy, and condition of a subject. For example, the signing of a document (bill of exchange or a check) to make it payable or to accept responsibility for paying it.
11. The unit of length equivalent to 1,760 yards; E. V. Rieu was a British classics editor and translator, who started the Penguin Classics series of books. What is his first name whose initial is the letter "E"?

Answer: Mile Emile

A mile, also called statute mile or land mile, abbr. mi. or mi is the unit of length equal to 5,280 feet, 1,760 yards, or 1,609 meters. It was a Roman measure corresponding to 1,000 paces. The one-mile race is the only non-metric race found in athletic competitions. Another competition measured in miles is the annual Indianapolis 500-Mile Race automobile race.

Emile Victor Rieu, known as E. V. Rieu (1887 - 1972) was a British classicist, poet, translator and publisher. Rieu is best known for his translation of Homer. The translation of "Odyssey" in 1946 was the beginning of the Penguin Classics series of books, which Rieu with Sir Allen Lane founded and edited from 1944 to 1964. According to Rieu's son, his father's idea was to "make available to the ordinary reader, in good modern English, the great classics of every language". I think many of us have been benefited from his initiative.
12. Another word for job, duty; A slice of meat for frying or roasting

Answer: Task Steak

Task, job, chore, assignment, and duty are synonyms for specific work. "Job" has a more general character while task refers to something that has a short duration, is clearly defined, and is expected to be fulfilled.

Steak is a thick, flat, slice of meat cut from a fleshy part of a beef carcass. In a restaurant, a steak means a slice of grilled or broiled beef. Since the 15th century, steak means "thick slice of meat", from the Old Norse word steak which means "roast beef".
13. A common substance used to flavor food; To take without permission

Answer: Salt Steal

Salt is a strong-tasting white substance, found in seawater, which is available as white crystals or powder, and used to flavor or preserve food. Chemically, table salt is composed of two elements: Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl).

To steal or to rob means taking something that is owned by someone without asking for permission, without intending to return it. However, currently, there is a difference in the use of these two verbs. It is said that a thief robs a place or person (of objects) and steals objects from places or persons.
14. People who shoot with bow and arrows; Systematic investigation to establish facts

Answer: Archers Research

Archers, bowmen, and toxophilites are people who are experts in shooting with a bow and arrow, usually at a target. In mythology and literature, the list of archers is quite extensive. My favorite archers are Cupid and Robin Hood.

The process of creating new knowledge or using existing knowledge to generate new knowledge is called research. Research implies a systematic investigation of facts and revision of theories already accepted in the light of new facts. According to Payton (1979), "Research is the process of looking for a specific question in an organized, objective, reliable way".
15. Something that is poisonous; The word that completes the title of the beautiful film "The Best ___ Marigold Hotel".

Answer: Toxic Exotic

The word "toxic" is the antonym of safe, salubrious, and harmless. It is an adjective that means lethal, poisonous, harmful, pestilential, etc. One says that a substance is toxic when it is capable of causing injury or death. A stressful or difficult situation can also be called toxic or unhealthy.

"Exotic" means strange and unusual; frequently refers to something foreign, originating in another place. The word exotic is part of the title of the British comedy-drama "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" (2011), starring among others Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. It's about a group of British retirees, each with their own problems, who move to Jaipur, India, attracted by the not-so-true advertising about the hotel in question.
