Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Law enforcement agency + Human male = ?

Answer: Policeman

Policemen, or police officers as they are also commonly known, are members of law enforcement agencies who work hard each day at maintaining the peace and security of their areas to ensure the safety and serenity of mind their citizens. This sometimes can be extremely dangerous work indeed, so they, along with firefighters, ambulance workers and soldiers are pretty amazing people - heroes in my book, all of them.
2. Young lad + An amigo = ?

Answer: Boyfriend

A boyfriend, as the meaning of the word is commonly understood, is the romantic partner of a female of any age, but is more associated with younger women first setting out on their own lives. Sometimes this swain eventually becomes the husband of his lady love, sometimes not. It's not life threatening if this is not the case.
3. Denizen of the sea + A large war machine = ?

Answer: Fishtank

Fishtanks are those compartments of various sizes which one sees every now and then in the homes of private individuals, or, even more rarely, in waiting rooms of places such as doctors' surgeries. These tanks are filled with small ornaments, rocks, and pieces of floating greenery in which their assorted beautifully coloured occupants swim about. Watching a well-maintained tank filled with lovely fish can be extremely restful and relaxing.

Note: This word is sometimes spelled with two words instead of one. You were given the compound version of same from which to choose.
4. A couch for Zzzs + A house compartment = ?

Answer: Bedroom

A bedroom is one of several rooms in an average-sized house used, for the most part, as places in which to sleep. It is recommended when designing and furnishing a bedroom to have the walls painted in restful, soothing colours, for the bed to be a comfortable size, the mattress to have just the right amount of support, the pillows the right height and softness for the head, and the coverings soft and warm in winter and cool and light in summer. Oh, I suddenly feel terribly sleepy - my bed is just right for this Goldilocks.
5. An engine + A repeating process = ?

Answer: Motorcycle

A motorcycle is a small, open-seated transportation vehicle of two wheels used normally by one occupant for quick, light and easy trips between various destinations. These vehicles are convenient, cheaper than cars, highly manoeuvrable, and are usually capable of carrying one passenger on the back pillion as well.

The disadvantages are that they can make riding freezing, the drivers can get soaked to the skin in rainy weather, they're not highly visible for other drivers of heavier vehicles or pedestrians to spot - and they're damned noisy.
6. Water from above + Trip over = ?

Answer: Rainfall

Rainfall consists of water droplets that descend from the sky to land on the earth below. This almost miraculous gift of replenishment of our oceans, lakes and rivers, alas, has a very scientific basis. Water vapour in the atmosphere becomes heavy enough so that gravity directs it downwards. It's still pretty miraculous though, don't you think?
7. Head growth + Sever = ?

Answer: Haircut

Haircuts are the cutting and shaping of that mop of fuzz that grows on human heads into various styles and fashions. These styles and fashions come and go over time, much like clothing does. The oldest record of hair styling (braiding) dates back some 30,000 years, and the length of women's hair has either been as long as possible, assorted lengths - or as short as possible in more recent times. With men, the hairstyle and cut was and is usually a lot simpler, apart from the peculiar wearing of wigs that began during the early 1600s and lasted until the mid-1700s.
8. A glance + Opposite of in = ?

Answer: Lookout

A lookout can either be a person keeping watch to make sure no enemies, or law enforcing officers, are on the way - or it could be a structure built high on a hill or man-made structure to enable those manning it to keep an eye on all visible surroundings.

It can also be seen on old sailing ships at the top of the masts, or on ships of today, with the same purpose for all eras, that of scouting the seas around the vessel for any signs of danger.
9. Sketch + Rear = ?

Answer: Drawback

A drawback, as we commonly understand the word today, is a disadvantage of some kind in any endeavour. This term, however, also appears in the commercial world, where it is a duty having to be paid on foreign goods that are being re-exported.
10. Verdant colour + A residence = ?

Answer: Greenhouse

Greenhouses or glasshouses are structures used for the growing and cultivation of various plants that require specific climatic conditions in order to flourish at their best. These structures of assorted sizes can have their required moisture levels, lighting requirements and temperatures set for optimum production, and are protected from external extreme weather conditions by their (usually) glass walls and roof. Believe it or not, the idea of greenhouses can be dated as far back as ancient Rome.
