Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which type of "brush" would you use to keep your mouth clean after every meal?

Answer: Toothbrush

A toothbrush is one of the essential items every bathroom should have. They are easy to use and are very important for mouth hygiene. Dentists recommend brushing your teeth at least three times a day or after every meal, as well as using mouthwash and flossing to eliminate bacteria and germs. All you need is a small dab of toothpaste and some water to rinse. It's that easy!
2. Which of the following body parts could you add before the word "chair" to make a comfortable place to sit and relax at home?

Answer: Arm

An armchair adds comfort when you're sitting down because it has two armrests that allow you to place your arms on them. It usually fits one person only, though a larger sofa may have space for two people with one armrest on each side. An armchair can go anywhere in a home; some people place them near their fireplaces to keep warm during the winter months.
3. Which of these words, which is where you likely sleep, could you put before "room" to create an important part of your house?

Answer: Bed

A bedroom is oftentimes one of the biggest rooms in a home since residents typically spend a lot of time inside them. Though many people use their bedrooms to do work or watch TV, sleep experts have suggested that the bedroom be used exclusively to sleep in order to maximize the quality of nighttime rest.

Other recommendations to sleep well include making the room as cool and dark as possible by shutting all the curtains, stop consuming caffeine a few hours before bedtime, and keeping your phone outside of the bedroom to help you sleep without distractions.
4. If you want to enjoy a snack while watching a movie, you might "pop" which of the following cereals in the microwave?

Answer: Corn

Corn, also known as maize, is a cereal grain that can be used to create thousands of foods all around the world. In Central and South American countries like Mexico, it is a staple used to make tortillas, tamales, and gorditas. In the U.S., corn is eaten "on the cob" with some butter. Popcorn is one of many other ways to use this cereal in food and is commonly associated with movies.

There are many flavorings that can be added to popcorn such as caramel, powdered chili, and garlic powder, but the most common additives are melted butter and salt. Popcorn by itself is relatively healthy, though the ingredients added to them for flavor sometimes decrease their nutritional value.
5. Which of these "boxes" would you check if you were expecting a letter or a package to arrive at your house?

Answer: Mailbox

A mailbox is a useful container to keep your mail, such as letters, small packages, and postcards, safe. Postal workers who deliver your letters will open your mailbox and place letters addressed to you inside. If you live in an apartment complex, your mailbox might be next to many others and accessible with a key or combination lock.
6. Which of the following words could you add before "pan" to create an item that can be used to make Alfredo, Bechamel, or Hollandaise?

Answer: Sauce

Saucepans are a convenient type of cookware because they can be used for many different purposes. Since they have some depth to them, they can hold liquids better than other pans and are therefore good for making soups or sauces. Alfredo, Bechamel, and Hollandaise are all types of sauces: Alfredo is a cheese and butter sauce commonly used on pasta, Bechamel sauce is made with flour, butter, and milk, and Hollandaise is a butter, egg, and lemon mixture that can be used to make Eggs Benedict.
7. Which of the following words can be added before "phone" to create a mobile item you can use to call your relatives? (for American English speakers)

Answer: Cell

A cellphone, also known as a mobile phone or hand phone, is a useful tool that has greatly increased humanity's ability to communicate. One of the first cellphones was created by Finnish inventor Eric Tigerstedt in the early 1900s, which he had envisioned to be "pocket-sized". Over time, many companies started developing their own versions of cellphones, including Motorola, NTT, and Nokia. Years later, Apple would launch their own phone, the iPhone, to completely change cellphones as we know them.

Other well-known brands include Samsung, Blackberry, and Huawei.
8. The item pictured on the right is meant to "stop" which of the following things, the first part of the word "_____stop"?

Answer: Door

A doorstop can be especially helpful in a house with windy conditions to prevent doors from abruptly closing or even locking themselves. Conversely, a doorstop can be used to keep doors partially open at a desired angle. These tools can be made out of rubber or wood, and they are wedge-shaped so they can fit beneath the door just enough for the thick part to hold the door's weight.
9. Which of the following words can be added before "cake" to create a breakfast food like the one pictured, often served with maple syrup and butter?

Answer: Pan

Pancakes are an American breakfast favorite. These circle-shaped treats are made of an egg, flour, and milk batter that is combined and then cooked. Other ingredients can be added to make them taste better, such as buttermilk, chocolate chips, and blueberries.

They are served with maple syrup (though some people prefer other spreads like caramel, chocolate syrup, or peanut butter) and a pad of butter. They can also be called flapjacks or hotcakes.
10. If your mom were preparing to go out to dinner, which of these items would she most likely be applying on her lips?

Answer: Stick

Lipsticks are popular cosmetics used to give color and a nice appearance to people's lips. Lipsticks are overwhelmingly sold in colors like red, pink, and purple, although they come in many different colors other than those three. There are other types of sticks that are used to soothe the lips, such as Chapstick or lip balms with healing properties.
