Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In what room of the house are you most likely to find a mandoline?

Answer: Kitchen

A mandoline is a kitchen tool used for slicing and chopping. Used like a large grater, it can slice things very thin, such as potatoes for making potato chips. It's not to be confused with a mandolin (note the different spelling), which is a musical instrument played like a guitar.
2. If your mom asks you to put away the trivet, which of these would be the best place to put it?

Answer: China cabinet

A trivet is what you place hot things (like a casserole dish or a coffee pot) on instead of putting them directly on the counter or table; they sometimes come with cup-and-saucer sets. Trivets are commonly made from ceramic or metal, but other materials are used too.
3. Where would you find a sham?

Answer: On a pillow

Pillow shams come with most bedding sets, along with sheets, pillowcases, and bed skirts. The sham goes over the pillow case, and is only to make the bed look nice when it's all made up; you take the sham off before laying your head on the pillow at bedtime.
4. What kind of food most commonly goes in a 'boat'?

Answer: Gravy

Gravy can go in any other container, of course, but a gravy boat is usually used for a more formal setting, such as Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Any other sauce that is to be poured on food can go in a gravy boat too; another name for it is a saucière.
5. In which of these places would you most likely store reeds?

Answer: Saxophone case

Reeds are the small wooden pieces that are required to play saxophones and woodwind instruments like clarinets; when you blow into the instrument the reed creates a vibration and helps produce the desired sound. The reed attaches to the instrument with a small metal ligature.

The size of the reed you use depends on the size of your instrument. They are also available in different thicknesses for each instrument to suit different players' styles and purposes.
6. Where would you store a tureen?

Answer: Kitchen cabinet

A tureen is a large container usually used for serving soup and keeping it warm. Tureens have been in use as a serving vessel for many, many years and probably originated in France. A similar item that contains only a single serving of soup (or other similar food) is sometimes called an écuelle.
7. Where would you most likely find a mandible?

Answer: In a human

A mandible is the lower jaw bone in humans and other mammals. It holds the teeth in place and moves up and down when you open your mouth. It's the biggest bone in your face.
8. In which room of the house would most people keep their divan?

Answer: Living room

A divan is a piece of furniture that originated in the Middle East (they will sometimes be called Turkish divans). It's a form of a couch, similar to the modern daybed. Divans were very popular in Europe in the 19th century, in bedrooms and in salons (sitting rooms).
9. Which of these places is most likely to have a sickle on site?

Answer: Farm

A sickle is an agricultural tool, with a blade used for cutting and harvesting. It looks similar to a scythe, but a sickle's handle is much shorter. Both of these tools are rather primitive in modern times, but they are not totally out of use.
10. Where does a bobeche belong?

Answer: On a candlestick

A bobeche is part of a candlestick; it's the little cup that catches melted wax that drips down the candle. It's a French word that was adopted into English use.
