Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A party where everyone wears masks

Answer: Masquerade

Masquerades are usually large parties where, in addition to wearing masks, people dress up in elaborate costumes. Masquerades were popular in Venice, Italy during the Renaissance period.

2. The absolute lowest amount of something

Answer: Minimum

The minimum is the lowest amount acceptable to a situation. If you are asked to read for a minimum of ten minutes, that means ten minutes is the lowest amount of time you should read for. You may read for longer but not less than ten minutes.

3. A crazy and confusing situation where everything goes wrong

Answer: Mayhem

Often in the case of mayhem, people are left hurt and things and places are destroyed. It is best to try and avoid such situations.

4. Get on top of such as a horse or a bike

Answer: Mount

Mount can also mean to climb, as in the phrase "mounting the stairs". It can also mean something used as a display, such as a mount for a painting.

5. Very large, like a certain extinct woolly animal

Answer: Mammoth

Mammoth means big. Woolly mammoths were large, hairy animals that resembled elephants in both size and appearance.

6. Speak so that you are barely or not at all understood

Answer: Mumble

Mumbling is usually done when you don't want other people to hear what you are saying but does not have to be so. Mumbling can be considered rude and it is best to speak clearly.

7. Being very soft and wet or being overly sentimental

Answer: Mushy

Mushy things include mashed potatoes and smashed bananas. Mushy can also mean being very sentimental or romantic to the point that it is over the top.

8. Something to read that is published weekly or monthly

Answer: Magazine

Some famous magazines are "National Geographic", which has pictures and articles about the world and animals, and "Sports Illustrated" which is about sports and athletes. Both magazines have kids' versions available.

9. An error or blunder done by accident

Answer: Mistake

Mistakes happen all the time and they are often not worth getting upset over. A good way to avoid or lessen the amount of mistakes is to pay closer attention to what you are doing.

10. Something unknown and worth figuring out

Answer: Mystery

Sherlock Holmes solved a lot of mysteries and Agatha Christie is a famous mystery writer. Mysteries can be fun and adventurous or serious depending on the situation.
