Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Spanish

Answer: Inquisition

The Spanish Inquisition was established in 1480 by Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, the rulers of Spain at the time. It lasted for around 350 years until it was abolished in 1834. The inquisition in Spain began as a means to check the authenticity of newly converted Jews and Muslims to Christianity.
2. French

Answer: Windows

French windows are large door-sized openings which typically open out onto a terrace. They are known as porte-fenêtre in France and portafinestra in Italy.
3. Chinese

Answer: Whispers

Chinese Whispers originally referred to a game where each person had to pass on a story till it reached the last person with the message inevitably getting altered with each passing. It is now used to describe a situation where the original message may get distorted with each retelling.
4. Indian

Answer: Summer

The term 'Indian summer' is not in any way connected to the country of India. Its origins lie with the Native Americans who were mistakenly referred to as Indians earlier. The term describes a spell of unusually warm and dry weather in the middle of the autumn season in the Northern Hemisphere.
5. Irish

Answer: Sea

The Irish Sea is a body of water that separates the island of Ireland from that of Great Britain. The islands of Isle of Man and Anglesey, among others, are found within the Irish Sea.
6. Dutch

Answer: Courage

Dutch courage refers to a false sense of bravado acquired after drinking alcohol. It is one of the many derogatory idioms in the English language associated with the Dutch.
7. Mexican

Answer: Wave

The Mexican Wave is usually seen in sporting stadiums when spectators successively get up, raise their hands and then sit down till the movement spreads across the entire ground. Since entire groups move in turn, it resembles the movement of a wave. While this practice is believed to have been around in North America for some years prior, it became popular among the rest of the world during the 1986 football World Cup held in Mexico leading to its name.
8. Turkish

Answer: Delight

Turkish delight, known as rahat lokum in Arabic, is a type of sweet made with starch and sugar. Depending on the additional ingredients included, there are many varieties of this confection. In C.S. Lewis' book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", the character of Edmund Pevensie is trapped by the White Witch after he eats some Turkish delight offered by her which causes him to be enchanted by her.
9. German

Answer: Shepherd

The German Shepherd, formerly known as the Alsatian, is a medium sized dog with origins in Germany. The dog was originally bred for use in herding sheep.
10. Belgian

Answer: Waffles

Belgian waffles is a term that was initially used in North America to describe a variety of waffles that were prepared with a lighter batter than the regular waffles that were eaten in America. While also eaten as a breakfast food, when served as a dessert, they may be accompanied with strawberries and whipped cream.
