Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Sweet root vegetable

Answer: Snip

PAR + Snip = Parsnip.

A parsnip is a sweet root vegetable, often enjoyed as part of a roast dinner, that children (and some adults) sometimes mistake for a large chipped potato!

The parsnip has the scientific name 'Pastinaca sativa'.
2. "Excuse me?"

Answer: Don

PAR + Don = Pardon.

Pardon is a polite way of advising someone that you have not heard what they said, thereby asking them to repeat themselves.

It is also often followed by the word "me" as a way of excusing oneself, as in saying "pardon me" when one belches.
3. Enjoyed oneself; had fun

Answer: Tied

PAR + Tied = Partied.

Partied is the past tense of the verb form of the word "party", and means "had fun, especially in the presence of other people", such as at a social event.

Lots of people all over the world partied at the end of 1999 as they celebrated the dawn of a new millennium.
4. Short story with a moral lesson

Answer: Able

PAR + Able = Parable.

A parable is a short story that contains some sort of simple teaching or lesson that is generally easy to remember.

The 'Parable of the Good Samaritan' is one of the best known of the many teachings of Jesus, and provides the teaching that one should love one's neighbor just as one does oneself.
5. Coat with (decorative) plaster

Answer: Get

PAR + Get = Parget.

The word parget derives from the Old French "par" (meaning "all over") and "jeter" (meaning "to throw").

The practice of pargeting can be seen in the English counties of Essex and Suffolk, where many older buildings display this wonderful decorative plaster.
6. Way of speaking (as used by a particular set of people)

Answer: Lance

PAR + Lance = Parlance.

Parlance means "words and phrases used by a particular group of people, often professionals such as lawyers or engineers".

The word parlance derives from the Old French "parler" meaning "speak".
7. Leaving a vehicle in a specified spot

Answer: King

PAR + King = Parking.

There are a number of ways of parking a car, including driving forward into a space, reversing into a space, and parallel parking.

Although nothing is supposed to happen when a player lands on the Free Parking space on a Monopoly board, a standard "house rule" often employed states that any fees or taxes paid by players during the course of a game will be held in a separate pot and paid to a player landing on the Free Parking space.
8. Join in (with others)

Answer: Take

PAR + Take = Partake.

Partake means "to take part in a particular venture or undertaking, whether this be onerous (e.g. cleaning the house) or pleasurable (e.g. eating birthday cake)".

It is sometimes that case that injured sports team members who have not had the opportunity to help their team win a trophy feel that they should not partake in the after-match celebrations.
9. Colourful bird

Answer: Rot

PAR + Rot = Parrot.

Mostly found in Australasia and South America, parrots are also known by the scientific name Psittaciformes.

Parrots can be taught to mimic the human voice, and some have even been known to be able to sing various songs!
10. Member of the clergy

Answer: Son

PAR + Son = Parson.

A parson may also be referred to as a vicar, rector, or priest, and will generally be in charge of a church within a particular parish (small administrative district).

Completely unrelated to the member of the clergy, a "parson's nose" is the end part of the tail of a cooked chicken or other fowl!
