Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. European city needs more.

Answer: rome

Actually, Rome doesn't need more. It is a grand city, one of my favourite, in fact.

2. Airman needs somewhere to dock his boat.

Answer: marina

A boat and a plane - this guy is doing alright for himself!

3. The man dropped his cigar and found an item of clothing.

Answer: cardigan

It was one of those cardigans that your grandmother has knitted for you. You know the ones, always in colours that don't match, and ones that you wouldn't be seen dead in.

4. Sally's name tag changes colour.

Answer: magenta

If such a colour existed, it would probably have another name. Find the name for magenta in that sentence.

Answer: persist

The sprites and priests persist in wearing stripes.

Answer: patterns

Yes, this stern tap dance teacher is seeing some patterns. No one is turning up to her classes!

Answer: dissipate

I'll tell you what else dissipates: my ability to come up with something witty for the interesting information.

10. I used the crop tool to edit my image, as it was the correct code of conduct.

Answer: protocol

I think the correct protocol at the end of a quiz is to thank you for playing, and that I will do.
