Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Later + Midday = time from lunchtime to evening

Answer: afternoon

After + noon = afternoon. The afternoon is often the time of day when children are busy with activities or having a rest break.

2. Toward the rear + move smoothly = lapse

Answer: backslide

Back + slide = backslide. One who backslides falls back into old ways of doing things that were not positive ways.

3. A road vehicle + small area of still water = people making a regular journey in a single vehicle

Answer: carpool

Car + pool = carpool. Carpools are a way to help people going to the same place save on fuel by sharing the ride.

4. Period of 24 hours as a unit of time + interruption of continuity = dawn

Answer: daybreak

Day + break = daybreak. Daybreak is a special time when the sun comes up and pleases us with light and beauty.

5. Soil + person under the protection of the court = toward the 3rd planet from the sun

Answer: earthward

Earth + ward = earthward. Imagine the spectacular view that is seen by astronauts when they look earthward.

6. Combustion + confirmation = able to withstand great heat

Answer: fireproof

Fire + proof = fireproof. Areas that are fireproof make the Fire Department very happy.

7. Most important item of its kind + be positioned in a particular place = main seating area at racetracks or sports stadiums

Answer: grandstand

Grand + stand = grandstand. Sitting in the grandstand is a wonderful way to view the activity that is happening on the field or track.

Answer: highway

High + way = highway. A highway is usually the fastest way to drive to a place that is far away.
