Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Mom, will you _____ me this doll please?"

Answer: Buy

If you want to pay for the doll from a store, you buy it. Not "by", as in "Living by the shore". Not "bye", as in "Bye, Jason". And "bi" is not a word, it is a prefix.

2. I have _____ dogs in the house.

Answer: Two

If I have 2 dogs in the house, then I have "two" dogs. Not "to", as in "Going to school". Not "too", as in "I want a cupcake, too".

3. Mark ________ his bike down the road.

Answer: Pedals

To ride the bike down a road, you'll need to "pedal" it. Not "petal", as in "This flower has pretty petals". Not "peddle", as in "Merchants peddle in town". And "paddle" is not a homophone of "pedal".

4. Sarah likes to _______ pretty pink skirts.

Answer: Wear

To dress yourself, you "wear" clothes. Not "where", as in "Where are you?". Not "ware" as in "Please buy my wares". And "were" is not a homophone of "wear".

5. I just ________ on the bus today.

Answer: Rode

If you traveled on a bus, you "rode" on it. Not "rowed," as in "I rowed the canoe". Not "road," as in "Cars travel on roads."

6. Adam and Alex _________ the ball from Bill.

Answer: Seize

If Adam and Alex grab the ball from Bill, they seize the ball from Bill. "Sees" sort of makes sense, but you do not "sees the ball from Bill" - this is grammatically incorrect. It would have been, "See Bill with the ball". Not "seas", as in "We sailed the Seven Seas".

7. My shoe keeps on rubbing against my _________.

Answer: Heel

The shoe keeps on rubbing against your foot, so "heel" is the right answer. Not "Heal", as in "I'm waiting for my cut to heal". Not "he'll", as in "He'll be all right".

8. "I don't want you to __________ with my things!"

Answer: Meddle

Messing with someone's things is "meddling". Not "medal", as in "The prize for the track event is a gold medal". Not "metal", as in "Silverware is made of metal". And not "mettle", as in "You showed your mettle by not being scared of the bear".

9. I need to _________ my package to see if it is light enough.

Answer: Weigh

If you need to see how heavy the package is, you need to "weigh" it. Not "way", as in "Which way to the city?". Not "whey", as in "There is whey in cheese".

10. Have you tried Kristen and Katie's delicious strawberries from _________ garden?

Answer: Their

The garden belongs to Kristen and Katie, so the garden is "theirs". Not "there", as in "What's over there?". Not "they're", as in "They're my friends".
