Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, what would a train normally move along?

Answer: rail

Most trains move along a rail, hence the term railway. Some very fast trains move ABOVE the rail.

2. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, what is a person who tells fibs?

Answer: liar

Although lying is usually not nice, sometimes a 'white lie' may be used to avoid hurting someone.

3. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, what is a type of pathway?

Answer: trail

A trail is usually not maintained, like a road. Perhaps the best known trail in the USA is the Oregon Trail, stretching from Missouri to Oregon.

4. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, name a method of moving a ship or boat.

Answer: sail

Sails (and oars) were among the first methods of moving across the water. A bit of a problem was when there was no wind, and you found yourelf becalmed in the doldrums.

5. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, name one of the seven deadly sins.

Answer: lust

Apart from lust, the other deadly sins are gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. Be a better person and avoid them.

6. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, what do we often take shopping with us so we remember what to buy?

Answer: list

It's a good idea to make a list of what we want to buy, and stick to it. Otherwise, impulse buying may make us spend more than we need to.

7. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, where do you finish if you are fifth in a race with five people?

Answer: last

Someone always has to finish last. The main thing is to have a go! :-)

8. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, name the first King of Israel.

Answer: Saul

Saul was the first King of Israel, perhaps not as well known as his successors, David (of the story David and Goliath) and Solomon (and Bathsheba).

9. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, what is something we may add to food?

Answer: salt

Too much salt is not good for us, but we need some in our diet. The chemical formula for salt is NaCl (sodium chloride) and the sodium and chlorine that make it up are both dangerous by themselves, but not in this combination. Strange, huh?

10. Using the letters in AUSTRALIA, what is another name for a lasso?

Answer: lariat

Lasso, riata and lariat are all names for the rope used by cowboys to catch livestock. Of course, like any rope, there are many other uses.
