Hey Four I's! I'd Like a Word With You (Part 4) Quiz

Answer: Verb

In grammar, an infinitive represents a verb's action or state without being conjugated for tense, mood, or subject; the verb is often preceded by the word "to." Infinitives can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs in a sentence. A bare infinitive does not have the word "to" as in "I can fly" or "He made her laugh." The to-infinitive does use the word "to" before the base verb as in "I want to go" or "She decided to eat."

Answer: False

It's the opposite. She never writes the word "sensibilities" but uses the word "sensibility" in the text at least nine times, not including the title. The first instance is in Chapter 1: "Elinor saw, with concern, the excess of her sister's sensibility; but by Mrs. Dashwood it was valued and cherished." The final time she uses it is in Chapter 49: "Mrs. Ferrars was the most unfortunate of women--poor Fanny had suffered agonies of sensibility--and he considered the existence of each, under such a blow, with grateful wonder." In both case the word "sensibility", refers to one's emotional awareness, and how much a person is affected by feelings and experiences. That is in somewhat of a contrast to the word "sense" which in the novel refers to the use of one's reason, restraint-their practicality and rational thought.

Answer: Immobilizing

Parking brakes, aka emergency brakes, are used to keep a motor vehicle immobilized when it is parked. It is a system that operates separately from the main hydraulic brakes. It is engaged manually by the driver, and is thus also called the hand brake. Splints are rigid medical devices used to immobilize an injured part of the body in order to prevent it from suffering further damage during the healing process. An arm or leg cast is an example.

Answer: Very very softly

Pianississimo is abbreviated as ppp in musical notation, and indicates that the music be played very very softly, that is to say even softer than pianissimo (pp) which indicates very softly.

Answer: Miniaturization

Ant-Man, Scott Lang/Hank Pym are the names of the Marvel superhero character Ant-Man, who can miniaturize to infinitesimally small size often while retaining his human strength. He can also become Giant-Man.
Ray Palmer is the alter ego of The Atom, a DC Comics superhero who can also shrink to subatomic size via a special lens that compresses his mass.
The Avengers' Janet van Dyne, aka Wasp, can miniaturize to the size of an insect while growing wings and stinging villains with bio-electric blasts.
Rita Farr's superhero name is Elasti-Girl, of DC Comics' The Doom Patrol who can shrink but also stretch and grow; also she could change the size and shape of objects she touches. One can imagine how handy that could be.
Karen Beecher-Duncan of the Teen Titans, in the DC Comics universe, goes by the moniker Bumblebee, as she miniaturizes to the size of a bee, while acquiring super speed and super strength.
Shrinking Violet, nee Salu Digby of the Legion of Super-Heroes in DC Comics, can miniaturize for combat and stealth operations.

Answer: Captain Benjamin Pierce

In M*A*S*H*'s 19th episode of Season 6 (January 30, 1978), titled "What's Up, Doc?" Major Margaret Houlihan, aka "Hot Lips," (actress Loretta Swit) thinks she might be pregnant because she feels a degree of irritability. Hormonal fluctuations occur during pregnancy, and can influence mood and emotional regulation, leading to irritability and mood swings. Hawkeye Pierce, played by Alan Alda, does react with that quip, which reflects their history of adversity toward each other, often tempered however, by their coming around and softening with mutual support. And indeed, he does here offer support and conducts a rabbit test.

Answer: Civilization

The first Sid Meier's "Civilization" was released in 1991. The sixth installment "Civilization VI" came out in 2016. Essentially players take on the role of a civilization from throughout history, and then try to dominate the entire map, a la "Risk" but the ways in which that are done are vastly more sophisticated. You can conquer the world militarily, culturally, technologically, or in other ways. And the maps are always different as well.

Answer: Fifth Amendment

In the United States, the Fifth Amendment protects people from having to testify against themselves in a court of law. So, during legal proceedings, an individual can refuse to answer a question that might incriminate them. They utter the refrain that we've all seen on TV, "I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me." This is known as "pleading the Fifth."

Answer: Apocryphal

From the Latin "verisimilitude" meaning "likeness to truth," verisimilitude means just that, the appearance or semblance of truth; authenticity. Sempiternity, probity, and hypotaxis are all words that are very similar in meaning to that: Sempiternity generally means everlasting or eternal, but can have a connotation of enduring truthfulness. Hypotaxis is a literary word that can mean the logical use of ideas, that adds up to a sense of realism in narrative structure. Probity is associated with authenticity in its uprightness. Apocryphal, however means of suspect authenticity, often used to describe tales that are widely believed but not true.

Answer: Cack-handedness

Cack-handedness is an informal British term indicating a quality of being so clumsy, awkward, and lacking dexterity, that it makes for an ineptitude in successfully performing a task, an infeasibility. "Cack-handedness" derives from the word "cack," a slang term since at least the mid-19th century, for excrement, suggesting that some people tend to make a mess of things.
The other answer choices are the opposite of "infeasibility" they connote suitability, viability.
