My Way Trivia Quiz

Answer: Freeway

In the United Kingdom, this type of road would be called a motorway. Freeways are characterized by having separate lanes for each direction and a median as well as being free of intersections. Access is through on- and off-ramps.

Answer: Taxiway

The connecting strips of concrete leading airplanes between the terminal building and the runways are called taxiways. Taxiing is the movement of aircraft on the ground on their own power; planes being pushed or pulled are not considered taxiing. In contrast to runways which bear a numerical designation, taxiways are identified by letter designations.

Answer: Skyway

Also referred to as sky bridges, skywalks and catwalks, skyways provide quick means of transfer between buildings on opposite sides of an obstacle such as a road. In some cases, skyways are also added to pairs or groups of skyscrapers to avoid having to use the elevators all the way down to the ground floor and then back up. Beyond their utilitarian value, they are often architectural highlights, constructed with ample glass and special highlights.

Answer: Causeway

Causeways are elevated roadways or pathways connecting across shallow water or wetlands. They are most often constructed atop dams or dikes, but causeway bridges, frequently made of wood, also exist. A characteristic of a causeway is the fact that it is located only slightly above the water and passage under it is not foreseen.

Answer: Fairway

The fairway is the main playing area of each golf hole. Ideally, a player will hit the fairway with his first stroke (except on a par 3 hole where the goal is to directly hit the green) and then play towards the green before putting the ball into the hole. Things, however, don't usually work right during golf, so players will spend quite some time hitting from the rough or the sand traps or playing additional strokes after losing a ball in the water.

Answer: Midway

Midways are the ancestors of today's video game arcades, offering simple, short and relatively cheap games of skill to those who want to try their hand. Often looking deceptively easy, most midway games actually require a huge amount of both skill and chance to win. However, most winners walk away proudly, clutching a huge stuffed animal.

Answer: sway

While "sway" is mostly used as a verb, it can also be a noun. It can mean the power to influence someone or a typically uncontrolled sideways movement of a ship or other body. Commonly, the word is used to describe the gait of an intoxicated person, as evidenced even in the Bible: "The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock" (Isaiah 24:20).

Answer: Stowaway

In spite of all security, stowaways are still common, especially at sea. Hidden in freight containers, illegal immigrants are frequently transported to Europe and North America this way without adequate food, water or sanitation, and death rates are high.

The chance of surviving as a stowaway on an airplane, however, are even lower - most who try freeze to death or suffocate in the thin air at high altitudes.

Answer: Leeway

In nautical parlance, leeway is actually a measurement for a deviation in a ship's course from the actual steered course due to wind. If not correcting for wind, a ship will slowly drift away from the wind, arriving well leeward of the projected target.

In common speech, however, "leeway" is used to indicate freedom of choice, especially given to someone in a subordinate position who gets greater self-determination and choice than normally expected for the position.

Answer: Caraway

Caraway seeds are used as spices, especially in Mediterranean cuisine. They are also used in Central Europe with some potato dishes and as a baking spice in strong, aromatic breads. Various liquors are also flavored with this seed. The plant itself grows easily in sunny, dry spots and, as a biennial, can quickly proliferate if the summer after planting it is warm and dry.
