Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. To what country does Nathan Price take his wife and daughters?

Answer: Congo

Nathan is a Baptist missionary. He believes that it is his calling to save the souls of Africa.

2. What are the names of the four Price daughters from oldest to youngest?

Answer: Rachel, Leah, Adah, and Ruth May

The ironic thing about Rachel and Leah is that Rachel is the oldest, unlike the biblical story of Jacob.

3. What is the name of the parish's parrot?

Answer: Methuselah

Nathan highly dislikes the bird because it is loud and irreverent. He tries to let it go, but it stays nearby, so the Prices still consider it to be their pet.

4. Who teaches the parrot how to curse?

Answer: Orleanna Price

She begins cursing when she realizes that the cake mixes that she brought for her daughters' birthdays have hardened into bricks. Nathan blames the mishap on his daughters and punishes the older three.

5. What punishment is commonly given to the oldest three Price sisters?

Answer: "The verse"

Nathan gives the offender a Bible verse and makes her copy that verse, as well as the next ninety-nine verses in the Bible. They all dread getting the verse.

6. Which sister rarely speaks?

Answer: Adah

Adah begins speaking near the end of the book, but throughout most of the novel she only speaks a few words when she is very angry. When Adah is much younger, she uses "a whole month's ration of words" to question the existence of God in Sunday school.

7. Who does Anatole marry?

Answer: Leah

Anatole is the local school-teacher when the Prices live in the Congo. Elisabet is his aunt and Pascal is a small village boy who is friends with Leah.

8. Reverend Price supports the education of females.

Answer: False

Reverend Price says that the education of females is like pouring water in a good shoe: it's harder to see which is worse, the fact that the shoe is ruined or that the water is wasted.

9. Who are the only two Prices to return to the United States right away?

Answer: Orleanna and Adah

Nathan stays in Congo despite being hated by the Congolese. Ruth May dies while in Congo, and Rachel and Leah get married.

10. Who goes to college to become a doctor?

Answer: Adah

Despite her father's orders, Adah passes the entrance examination with flying colors and goes on to become a doctor. Despite her limited education, Adah does not miss a single question in the mathematics section.
