Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Charles Widmore

Charles Widmore is initially distraught at the presence of Ben within the camp. However, Charles comforts young Ben at his bedside. Ben conveys his desire to remain with the Others. Charles replies, "Just because you're living with them (the DHARMA Initiative) doesn't mean you can't be one of us. You should be dead, Benjamin. But this island... it saved your life."

Answer: "I was going back... to be judged."

Ben tells John, with some regret, "I broke the rules, John. I came back to the island. I was going to answer for what I'd done. I was going back... to be judged."

3. The other survivors of Ajira Flight 316 are at work on the beach. Ben offers his assistance, but he is told that it is not needed. Who approaches Ben and says, "How you feeling, my friend?"

Answer: Caesar

Caesar asks Ben about his health. Ben laments that, "Like someone hit me with an oar, but I'll live." Caesar is curious about John. Ben starts to plant some seeds of doubt regarding John's sanity and motives. However, Caesar reveals a shotgun and then reassures Ben by saying, "I have your back."

4. In a flashback, Ben has been assigned to assassinate Rousseau. He is accompanied by a young Ethan, who exhibits no reservations to commit murder. What prompts Ben to abandon his assignment?

Answer: Ben is reluctant to murder the newborn Alex.

As Ben enters Rousseau's tent, he suddenly feels compassion for the baby. He takes Alex with him and tells Rousseau, "Be grateful you're still alive. Now you listen to me. If you try to follow me or if you ever come looking for me, I'll kill you. And if you want your child to live, every time you hear whispers, you run the other way."

Answer: Elephant in the room

John coaxes Ben into talking about his murder by saying, "Well, Ben, I was hoping that you and I could talk about the elephant in the room." Ben states the obvious in reply, " I assume you're referring to the fact that I killed you."

6. Ben and John have made their way to the main island. As they approach Ben's house on the island, a light appears from what was Alex's room. Who is in the room?

Answer: Sun and Frank

Ben cautiously enters his old home. The game of "Risk" is still on the table. The suspense builds as Ben moves down the hallway. Ben thrusts open the door only to find a startled Sun. Frank enters the room and asks, "What are you doing here?" Ben replies, "This used to be my house. I saw a light turned on. What are the two of you doing in here?" Frank goes on to explain that Christian Shephard told them to remain in the room until John arrived.

7. Ben has purportedly traveled to the main island with John with a singular purpose in mind. In order to accomplish this purpose, with whom or what must Ben meet?

Answer: the monster

Apparently, the smoke monster is one of the conduits though which the island may communicate. Ben holds the secret of unleashing the monster and proceeds to do so by entering a hidden room and drains the contents of a pool of murky water. Ben watches the water descend and says, "I'll be outside."

Answer: He left the island regularly and had a daughter with an outsider.

Charles Widmore is being escorted off the island in handcuffs. He is to leave on the submarine. Ben arrives to bid his own farewell. He tells Charles, "You left the island regularly. You had a daughter with an outsider. You broke the rules, Charles." Further, Ben insists that Charles made a mistake in wanting Alex dead. Charles replies, "I hope you're right, Benjamin, because if you aren't, and it is the island that wants her dead, she'll be dead. And one day, you'll be standing where I'm standing now. You'll be the one being banished, and then you'll finally realize that you cannot fight the inevitable. I'll be seeing you, boy."

Answer: Our Mutual Friend

Before Ben is to exact his revenge, he places a call to Charles Widmore to inform Charles of his intent to murder Penny. Charles asks Ben what he is planning to do. Ben replies, "Kill your daughter. In fact, I'm looking at Our Mutual Friend right now." Charles doesn't know what Ben is talking about. Ben explains, "It's the name of the boat that Penny's on."

10. John leads Ben to a path under the Temple. Therein, Ben meets a vision of Alex. What orders does Alex give to Ben?

Answer: Ben must listen to John and follow his every order.

Underneath the Temple, Ben stumbles into a room below the surface. There are ancient glyphs carved in the walls. Suddenly columns of smoke emanate from the grate on the floor, enveloping Ben. Within the layers of smoke are images and voices from Ben's past. Alex appears and tells Ben, "I know that you're already planning to kill John again, and I want you to know that if you so much as touch him, I will hunt you down and destroy you. You will listen to every word John Locke says, and you will follow his every order. Do you understand?" Ben nods in agreement, fearing for his life.

When Ben emerges, John asks what happened. Ben says, "It let me live."
