Answer: District 5

Foxface was from District 5, a district that specialized in electrical power. Katniss decided to nickname her Foxface, appropriately, because her face was like a fox; her real name was never revealed. Katniss admired her and believed they could have been allies had the circumstances been different. Foxface died when she ate poisonous berries called Nightlock. Peeta had set them out to eat not knowing they were poisonous. Foxface got to them first, ate them, and died. She came in fourth place in the games.

Lady was the goat Katniss bought for Prim. In the arena, Katniss told Peeta that she got the money by selling her mother's silver locket.

From Quiz "Hunger Games": Do You Know It All?

Answer: A combination of jabberjays and mockingbirds.

Mockingjays are a combination of jabberjays and mockingbirds. The Capitol created jabberjays to spy on rebels because jabberjays can repeat conversations they heard. However, very soon the rebels realized this and had many fake conversations, making jabberjays useless. So, jabberjays were released into the wild, where they mated with mockingbirds to create mockingjays. Mockingjays cannot talk, but they can mimic melodies.
