Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It was Saturday morning, and Angie's little angels were bored with nothing to do. Being a conscientious parent, Angie announced that homework came first. Her son, Michael, disappeared into his room to practice dancing on the head of a pin for his drama presentation, but her daughter, Angelica, asked for help with her homework. In school they were learning about subjects, verbs and objects, and all of the other objects which join together to form what set of words?
2. Michael entered the kitchen and informed his mother that he really wanted to go out and get some exercise by riding around the neighbourhood. What was Michael riding on?
3. Angie looked out the window and saw that it looked like rain. She gave Michael permission to go out but told him that he must put on this article of clothing first. What did Michael have to wear?
4. Finished with her homework, Angelica announced that she too wanted to go outside, but just then a loud crash of thunder was heard. Afraid of thunder, her pretty eyes immediately clouded over with worry. To distract her, Angie offered to put Angelica's hair in a French Braid, something that she had wanted to try for a while. What was it that Angie was doing to her daughter's hair?
5. Michael came in at that point, dripping wet from the rain. Unlike his sister he really liked a thunder storm, and he was singing "Raindrops on Roses" from "The Sound of Music". His singing made his sister giggle, but another crash of thunder left her frightened again. In an attempt to distract her from her fear, Michael turned up the volume on his singing. Angie smiled with pride at the way her son could really ______ it out. What expression was Angie thinking of?
6. That crash of thunder marked the passing of the worst of the storm, although the rain continued to fall. Fortunately Angie had a vast number of craft activities in her repertoire, to help keep the children occupied. What word, infrequently used with this meaning, could be used to describe Angie's assortment of craft ideas?
7. Angie got out the modeling clay and encouraged her children to make different shapes with it. They took great pleasure in rolling and stretching it, and moulding it into various shapes. What is another word for the process of shaping the clay?
8. Feeling especially creative, Michael decided to get a knife from the drawer (when Angie wasn't looking of course). He felt that he could create even better shapes if he cut the clay, but his hand slipped and he ended up cutting himself instead. What did Michael get on the clay?
9. Upset because her brother was hurt, Angelica ran to her room to get a candy to share with him. The candies she had were round with holes in the middle, and although they came in all different flavours, the ones she had were butterscotch. What did Angelica give her brother?
10. Once Michael was bandaged and the crafts put away, Angie's thoughts turned, as they often did, to the thoughts of having more children. She was worried that the house wasn't big enough, and accepted the fact that she would have to add an extension to the house first. The problem with that was that she didn't want to take away any of their playing space in the yard. The only real solution to that problem was to build up, she realized. What was Angie going to add to her house?
