Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "I think the prisoner lowered himself over the wall with a rope," Agent Tom Swift said ________.

Answer: condescendingly

The con had descended down the wall. Tom knew where the bad guy started his escape, but now Tom needed to follow him!

2. "Hurry up and get these bloodhounds on the trail," Tom Swift barked, ________.

Answer: doggedly

A double pun! Tom showed he could bear up under almost any animal joke.

3. Tom Swift, Agent 006, decided to leave the bloodhounds and fly in an aircraft after the bad guy. "I'll get him faster by parachuting," Tom ________.

Answer: explained

After he ex-planed, Tom landed in a boat as secret agents do, but not a power boat unfortunately. "All this rowing makes my hands sore," Tom said callously.

4. Tom Swift, Agent 006, had parachuted from a plane into a boat. But now there were more problems. "This boat is leaking," said Tom, ________.

Answer: balefully

Tom got busy with a bucket, baling out the boat, and soon arrived on shore without sinking. He saw a little shack with a low, flickering light, as if someone was hiding inside and didn't want to be discovered. "I don't think he wants me to see him," Tom said dimly. But before he could get there, the light went out. "Someone was definitely hiding," Tom said darkly.

Answer: enterprisingly

He enters because he pries the window, but the bad guy has already escaped. Tom started to feel it was time to take a rest. Her Majesty's service had provided him with all the funds he needed, but he was no longer where pounds or euros would be of value. Fortunately, he met a man walking along a steep bank.

Answer: noteworthily

After learning the worth of a local banknote, Tom could pay for whatever he needed. He had spent a busy day chasing a bad guy to save the world, and it was time to take a break. "The criminal is probably spending the night camping in the woods, and not traveling after dark," said Tom, contentedly. Perhaps it was time for Tom to dress up and attend a party, as secret agents often do. He changed into his hair, combed his tuxedo and admired himself triumphantly in the mirror of his little foreign car.

Answer: superficially

The fish was super. Naturally, beautiful women hovered around Agent 006, like candles around a moth, and he enjoyed their conversation.

8. Tom Swift, Agent 006, met a young lady at the party, who wanted him to help her change her clothes. "May I help you into this negligee?" said Tom Swift to the young lady, ________.

Answer: transparently

Her clothing was see-through. But the work of a secret agent never ends. Tom had a fresh idea where the bad guy might have been hiding.

9. Tom Swift, Agent 006, had a new idea where the bad guy might be. "I think he has concealed himself on that flat rock that sticks out from the cliff," Tom Swift ________.

Answer: alleged

Tom was right, the bad guy was hiding on a ledge. Finally, Tom had managed to catch and corner him!

10. "We've got you now," said Tom Swift, ________.

Answer: arrestingly

And so goes a day's work in the life of a super spy like Tom Swift, as he arrested the criminal. Proudly, he got in his foreign car and drove away in triumph, back to England -- now a real possibility due to the tunnel from France, without even needing a ferry. "I could have got home anyway, even if I needed to float across the channel," Tom said, buoyantly.
