Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Start with a word of six letters. A polite word used to express a request.

Answer: please

Instead of writing 'You are requested to do this work.', we can say 'Please do this work.'

2. Drop a letter. A contract renting land.

Answer: lease

When a land is rented, the borrower uses the land for a certain amount of time for a certain sum of money.

3. Drop another letter and unscramble. A marine carnivore, commonly found in the Arctic regions.

Answer: seal

In the Arctic regions, seals were often hunted as their fat was used to light lamps. They are also hunted for food. They are Pinnipeds. They commonly eat fish.

4. Drop yet another letter. A body of water.

Answer: sea

The three movements that can be seen in the seawater are tides, waves and currents. Rivers mix with the sea at their mouths. Seas support a variety of aquatic organisms.

5. Finally, drop another letter and unscramble. A conjunction.

Answer: as

'As' is a synonym of 'because'. An example of a sentence using 'as' is 'He missed the programme as he was sick'. 'As' is mostly used as an adverb of reason.

6. Start again with a word of five letters. Dry seeds that are eaten by humans (in singular form).

Answer: grain

Commonly eaten grains are rice, wheat, barley, millets, etc. Millet is generally eaten in dry areas while rice is eaten in wet areas (since rice requires much rainfall).

7. Drop a letter. Synonym of profit.

Answer: gain

A merchant is said to profit if the sale price of a product is greater than its cost price. If the cost price is greater than the sale price, the merchant is said to have a loss.

8. Drop another letter. A machine used to quickly separate cotton fibres from cotton seeds.

Answer: gin

Cotton fabrics are commonly used in summer as they help to keep us cool. Cotton gins allow for greater production of cotton fibre than does separating them by hand. Gin is also a spirit whose predominant flavour is derived from juniper berries.

9. Drop yet another letter. A preposition.

Answer: in

A preposition denotes the position of a noun or pronoun in respect to another noun or pronoun. A sentence using 'in' is: 'The money was kept in the almirah.'

10. Finally, drop a letter. Only pronoun with which 'am' can be present.

Answer: I

'I' is the first person singular pronoun. When a sentence is changed from the active voice to the passive voice, 'I' changes to 'me'.
