Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. An agreement between two or more nations, sometimes used to end a war.

Answer: Treaty

Think of all the treaties you had to memorize in history class!

2. A fold in a skirt or a shirt front.

Answer: Pleat

Pleat is derived from the Latin plictum, meaning fold. Common types of pleats are the knife pleat and the box pleat.

3. Sheepish talk.

Answer: Bleat

Having spent my childhood in Wales, I'm fond of the sound of sheep bleating.

4. If I have to say it again, I'll just be ____________ myself. What's the missing word?

Answer: Repeating

Of course, I could be reiterating what I said, but reiterating doesn't contain the word eat.

5. This chappie was a court musician accused of having an affair with Anne Boleyn.

Answer: Mark Smeaton

Mark Smeaton was a man of humble birth who was accused along with three others of being a lover of Anne Boleyn. Of the four charged, he was the only one who entered a guilty plea. It is suspected that he did so under duress, because Thomas Cromwell, anxious to retain the favour of Henry VIII, was determined to destroy Anne Boleyn by fair means or foul. Smeaton, who may well have been in love with the queen, is assumed to have thought that the wish was the same as the deed, and did not retract his confession.

6. People who do this never prosper, according to the old saying.

Answer: Cheat

Cheating is not looked upon kindly in any circumstance, whether one is cheating in sports, at cards, or on one's mate! Cheaters, so goes the old saying, never prosper!

Answer: Keaton

The stars are Diane Keaton and Michael Keaton and the movies cited are 'Baby Boom' and 'Mr. Mom'.

8. Arthur Mee, the author who compiled the Children's Encyclopedia once lived on Lanercost Road in this part of the London Borough of Lambeth,

Answer: Streatham

Streatham means the hamlet on the street, and the street is the old Roman road from London to Portslade. One assumes that Streatham in Victoria, Australia was named by a transplanted Streathamite.

9. Evidently, while most mammals have glands that produce this excretion, only humans and horses produce it in quantity!

Answer: Sweat

According to my great-grandmother, "Ladies glow, gentlement perspire and horses sweat." My great-grandmother was a delightful Victorian lady and she had a million pithy sayings like that one.

10. Its scientific name is calluna vulgaris. We know it as _________?

Answer: Heather

Heather can be either white or purple. It is found in many places of the world but is most often associated with Scotland, where it grows in profusion on the rocky hillsides.
