Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. That pit boss will "comp" anybody, so his tables won't be empty.

Answer: Company

... will "COMP" ANYbody...

"Comp" is a term I have learned from watching TV shows set in Las Vegas. It is short for "complimentary" and refers to the practice of giving "freebies" to certain gamblers to encourage them to keep gambling.

2. Eric, row downstream to meet those people.

Answer: Crowd

EriC ROW Downstream....

Crowds are often a source of misery, instead of a comfort, to people like me who feel uncomfortable when surrounded by people.

3. Jude, press Ione's apron to help cheer her up.

Answer: Depression

JuDE PRESS IONe's...

Depression is unlikely to be cured by a freshly ironed apron, but if one is just a bit sad such a thing might help. Ione is a girl's name from the Greek, and the original was a sea nymph.

4. That group of boys is big, Angela. Let's take another route.

Answer: Gang

... is biG ANGela...

Street gangs can be dangerous, but the word can also refer to a group of workmen or a bunch of kids who like to play together.

Note that although "group" is a word related to "company" it is not hidden. In this case it is the indicator to look for a "company" word instead of a "misery" one.

5. Is the miser able to change your mood?

Answer: Miserable

... the MISER ABLE to...

Misers generally have the sort of personality that might make those around them miserable, especially when it comes to picking up the tab at the end of a night on the town.

6. Don't get lost little Mo. Be sure to hold my hand at the fair.

Answer: Mob

... little MO. Be ...

It would be too bad to find an angry mob at a fair, which should be a place for happy crowds. Mobs can be destructive and violent.

7. Don't worry about the river. We can swim across or row in the boat.

Answer: Sorrow

... swim acrosS OR ROW in ...

Sorrow is usually a deep emotion, felt after the loss of a loved one or at the end of a meaningful phase of one's life.

8. What is the class after Anthro., Nguyen? Do you know if it is full?

Answer: Throng

... AnTHRO., NGuyen ...

Throng is a word that I associate with epic movies set in Biblical times, when vast multitudes gather to listen to a prophet or other hero.

Anthro. is used here as an abbreviation for Anthropology. Nguyen is a name of Vietnamese origin.

9. Don't rage Dylan! It isn't that bad.

Answer: Tragedy

Don'T RAGE DYlan...

If it really was a tragedy it would be pretty bad, but it seems that Dylan is over-reacting to the situation.

10. Try not to stun Hap. Pin Essie's ribbon on so she doesn't cry.

Answer: Unhappiness

... stUN HAP PIN ESSie's ...

I envision Hap and Essie as a brother and sister in the early part of the 20th century being prepared to take part in some ceremony or another, with mother giving instructions to father about what he should do to keep them happy.
