Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Alliterative

All, era, Ti and VE with 'it' inserted. You're combining quite a bit here, with 'all' relating to everyone and 'era' being an historic age. Titanium is denoted by the letters Ti while VE is short for victory in Europe towards the end of World War II.

Putting all those together and putting 'it' between all and era creates alliterative, which describes the poetic device of using the same letter to start all, or most, of the words in a line for emphasis.

2. Take the name of one of the sons of Jacob in the bible and text speak for 'see you'. Add the chemical symbol for sulphur and insert 'it' for an Old Testament book.

Answer: Leviticus

Levi, CU and S with 'it' inserted. Jacob had twelve sons for you to choose from but I hope you found the right one. Cu is used as shorthand for 'see you' (it could also be 'copper') with sulphur having the single letter S as its chemical symbol.

Putting 'it' after the v of Levi creates Leviticus, the third book of the Bible, which mainly covers laws.

Answer: Inevitable

In, Eva, B, L and E with 'it' inserted. In is the synonym to out while Eva Braun was, briefly, married to Hitler. B stands for boron while L stands for Luxembourg and E (Espana) for Spain.

The word 'it' had to go after the v of Eva to create the word 'inevitable', meaning something that is sure to happen and is unavoidable.

4. Take a fossil fuel, the chemical symbol for iodine and an antonym for 'off'. Insert 'it' to find a word for 'an alliance, especially of a temporary nature'.

Answer: Coalition

Coal, I and on, with 'it' inserted. Coal is one of the fossil fuels while I is iodine's symbol. On is the opposite of off and adding 'It' after the word coal creates a new word of coalition.

A coalition is often used to describe a group formed by politicians, sometimes of different beliefs, which enables them to form a joint government. It can also refer to military manoeuvres, where soldiers from different countries combine in a common cause. Coalitions, by their nature, tend not to last very long.

5. Take the syllable naming the first tonic note, and the Italian word meaning 'my' (feminine). Add the chemical symbol for nitrogen and insert 'it' for the name of a Roman emperor.

Answer: Domitian

Do, Mia and N with 'it' inserted. Do is the first note, followed by 're', 'mi' and so on, while mia means my in Italian, as in Mamma Mia - my mother. Adding 'n' for nitrogen and putting 'it' after the m of mia creates the name Domitian.

Domitian was emperor from 81-96 CE when he was assassinated. His successor was Nerva, who ruled for only eighteen months, although his rein ended with his (natural) death.

Answer: Remittance

REM, tan and CE with 'it' inserted. Michael Stipe was for many years the lead singer for the band REM and tan is the shade of brown needed. CE stands for common era and putting 'it' after REM creates the word remittance.

A remittance is a payment sent to someone either to help them out or, more often, to pay a bill or account.

7. Take a word for a male person and the chemical symbol for oxygen. Add the abbreviation for British Airways and insert 'it' for a Canadian province.

Answer: Manitoba

Man, O and BA with 'it' inserted. An adult male is a man, oxygen has the symbol 'O' and British Airways is commonly known as BA. Adding 'it' after 'man' creates Manitoba, one of Canada's provinces.

Manitoba borders Ontario to its right and Saskatchewan to its left. Its capital is Winnipeg and it also borders Hudson Bay.

Answer: Committee

CO, mm and tee, with 'it' inserted. Carbon monoxide (one molecule of carbon and one of oxygen) is denoted by CO, while mm stands for millimetre. A tee is the peg on which a golf ball is placed before the first shot at a hole and inserting 'it' before tee creates the word 'committee'.

Committees, when they work properly, are a good way to bring a group of like minded people together to perform a service. Committees run sports clubs, social clubs and many other types of organisation and are usually run by volunteers.

9. Take the prefix meaning 'before or earlier' and the Scottish word for man. Add the word for a charged particle and insert 'it' for a word meaning 'foreboding or presentiment'.

Answer: Premonition

Pre, mon and ion, with 'it' inserted. Pre means before, as in prefix, predict or preview, while the Scots tend to use the letter O where the English use A, creating 'mon' instead of 'man'. A charged particle is an ion and putting the letters 'it' before ion creates the new word premonition.

A premonition is that feeling you get that something is going to happen. Sometimes, maybe even usually, it's something to be afraid of but premonitions can sometimes be good, too.

10. Take a word for something worn on the head and the chemical symbol for uranium. Add a word meaning 'after the due time' and insert 'it' for a word meaning to surrender or give up.

Answer: Capitulate

Cap, U and late with 'it' inserted. Cap was the word needed for the headgear, rather than hat while uranium is denoted by the letter u. If you are overdue, you are late so adding 'it' after the word 'cap' will create the word 'capitulate'.

To capitulate means to admit defeat, either literally as in wartime, or figuratively, when you decide to stop an argument.
