Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is a word for a tight-fitting 'hat' that is usually made of yarn or cloth?

Answer: Beanie

Some speculate that "bean" meant head, and adding an "ie" meant something to do with the head. This word originated in America in the 1940s.

2. What tiny round objects are used to make necklaces and jewelry?

Answer: Beads

Ever since ancient times, people have used beads to make jewelry. Today, they are also used for various crafts, such as making miniature animals.

3. What do you call the mouth of a bird?

Answer: Beak

Different but somewhat similar bird beaks inspired Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. He reasoned that all the birds descended from a common kind of ancestor.

4. What is something sandy you find at the seaside?

Answer: Beach

Often, people go to a beach in the summer to swim or tan themselves (don't go without sunscreen though!). Little do they know that beaches can grow or shrink by tens of feet in their lifetime!

5. What do you call facial hair on men?

Answer: Beard

Many men are clean-shaven (beardless), but many also wear beards or mustaches. Barber shops can offer to shave or trim your beard too.

6. You'll probably only know this if you read old books--what is an old fashioned word for "boyfriend"?

Answer: Beau

The plural of "beau" is "beaux". In the series "Little House on the Prairie" by Laura Ingalls (Wilder), she gets teased because of her beau, Almanzo Wilder.

7. What is a word for the messenger or deliverer of a letter?

Answer: Bearer

A bearer could also be a deliverer of various things or even a carrier of sedans (which are seats carried by other people). People used pigeons as letter-carriers before there were post offices. That must have been the fastest way to send letters because mail delivery was pretty unreliable back then.

8. What is a word meaning 'to hit with force'?

Answer: Beat

A beater is used for baking while a beating is hitting someone forcefully over and over. A beat could also mean a heart beat. Musically, a beat stands for a unit of time, usually a crotchet.

9. What might you call a ray of light?

Answer: Beacon

In literature, the ray of light sent out by a lighthouse is sometimes characterized as "a beacon of hope for the (poor) sailors." Today, a beacon could also be defined as "a radio transmitter emitting signals to guide aircraft" (Merriam Webster).

10. Which of the following is considered one of the apparatus in women's artistic gymastics?

Answer: Beam

Women's artistic gymnastics include the following apparatus: balance beam, uneven bars, vault, and floor. Men's on the other hand use the floor, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar.
