1. Which letter may be added at the beginning of the word "ALL" in order to create a meaningful English dictionary word?

Answer: All of these

Hall, mall and wall are all meaningful English words and so are ball, call, fall, gall, pall and tall.

2. Which of the following continent names contains the most appearances of the letter A?

Answer: Australia

All these continent names start and end with an A. Australia is the only one with three A's. So is Antarctica which was not included as one of the answers. The remaining continent, Europe, starts and ends with an E.

Outfield misses an "A".

4. Please write down the words for the ten digits from zero to nine. Which is the letter that ends four of these words?

Answer: E

This may have taken some of your time and patience, but I hope you found out that it is the letter E that ends the words "one", "three", "five" and "nine".
