Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Amazing and impressive in a way that mesmerizes you

Answer: Stupendous

Something stupendous can leave you stupefied. That means it amazes you, not makes you stupid. Although, something stupendous can make you act stupidly if you are too distracted by it.

2. Very rare and hard to come by or non-existent

Answer: Scarce

Scarce refers to something that is uncommon or hard to get in a certain area. Water is scarce in a desert. Scarce should not be confused with sparse, which means thinly spread.

3. A piece of metal with a point at the end of it

Answer: Spike

Spikes can be dangerous if they are too pointy and you should be careful around them. Spikes can also be called barbs or prongs. Spike can also be a verb which means to poke with a spike.

4. Very flavorful but not necessarily hot

Answer: Spicy

Spicy refers to food that has a lot of spices and herbs in it. Although commonly used to mean hot (like in the phrase hot and spicy), spicy foods do not have to be hot like chili peppers.

5. A person who explores caves as a hobby

Answer: Spelunker

A spelunker is a person who frequently explores caves for fun. Sometimes a spelunker will find a rare artifact, cave painting or gems when exploring a cave.

6. An income a worker earns each pay period

Answer: Salary

Salary comes from the Latin word for salt because in ancient times salt was as valuable as money. A person's salary typically refers to how much an employee earns each pay period. Someone who is salaried usually earns the same amount of money no matter how much they work, unlike an employee who gets paid hourly.

7. A large arena where professional sports are played

Answer: Stadium

Stadiums are large, usually outdoor, arenas where major professional sports are played like American football, soccer and baseball. Stadiums usually hold thousands of people and seating can be quite expensive for major events like the US Super Bowl.

8. A health facility where people go to relax

Answer: Spa

Spas get their name from the Belgian town of Spa which is famous for its mineral springs. Spas typically offer services like massages, facials and mud baths. These services are designed to help people relieve their stress and patrons may see benefits to their health as a result.

9. Infatuated with someone greatly

Answer: Smitten

To be smitten with someone means that you are infatuated with someone. This is sometimes called puppy love as being smitten is considered to be less serious than being in true love.

10. A type of open shoe often worn at the beach

Answer: Sandal

Sandals are traditionally made of leather and worn to the beach or during the summertime. Sandals are different than flip flops because sandals usually have a strap around the heel while flip flops do not.
