Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the fastest land animal?

Answer: Cheetah

A cheetah can run 60-70 miles per hour. The fastest humans can not even run close to that!

2. Which of these is the fastest fish?

Answer: Sailfish

Although it is hard to measure the speed of fish, the sailfish is believed to be the fastest fish. It can apparently swim 68 miles per hour over short periods.

3. What is the fastest bird?

Answer: Peregrine Falcon

The Peregrine Falcon is not only the fastest bird, but it is also the fastest creature on the planet!

4. Which of these is the shortest time span?

Answer: Decade

A decade, or ten years, is the shortest out of those four. A century is 100 years, a millennium is 1,000 years, and a dozen years is 12 years.

5. Which of these is the shortest measurement of length?

Answer: Centimetre

The inch is about 2.5 centimetres. The meter is way bigger than both the centimeter and the inch. A gram is not a measurement of length.

The measurement is spelled '(centi)meter' in the US. 'Gramme' is spelled 'gram' in the US.

6. Which of these words best completes this sentence grammatically: He _______ dodged the speeding car.

Answer: quickly

'He quickly dodged the car' is the only grammatically correct sentence.

7. Which of these things most likely takes up the least time?

Answer: Taking a shower

Taking a shower can be done within 3-10 minutes. Most books would take at least an hour to read. An average movie length is from 1 hour 30 minutes to 3 hours. Driving from LA (Los Angeles) to New York would take several days.

8. What is the shortest sentence in the English language?

Answer: Go!

"Go" or "Go!" is actually the shortest sentence. Since it is a command the subject is already understood. Before this people thought "I am" was the shortest sentence, but that has been proved incorrect. "A" is not a sentence because it does not follow the rules of grammar.

9. Of the following, who was the shortest U.S. president?

Answer: James Madison

George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were actually pretty tall. James Madison, however, was only five feet, four inches tall.

10. Which of the following US presidents served for the shortest amount of time?

Answer: William Henry Harrison

William Henry Harrison was only in office for 32 days. He got pneumonia and never recovered.
