Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: American Red Cross

The American Red Cross wants blood to be donated, so they "agonize over amiable arms". They want people willing to do this, so "altruistic audiences", or people who will do things to help others, will be a benefit if they know about the American Red Cross.

Answer: Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills is known for having big brand names on Rodeo Drive. Bill would want to shop in that atmosphere instead of what he would consider noisy places, (busy bazaars and brutal bedlams).

Answer: Can't be one of these

Cambridge University is located in Great Britain. Colleges can help create an atmosphere of friendship, "cohesion connecting colleagues and comrades". It can also be a hassle to deal with college (cause complications with the completely calm and collegially conscientious).

Answer: doleful

Doleful is an extreme state of glum. Doggerel is burlesque verse. A dinghy is a sailing boat. A dauphin is a direct heir of the throne of France from 1349-1830.

5. Everyone enjoys elaborate emotions. What emotion is an enigma with eunuchs?

Answer: eroticism

A eunuch is a man who has been castrated, most likely for the purpose of becoming a slave. They were not allowed to have any eroticism in their life and it would probably be difficult in any case. Ouch!

6. Fred feels foolish for his fallacy. This falsehood favors fantasy. Fred "felt" febrile. What "feeling" did Fred foreknow?

Answer: feverish

Febrile means feverish, so his feelings were because of a fake fever. Many people fake illnesses and such was the case. Fred's "foreknown" illness was a "fallacy" and a "fantasy".

7. Gems generally generate gladness. What glittering, glimmering, glossy, glitzy, glinting, gleaming, and glorious gemstone is generally glasslike?

Answer: garnet

The garnet is really the only gemstone of the choices. Typically it is red, but it can come in other colors. Its glasslike texture gives its appearance the qualities above.

8. The hapless haberdasher has had horrible hardships. Having his hobby shop hampered had hit him hard. What hobby does he have?

Answer: hats

A haberdasher sells mens' hats, scarves, and pants among other things. His hobby shop sold those things, but had hit hard times.

9. What idol isn't an important and illustrious goddess?

Answer: Iota

Iota is a letter of the Greek alphabet. Iris is the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology. Isis is the Egyptian goddess of fertility. Ishtar is the Assyrian goddess of fertility.

10. John, just stop the jabbering and jargon. What job would jurisprudence create?

Answer: judge

Jurisprudence refers to the law or justice. Therefore, a judge would be most appropriate to be associated with jurisprudence. John would most likely be a lawyer because of his jabbering and jargon.
