3. Red

Answer: Herring

A red herring is a literary device used by authors to mislead readers or distract them from the actual plot twist.

There is no actual fish called the red herring.
4. Blue

Answer: Whale

The blue whale is the largest animal which is known to have a length of around 30 meters and weigh almost 170 tonnes. While it is still listed as endangered due to the effects of commercial whaling on the marine mammal's population, its numbers have now been found to be on an increasing trend due to conservation efforts.
5. Green

Answer: Land

Greenland is a large island located in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. It is an autonomous territory of Denmark. It is believed that the island was named Greenland by Erik the Red in a bid to attract others to come and settle there.
6. White

Answer: Rabbit

The White Rabbit is a fictional character from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", a book written by Lewis Carroll. It is the White Rabbit who inadvertently leads Alice to Wonderland when she follows him down a rabbit hole.
7. Yellow

Answer: Submarine

"Yellow Submarine" is the name of a song recorded by The Beatles. The band's drummer, Ringo Starr, provided the lead vocals for the song. It also inspired a musical fantasy animated film of the same name. While The Beatles performed the songs for the film and featured in the closing sequence, the characters of the four band members were voiced by other actors.
8. Black

Answer: Sheep

'Black sheep' is a term used to refer to a member of a family or group whose own bad reputation also reflects poorly on the rest of the members. While sheep are generally white, there are rare instances of black sheep being born due to certain genetic conditions.

The wool of black sheep was regarded as inferior to that of the white ones, thus, resulting in the term 'black sheep' having negative implications.
9. Scarlet

Answer: Letter

"The Scarlet Letter" is a book written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in the mid-19th century. The title refers to a red 'A' that the character of Hester Prynne must wear around her neck for being found guilty of committing adultery. The book has since been adapted into various other mediums including movies, plays and operas.
10. Purple

Answer: State

Purple state is a term used in the United States to describe a state where both the Democratic and Republic party have similar levels of support. Such a state may also be called a swing state.
