Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What's that? A low buzzing noise. Which of these words fits the description?

Answer: Drone

It is a bit of an onomatopoeic term. The term is applied to such things as remotely controlled aircraft, one or more of the reeded pipes in a set of bagpipes (it provides a constant harmonising sound) and a male bee. They all give off a buzzing sound.
2. Which of these words can also be used in the definition of an intelligent person?

Answer: Nerd

Nerd (or nurd) is one of those words that can apply also to the foolish or the intelligent. In the case of the intelligent, it is more likely to be found amongst those who pursue non-mainstream interests. It can be a term of derision or treated as a badge of honour. As to where it comes from, there are various competing explanations. One interesting suggestion is that it comes from the word 'knurd', which is 'drunk' backwards and applying to those who prefer to study rather than party.
3. Which word fits the definition: to supply with a talent or quality?

Answer: Endow

The term 'endow' is perhaps more normally found in a financial context where money or assets are given, typically in the form of a bequest, to someone or an institution in order to provide an income. It however can also be used to describe talent or quality. For example: Nature endowed Michael with great beauty - or so he thought.
4. This is a form of music often associated with sonatas and with a recurring theme alternating with typically contrasting episodes. So, which of the following forms fits the quiz theme and the definition?

Answer: Rondo

These are all musical forms, describing the structure of a musical composition. Briefly, strophic is the same section repeated; binary is two alternating sections, medley is a mix and rondo is the one as outlined in the question. An alternative term for musical form is 'musical architecture'.
5. What word can be a crucifix or a measure of land?

Answer: Rood

It is the term for a crucifix typically found near the altar in a church. A rood is also an obsolete land area measurement and linear measurement. As a measurement of area, it amounted to a quarter of an acre. As a length, it seems to have been somewhere between five and seven metres in length.
6. Which of these is a cyst?

Answer: Wen

A verruca is a kind of wart and a mole is a form of benign tumour so the odd one out is the wen. A wen is the common name for a trichilemmal cyst which forms around hair follicles. It is also sometimes used as an alternative name for a lipoma.
7. What is the name given to property bequeathed to a widow for her use during the remainder of her life?

Answer: Dower

A dowager is the term for such a widow. The term has been around for hundreds of years. This used to be property set aside for the bride by the groom on their marriage. It differs from a dowry (which is property brought to the marriage by the bride) and from a bride price (which is a payment to the bride's family on marriage).
8. Which word is a connecting point between different paths as well as a part on a botanical plant?

Answer: Node

In botany a node is the point where a leaf attaches to a stem. Node has two main meanings: a localised swelling or a point of intersection. Whorl, nexus and tie are synonyms for knot, which fits the description of a localised swelling.
9. One definition for this word is a choric Greek song of classical style, however for better-known examples you could look at the six from the poet John Keats. What is the term used?

Answer: Ode

Keats wrote a series of six odes in 1819, the best known probably being "Ode to a Nightingale". He died at the age of twenty-five from tuberculosis. The other answers are related to poetry or are forms of poetry.
10. Which of these is a name for a female rabbit?

Answer: Doe

As well as being the word for a female rabbit, the song "Do-Re-Mi" from the 1965 film "The Sound of Music" will tell you that a doe is a "deer, a female deer". It can be used for the female hare, goat and kangaroo, amongst others.

The common link for these questions? Well, as already mentioned, it can be found in the title. The letters for all the answers can be found in the letters forming the phrase 'one word'.
