Starts With The Letter C Trivia Quiz

Answer: C is for Corpse

One of my favorite book series. It is about a female private detective, Kinsey Milhone who lives in Santa Teresa, CA. One thing I like about her is that she seems like a real person, not some glamour puss. She drives an old VW, and has one black dress that doesn't wrinkle she keeps in her car in case she needs it. I find them very interesting.

Answer: Corpus Christi

There is a very nice statue of her there looking out to sea. You can drive by the house she lived in; people in town will tell you exactly where it is. Also, her gravesite is beautiful. The others are various towns in Texas.

Answer: Cerebrum

It is also the largest portion of the brain. The cerebellum helps to maintain posture and balance. It also helps with speed, trajectory and acceleration of movements. The corpus collosum is the name of the connection between the two cerebral hemispheres.

The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of grey matter that covers the cerebral hemispheres. I got my information for this question from Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary.

The Corvette debuted in 1953, the Camaro in 1967 and the Corvair in 1960. Did you know the first Corvettes cost $3513? That was about $150 more than the Jaguar XK120. The Corvair was manufactured only in the 1960s. It's engine was in the back like a VW beetle. 2002 was the last year the Camaro was manufactured.

In the last year of "The Brady Bunch", Mike drove a Chevy Caprice convertible.

Answer: cauliflower

Cruciferous vegetables belong to the cabbage family. Others of them are broccoli, brussel sprouts and kohlrabi.

Answer: Cherokee

The Cherokees, Choctaw, Seminole, Muscogee-Creek and Chickasaw had established their own nation in Georgia. They had built roads and schools, and even developed their own alphabet. They had even assimilated some European customs. Davy Crockett, who at the time was a Congressman from Tennessee, fought the "Indian Removal Act".

This put an end to his political career, causing him to leave Washington, DC for Texas.

Answer: Carlsbad Caverns

If you have never been to Carlsbad Caverns, I highly suggest you go. It is truly fascinating. The caves are so beautiful and wondrous. The "Bat Flights" in the summer at sunset are also breath-taking. The Cosmic Caverns are in Arkansas, the Cascade Caverns are in Texas, and the Cumberland Caverns are in Tennessee.

Answer: Coriander

It was grown in Persia 3000 years ago. Interestingly, its leaves are Cilantro, which is used in many Latin American dishes. During the Middle Ages, superstition had it that cumin kept chickens and lovers from wandering. Also it was good luck for a bride and groom to carry cumin seed through the wedding ceremony. Cinnamon is one of the first known spices, and its aroma was thought to be sacred. Cloves, with their pungent aroma, were very expensive and wars were fought to gain exclusive rights to the clove business. I got my spice information from the McCormick Spice Encyclopedia. I hope you enjoyed this quiz.
