1. A "roux" is a preparation used to thicken sauces and soups.

Answer: true

3. Which of these fruits have its seeds on the outside?

Answer: strawberry

Every other fruit's seeds except for strawberries are on the inside, and they can be seen when you bite into it. Note that shortening "kiwifruit" to kiwi has mostly been accepted into daily speech unless it could lead to confusion where it is always preferred to append "fruit" or "bird" - or in the presence of a New Zealander who might consider the use of "kiwi" for a fruit mildly offensive, so be careful about just when you use the short name.

4. If you were to order 16/20 shrimp at a U.S. Fish Market, how many shrimp would you get in one and a half pounds?

Answer: 24-30
