Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In our last quiz we stopped with "t" so we might as well begin with "u". This word means "having the agreement of all involved". What is it, please?
2. A synonym for "retribution", this word is one you've read in the Bible. It means a punishment you might inflict because of an offense against you. What is it?
3. Ah, "w". Something we've all done at one time or another...taken money from our checking account. What have we made when we do that?
4. "X" isn't a letter we use too much, but how about the word for landscaping in a semi-dry or arid area?
5. This little "y" word means to "give up" or "give way". What is it?
6. "Z" is another letter that doesn't begin many American English words. But I can think of a few I've had to hesitate over. One is the spelling of a Mesopotamian-type of architecture, a terraced pyramid. What is it called?
7. Although I don't use this word often, there are definitely times when it is the most appropriate word, meaning "a whispering or rustling sound". What is the correct spelling?
8. Another word we don't use much, but is truly appropriate at times, means "loud or hysterical laughter". Can you spell that out to me?
9. This is a word that was invented for one incident in Europe in 1618 and really means "to throw out a window". Do you know what it is and how to properly spell it?
10. The last word of this quiz is much more commonly used, and misspelled, than the prior three listed here. It means "an action", or "a happening". Do you know what this hard to spell word is?
