Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. There are not very many things in peoples' lives that are sublime, but when they do come around, it would be best not to miss them. What is a synonym for sublime?

Answer: majestic

To be sublime is to be majestic or impressive. When you experience something greatly awe-inspiring, you might consider it sublime.

2. There are people who are errant in how they achieve a goal or complete a quest. If you are errant on a journey, how would you be going about that journey?

Answer: wanderingly

Knights errant were those who roamed to find what they were looking for. If you are errant on a journey, you are on a journey in which you wander.

3. You may have heard of draconian law, but do you know what type of law would be draconian?

Answer: harsh

A draconian law is one that is severe or harsh. The word's etymology can be traced back to Draco, a Athenian politician who codified Athens's laws, which were considered very harsh.

4. There are many different types of buildings that can be constructed. If you were to construct a 'shanty', what type of edifice would you be erecting?

Answer: shack

A shanty is often a ramshackle, poorly-built shack. It's often found in the wilderness, and is not primarily used for permanent living.

5. Most people have the ability to interpret a person's visage as it is vital to human communication. What is a synonym for visage?

Answer: countenance

The visage of a person is their face or countenance. Humans typically have a natural instinct to interpret a person's facial expressions, although in many cases these interpretations can be wrong.

To elicit is to evoke. Illicit (illegal), implicit (implied), and solicit (proposition) may all sound alike, yet elicit is the true synonym.

7. Floccinaucinihilipilification, one of the longest words in the English language, would be synonymous with which of the following?

Answer: an act of judging something to be worthless

Floccinaucinihilipilification is an act of judging something as trivial or worthless. It is not a word typically used, and its main purpose serves as being a long word (similar to the purpose of antidisestablishmentarianism). It was at one time the longest word in the "Oxford English Dictionary" until it was replaced by pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a disease of the lungs.

8. The word archon is indeed arcane, but an archon itself is not normally arcane. What synonym for archon is usually something NOT arcane?

Answer: leader

An archon is a ruler or leader. They are a figure of authority in society. Typically, leaders are well known to their society, making them not arcane.

9. Your progeny are not something you easily discard. Some are in existence, while others have yet to exist. What best describes what you would call your progeny?

Answer: descendants

Your progeny are your descendants. Some exist in the present, while some may not exist until the future. Your progeny should be important to you, so they are not too easily discarded.

10. Well intrepid quiz taker, you have come to the end of this quiz on synonyms. Which of the following would you NOT be considered because you are intrepid?

Answer: apprehensive

Congratulations to you for testing your knowledge of synonyms. You truly are intrepid.
