In the book after Katniss is put in custody, her mom and Prim visits her. Katniss tells her mom not to abandon Prim again. The word "again" signals that she has done that before. Katniss' mom defends herself by saying that she was ill at the time.
3. What is Gale's rather unusual nickname for Katniss?

Katniss mentions that when she met Gale, she told him her name in a whisper. Gale must've misheard it because he calls Katniss by the name of "Catnip".

Katniss does not actually have a boyfriend. In the Hunger Games, she scripts a romantic relationship with Peeta, although she has mixed feelings for him in real life.

6. What are the Tributes that train their whole lives for the Games called?

Answer: The Careers

The Careers are people who train their entire lives for the Games. Even though pre-training is illegal, they do it anyway because of their ties with the Capitol.

Answer: False

Peeta Mellark was the male tribute. Peeta is the baker's son and Katniss remembers him because he gave her bread for free. Peeta is said to have blue eyes.

Answer: True
