Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which daughter suffers from hemiplegia?

Answer: Adah

According to wikipedia.com, hemiplegia is "a condition where a vertical half of a patient's body is weak or paralyzed." Adah is born with this condition and it is assumed that she will never be able to speak. Adah does not receive special attention in Africa because of her disease, much unlike in America.

2. Who lived with the Price family and earned some money for preparing meals and other household chores?

Answer: Mama Tataba

Mama Mwanza's legs was burned when her house caught on fire so she uses her hands like most people use their feet. Mama Nguza is described as having a big goiter under her chin. And Tata Zinsana (not Mama) is described as missing all of his fingers.

3. In which war was Nathan Price wounded?

Answer: World War II

Nathan is a wounded hero from WWII but he does not like to talk about his war experiences.

4. What section of the Bible did Nathan Price cherish?

Answer: Apocrypha

According to wikipedia.com, the Apocrypha are texts of uncertain authenticity or writings where the authorship is questioned. The texts fall outside the canon of Christianity.

5. This bird lived with the family until he was released by Nathan in a fit of anger.

Answer: Methuselah

Methuselah's foul language ultimately made Nathan free him from his cage.

6. Who taught the bird the word "damn"?

Answer: Orleanna

Methusalah had never used that word before so Nathan knew one of his family members taught him that word. Adah is presumed to be guilty because she "could not care less about sin and salvation" and because the others are presumed innocent. Rachel is a "perfect lady," Leah "craves heaven" and Ruth May is "plain too little." Actually Orleanna uttered the word when she was unable to make Rachel a cake for her sixteenth birthday.

7. What sermon subject upset the villagers most, specifically the woman who lived with the Price family, forcing her to quit?

Answer: baptism

One little girl was eaten by crocodile in the river Kwilu where Nathan wants to baptize the children of Kilanga. The villagers will not let children step foot in that river.

8. How much was the monthly stipend the Price family received?

Answer: $50

Because Nathan "came without the blessing of the Mission League," the Price family didn't receive the regular amount.

9. Who was the pilot who brought them to their village and also brought them goods they needed?

Answer: Axelroot

Brother Fowles was the previous missionary in Kilanga. He stayed there for six years and it was the general concensus that he'd gone crazy. The Underdowns were the Baptists who met the family at the airport. Rex Minton told the girls that they would be eaten by cannibals in Africa.

10. When Nathan issued The Verse, which verse was the intended moral/lesson?

Answer: the 100th verse

After Methuselah shouts "damn," the girls are assigned The Verse Number 29:34. The hundredth verse is Numbers 32:32, "with how when you sin against the Lord you get found out and to watch what proceeds out of your mouth."
