Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What kind of animal does Daria almost hit during her driving lesson?

Answer: Dog

Daria's mother, Helen, is teaching her to drive. Daria tells Helen that she doesn't have good peripheral vision because her glasses block her view. This starts Helen thinking about how she can persuade Daria to get contacts instead.

2. Initially, why does Daria say no to getting contacts?

Answer: There is nothing wrong with glasses

Daria thinks the only reason Helen wants her to have contacts is so she will fit in better at school. She says Helen thinks she'll 'turn into the homecoming queen' if she no longer wears glasses.

3. Which one of these people does Daria NOT ask for advice about whether to get contacts?

Answer: Brittany

Quinn scares Daria by planning to give her a makeover when Daria asks what she thinks. Jane says that Helen doesn't understand 'the whole Daria Morgendorffer persona', that is, that she wears glasses and doesn't care what people think about how she looks. Aunt Amy tells Daria she should get them because they would just give her different options about how she looks, and that they wouldn't change her in any way.

4. What is Jane eating when she and Daria are discussing contact lenses?

Answer: Cookie dough

Jane and Daria are in Jane's room. Jane is painting and eating cookie dough.

5. Who starts wearing glasses they do not need in an attempt to look smarter?

Answer: Kevin and Brittany

Quite an obvious one. Kevin and Brittany are the only characters silly enough to wear glasses to try to look like 'brains'.

6. Daria gives in and gets the lenses.

Answer: true

She wears them to school and gets complimented by Mr O'Neill and Ms. Li, who think she has got the lenses in an attempt to fit in better. She tells them she doesn't want to have a personality based upon appearance.

7. What is the subject of this episode's edition of 'Sick Sad World'?

Answer: 'The Severed Pianist'

It's about someone being disinherited by their family for playing the piano.

8. When Jane asks Daria how many fingers she's holding up, what does Daria reply?

Answer: 'I've got one for you'

Daria's eyes are hurting from wearing lenses, but she doesn't want to wear glasses either so she goes to school wearing neither. She spends most of the day bumping into people. Jane realises Daria can't see, so she asks how many fingers she's holding up, prompting this amusing reply.

9. Daria admits that she is not wearing glasses because she is vain. What does Jane offer to lend her?

Answer: Lipstick

Daria is forced to admit that she does, in some small way, care how she looks and what people think of her. When Jane offers to lend her some lipstick, Daria runs away and hides in the bathroom.

10. Who finally convinces Daria that it is okay to worry about how you look?

Answer: Brittany

Brittany tells Daria it makes her feel better to know that someone as clever as Daria worries about her appearance, and that it just means that they're 'both human or whatever'. When this approach works, Brittany thinks that the glasses she is wearing really do make her smarter. I hope you enjoyed the quiz.
