Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Ancient Mariner "stoppeth one of..." how many?

Answer: 3

 The Ancient Mariner went to a wedding feast, and he stopped one of them to tell him his story.
2. "Ice, mast high, came floating by, as ______________"?

Answer: Green as emerald

 The ship sailed off to the land of ice, and of fearful sounds, where no living thing was to be seen.
3. What bird that flew overhead was considered a good omen by the Mariner and his crew?

Answer: Albatross

 The albatross followed the ship wherever it sailed.
4. In what direction was the ship sailing before the bird of good omen arrived?

Answer: South

 A storm had made the ship sail towards the South Pole, but once the albatross showed up, "a good south wind sprung up behind".
5. It was suspected that the bird of good omen was actually the reason for the fog and the mist. What consequence did the bird suffer because of this?

Answer: The Mariner shot the bird with his crossbow

 At first the crew cried out against the Mariner killing the bird of good luck, but after the fog and mist cleared, they thought maybe it was all right to slay the bird that brought such inconvenience.
6. Which of these events happened at the rising of the moon?

Answer: The Mariner's shipmates dropped down dead one by one

 Life-in-Death won the Ancient Mariner with the roll of a dice, and a curse is cast upon the crew.
7. How many people came to rescue the Mariner?

Answer: 3

 The pilot, the pilot's boy, and the Hermit all came to rescue the Mariner.
8. Shortly after the Mariner was rescued, his ship sank like ______ into the sea?

Answer: Lead

 "Under the water it rumbled on
Still louder and more dread
It reach'd the ship, it split the bay
The ship went down like lead"
This happens almost right after the Mariner is rescued.
9. What is the Mariner supposed to teach by his own example?

Answer: God loves all that he has made

 The Mariner's ship had been driven northward by an angelic power, and teaching God's word by his own example is what the Mariner owed.
10. Which of these bands made 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' into a song?

Answer: Iron Maiden

 "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Iron Maiden is about a 13 and a half minute epic about the poem, and can be found on their 1984 album, 'Powerslave'.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the quiz; but hey, if it weren't for Mr. Coleridge, you wouldn't have been able to!
