Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: artist

"work of ART IS Then" - An artist is someone with the ability and talent to create something admired by others; a work of art such as a painting or in the performing arts like a musician.

2. This man drives his tractor pretty far, merely because it's easier than walking the length of the cornfield.

Answer: farmer

"pretty FAR, MERely" - A farmer is someone who works on or operates a farm. This job is time consuming but very important to the production of food and the economy. In addition to demanding physical labor, a farmer must also plan ahead for the best way to grow his product and get it to market.

3. While sewing an "Underdog" costume for Halloween, he could not remember if this superhero had a long tail or not.

Answer: tailor

"had a long TAIL OR not" - A tailor is a person who makes, repairs, or alters clothing. It can be a man or a woman, although a woman is usually called a seamstress.

4. Since none of her students could spell correctly, she decided to teach eraser usage.

Answer: teacher

"to TEACH ERaser usage" - Teachers pass their knowledge or skills on to their students by planning, preparing and presenting lessons in a way that challenges and inspires students to deepen their knowledge and understanding of a certain subject.

5. Dr. Smiley told me he is going to pull my tooth because the decayed dent is too big for a filling.

Answer: dentist

"decayed DENT IS Too big" - The dentist is necessary if we want to keep a beautiful, bright smile. By taking care of our teeth BEFORE they are damaged, the dentist can save us a lot of pain and worry over decaying teeth and gum disease.
An optometrist is an eye doctor, a podiatrist is a foot doctor, and a pediatrician is a children's doctor.

6. For this person to make a perfect boiled egg, it must poach effectively to keep the yolk intact.

Answer: chef

"must poaCH EFfectively" - A chef usually does the cooking in a restaurant or fancy hotel. He or she plans the menus, orders the ingredients, supervises all food preparation, and makes sure everything runs smoothly in the kitchen. A chef must learn how to cook for a very large number of people, while keeping each dish fresh and hot so everyone can be served quickly and efficiently.

7. As a law officer, she riffled through all the contents of my vehicle.

Answer: sheriff

"SHE RIFFled through" - A sheriff is a law enforcement officer, similar to a policeman; but the sheriff works for an entire county, rather than a certain city or town. His main concern is keeping peace and order.

Answer: chemist

"had a headaCHE MISTakenly" - A chemist is a scientist who studies matter and any changes that take place with that matter.
A pharmacist prepares prescriptions for medications your doctor wants you to take when you are sick. A researcher and an analyst study certain things or behaviors in detail to learn about that subject.

9. The astronaut, horribly upset when his mission failed, decided to write a book about his adventures.

Answer: author

"astronAUT HORribly upset" - An author is someone who writes a book, an article, or any type of text; while making sure she is not 'copying' someone else's work. Their work has to be original.

10. The thief on the swashbuckler's ship, irate at being caught stealing, was going to have to walk the plank.

Answer: pirate

"shiP IRATE at being" - Arrrgh matey! A pirate robs other ships at sea. Not a good occupation, but an occupation just the same.
