Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This word is a synonym of 'magical' that begins with 'w' and ends with 's'.

Answer: Wondrous

The adjective 'wondrous' is used to describe something that is amazing, delightful, marvellous or extraordinary. Example: The wondrous views from the top of the mountain took our breath away.

2. This word begins with the last three letters of the previous word and means a wrongful dismissal or dispossession.

Answer: Ouster

Here are a couple of examples: The board voted unanimously for the ouster of the company's president. The demonstrators called for the ouster of the country's dictator. The word can also be used to refer to the person who does the ousting, especially in US usage.

3. This word begins with the last three letters of the previous word and means 'a scolding woman'.

A termagant is a scolding, nagging, bad-tempered woman. Example: The name of Xanthippe, the wife of Socrates, has become synonymous with 'termagant'.

4. This word begins with the last three letters of the previous word and means 'a substance that produces an immune response'.

Answer: Antigen

Antigens stimulate the production of antibodies, thus creating an immune response or allergic reaction. Some common antigens are pollen (causing hayfever), gluten (causing coeliac disease) and peanuts (causing anaphylaxis). When an organ is surgically transplanted, the new host will tend to regard it as an antigen and produce antibodies to destroy it. Immune-suppressant drugs are used to minimize this reaction.

Answer: Genitor

A 'genitor' is one who begets. Example: Adam and Eve were the genitors of Cain and Abel.
