Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. First word of eight letters: Protect, safeguard.

Answer: Preserve

Wooden items that are kept outside are often treated with chemicals in order to preserve them against things such as the weather, fungus, and insects, thereby extending the life of the item. For example, wooden fences are often treated with the tar-based preservative creosote, which not only protects the fence from the elements, but gives it a finish that looks good.
2. Subtract a letter to get a seven-letter word that means secure (in advance).

Answer: Reserve

Reserve, as in "Whenever I go to the cinema, I always like to reserve a seat right at the front so I don't have to worry about anyone's head being in the way when I am watching the film".
3. Subtract a letter and anagram to get a six-letter word meaning bitter or harsh.

Answer: Severe

Polar explorers need to wear specialist clothing to protect them from the severe weather conditions found in these climes. Such clothing will insulate the body from heat loss, prevent snow from touching the body, and protect the body from wind-chill.
4. Subtract a letter and anagram to get a five-letter word which is the start of a point in tennis.

Answer: Serve

Although it is within the rules of tennis to serve underarm, most players, both professional and amateur, prefer to serve overarm, as this allows for a much faster serve. Both male and female professionals are now posting first serves that are over two hundred kilometers per hour.
5. Subtract a letter and anagram to get a four-letter word that means make an impromptu change of direction.

Answer: Veer

Veer, as in "As I was driving home the other day, I had to brake suddenly as I saw a car that was coming the other way veer onto my side of the road. I soon understood why, as I saw a cat dashing across the road in front of me".
6. Subtract a letter and anagram to get a three-letter word that means the day before.

Answer: Eve

My young children always get excited about Christmas. They love making mince pies on Christmas Eve, and putting one out for Santa, along with a couple of carrots for his reindeer, before they go to bed.
7. Add a letter to get a four-letter word that is the opposite of odd.

Answer: Even

A prime number is a number that can only be divided by two numbers - itself and one. Two is the only even prime number, as it can only be divided by itself and one, however every other even number can be divided by at least three numbers - the number itself, two, and one.
8. Add a letter and anagram to get a five-letter word that means not ever.

Answer: Never

Never, as in "James was really upset, as he finally plucked up the courage to ask the girl he had liked for ages if she would go on a date with him, and she replied 'Never, not even if you were the last boy on Earth'".
9. Add a letter and anagram to get a six-letter word that is a thin layer of wood added to provide a decorative finish.

Answer: Veneer

A veneer is made of thin slices of wood (normally less than three millimeters thick) glued together with each layer's grain at right angles to the previous layer to provide strength. The veneer is then glued to the main panels that make up the item of furniture to provide an attractive finish.
10. Add a letter and anagram to get a seven-letter word that is an organisation's income.

Answer: Revenue

Also known as sales, revenue is the amount of money made by a business during a particular period of activity. Companies have to declare their revenue on their profit and loss statements, and a company's revenue is one of the factors investors will use in determining whether or not to invest in that company.
