Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Add a letter to the end of "car" to form a new word that is a type of freshwater fish.

Answer: Carp

Carp are one of the more important food fishes, but are also common "ornamental" fish. For example, goldfish and koi are types of carp. There is even a carp called the Red-Finned Black Shark!

2. Add two letters to the end of "car" to get a word for freight that a ship or airplane might carry. It can also be a type of pants or shorts.

Answer: Cargo

Cargo is any goods or freight carried by any means, whether ships, trains, trucks, airplanes, and so on. You may even have a cargo carrier for your car. If you own cargo pants or shorts, you know that means they have extra pockets on the sides of the legs.

3. Add two letters to the end of "car" to make a word that means a festive song, especially around holidays or Christmas. It's also a common given name for girls.

Answer: Carol

A carol is a festive, light song that can be associated with any occasion. Those of you who celebrate Christmas or who are familiar with Christmas traditions have probably sung or heard Christmas carols such as "Silent Night."

4. Add three letters to the end of "car" to make a girl's name, as in "Where in the World is _____ Sandiego?"

Answer: Carmen

You may have played the computer games or watched the television shows based around the character Carmen Sandiego. Usually, Carmen is a villain who steals things and your job is to catch her by using knowledge of geography, history, and other subjects. The idea is to combine entertainment and education.

5. Add two letters to the FRONT of "car" to make the name of a "Sesame Street" character, ______ the Grouch.

Answer: Oscar

Oscar is the grouchy green character who lives in a trashcan on the "Sesame Street" show. He has been around for 40 years. Did you know that in his first season on the show he was actually orange instead of green?

6. Add one letter to the front of "car" to make a word that means a mark on your skin from a wound or cut that healed. It's also the name of a nasty character in the "Lion King" movie.

Answer: Scar

When you get a cut or other wound to your skin, your body begins repairing the damage. Because your body can't build new skin and other tissue that is exactly like the original, sometimes the result is a scar. Scars are natural parts of the healing process.

Answer: Cart

Have you used a shopping cart or shopping trolley? They can be fun to push around a supermarket. Usually those have four wheels (but often one is squeaky, right?!). Many other carts only have two wheels and have to be propped up or attached to whatever is pulling them so they stay level.

8. Add three letters at the end of "car" to make a word meaning a rug or fabric covering a floor.

Answer: Carpet

Carpets can cover a part of a floor or sometimes an entire floor ("wall-to-wall"). They are usually made of wool or artificial textiles and are made of the part you see (the pile) and a backing on the bottom. The oldest pile carpet that has been found is the "Pazyryk Carpet," which is more than 2,000 years old and was probably made by people who live in the areas of modern day Iran.

9. Add one letter to the front AND one letter to the end of "car" to make a word for the long piece of fabric you wear around your neck when it's cold outside or for decoration any time.

Answer: Scarf

Scarves can be worn for warmth and made of materials like wool, or they can be worn for decoration and made of lighter materials such as silk. In dusty areas they can be worn for cleanliness and protection from the wind and dust. Some religions require scarves of specific types for men or women or both.

10. Add three letters to the end of "car" to get a (usually) orange vegetable that Bugs Bunny loves.

Answer: Carrot

The ancestors of today's carrots probably came from Afghanistan. In the earliest years of the use of carrots, they were valued for their leaves and seeds, not the roots! The root, or taproot, is what we eat today. Many carrots are orange of course, but there are yellow, brown, purple, and other colors too.
