Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A house for a king or queen.

Answer: Castle

Houses for royalty are known as castles or palaces. The Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany was the inspiration for Cinderella's castle in Disneyland.
2. A place for horses to live.

Answer: Stable

Stables are used to house horses on farms or at other locations. Generally there are partitions creating individual stalls for each horse. Stables have been used since ancient times with some of the oldest found in Ancient Egypt.
3. A vehicle pulled by horses.

Answer: Chariot

After the invention of the wheel, chariots became a popular mode of transport. The chariot had a back seat for the passengers and a seat for the driver with four wheels attached to the structure. A team of horses was then used to pull it.
4. Vehicle used to take people to the hospital in emergency.

Answer: Ambulance

An ambulance is used to transport patients to hospitals in cases of emergency. There are generally equipped with necessary medical equipment and staffed by trained professionals. The vehicles are fitted with sirens to help clear any traffic and ensure the patients reach the hospital at the earliest.
5. Animal called the 'King of the Jungle'.

Answer: Lion

The nickname is strange as the lion's natural habitat does not include jungles. One explanation could be that the word jungle is derived from Hindi where it meant an uninhabited place and not a tropical forest. Such a term could thus describe an open savannah or steppe-like environment.
6. Marsupial with a pouch to carry its young.

Answer: Kangaroo

Kangaroos are native to only two places in the world - Australia and Papua New Guinea. Their young ones are called joeys and are carried by the mother in a small pouch in the front. They move by hopping and are one of the few animals who cannot move backwards.
7. A structure that connects two places by helping to move over the ground.

Answer: Bridge

The Harbour Bridge in Sydney, Australia is a famous landmark. It is nicknamed the 'Coathanger' by locals due to its design. There are daily tours for people to climb to the top of the bridge and take in the spectacular views of the harbour.
8. A structure that connects two places by moving under the ground.

Answer: Tunnel

The Channel Tunnel provides a passage for trains to run under the English Channel. It connects the countries of England and France and is sometimes called the 'Chunnel' by joining the two words.
9. Vegetable introduced to Europe from South America.

Answer: Potato

Potatoes are native to the Andes mountain range in South America. They were only brought to Europe in the latter half of the 16th century by the Spanish. Potatoes are now a staple part of the food in many regions of the world in cuisines ranging from Italian to Indian.
10. Fruit that is rich in Vitamin C.

Answer: Orange

The name orange is derived from the Sanskrit word for it which is naranga. The colour was named after the fruit and earliest usage dates back to the early 16th century. The fruit originated in Asia, possibly India, China or some part of southeastern Asia.
