Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Now that you're rich, you can afford almost anything! First, you decide to fly to the shortest river in the world. Which of the following rivers has claimed that title?

Answer: The D River

It's very strange that the shortest river in the world has the shortest name! The D River is in Oregon, USA, and is 120 feet long. However, the Roe River in Montana has also claimed the title (though it was not one of the choices). The Po River is in Italy, and is actually very large.
2. Since you're going to be traveling a lot, you have the urge to learn a new language. You go to the nearest book store and buy four books on foreign languages. But wait! You have this weird feeling that one of the books teaches you how to learn a language that doesn't really exist. Which "language" is it?

Answer: Jamaican

Jamaicans speak English and Patois-English. Yapese is spoken in Micronesia, Igbo is spoken in Nigeria, and Maltese is spoken in Malta.
3. You now decide to head to the world's second-largest lake. What city do you go to?

Answer: Duluth, Minnesota

Baku, Azerbaijan borders the Caspian Sea, which is the world's largest lake. Lake Superior is the second-largest in the world. Finally, Lake Victoria is the third-largest lake in the world, and is located near Kampala.
4. Enough lakes and rivers! You have heard of the Kittatinny Mountains, so you head there. Where are the Kittatinny Mountains located?

Answer: Eastern United States

The Kittatinny Mountains are in New Jersey, USA. The mountains are known for their variety of forest trees.
5. After leaving the mountains, you want to go to Vatican City, Tuvalu, Monaco, and Nauru in order from smallest to largest in area. In which order should you go?

Answer: Vatican City, Monaco, Nauru, Tuvalu

Vatican City is the smallest country in the world with 0.2 square miles, and it is the only country that has Latin as its official language. Monaco is the second smallest country with 0.7 square miles. Nauru is the third smallest with 8.5 square miles. Tuvalu is the fourth smallest with 9.0 square miles.
6. Now you go back to the United States. The fourth smallest state is also the 50th one to join the union. Name it.

Answer: Hawaii

At 6,423 square miles, Hawaii is bigger than Connecticut, which is the third smallest state in the United States. Arizona (113,642 sq mi) is much bigger than Hawaii. New Mexico is the fifth biggest state in the U.S., with 121,365 square miles.
7. You decide to head out to the warm Caribbean next. You want to go to a fairly large place; which of these has the largest area?

Answer: Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda is 171 sq. miles. Barbados is 166 sq. miles. St. Vincent and the Grenadines is 150 sq. miles. Lastly, Grenada is 133 sq. miles. As you can see, they're very close in size, and none of them are very big!
8. You are now going to the smallest member of the former United Arab Republic. Where are you headed?

Answer: Syria

Bahrain and Lebanon were never members of the United Arab Republic. Egypt and Syria were the only members, and Syria is the smaller of the two. Syria has an area of 71,500 square miles.
9. You are unsure of where to go next, so you ask others for advice. They tell you about their favorite places to go, but it seems as if some people are lying about the countries. Which statement is true?

Answer: I love Malta! Valetta, the capital, is wonderful, and I learned English and Maltese, the two official languages.

Boiling Lake is in Dominica, but Bridgetown is not the capital. The same thing is wrong with the statement about Vanuatu, because Noumea is the capital of New Caledonia.
10. After a long vacation, you decide to visit the largest city (in area) in the United States. What city is it?

Answer: Yakutat, Alaska

Yakutat City and Borough are the largest cities in the US, with 9,459.28 square miles! The next three largest cities in square miles are also in Alaska: Sitka, Juneau, and Anchorage.
