Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of Mayor Prentiss' horse in 'The Ask and the Answer'?

Answer: Morpeth

The Mayor's horse is introduced right near the beginning, where Todd is given Angharrad. If you chose Juliet's Joy, then I can see your point, but Juliet's Joy wasn't his horse until Morpeth was killed by the Spackle weapons.

2. What phrase does the mayor tell Todd will silence his noise?

Answer: "I am the circle and the circle is me"

Todd learned quickly, his noise becoming more silent by the day. Unfortunately, Viola is upset that she cannot hear Todd anymore, when she cannot hear his noise and his honesty.

3. What is Chapter 11 called?

Answer: Saved Yer Life

The chapter is so called because that is the chapter that Davy 'saves his life' by shooting a spackle that is attacking him. The rest are from Chapter 1 ("The Old Mayor"), Chapter 40 ("Nothing Changes, Everything Changes") and Chapter 12 ("Betrayal").

Sergeant Collins and Sergeant O'Hare both are featured mainly in the third book. Sergeant Hammar shoots Maddy when she and Viola are trying to sneak into the communications tower.

Answer: A blue 'A'

In this book, Viola uses blue charcoal to write the blue A of the Answer after a bombing.
