Answer: Beverly Marsh

Beverly, whose mother is often away for work, is tormented by her insane father. She is forced to cook breakfast for him, clean for him, and do anything he wants, and if she even does the slightest thing he doesn't like she gets beaten. Her mother even believes that he sexually abused her before.

In 1985, when she returns to Derry, she learns that her father died years before. It is left to the reader to decide if he was killed by Pennywise or not.
10. Which of these characters was killed by It using flying leeches?

Answer: Patrick Hockstetter

It is explained that Patrick went swimming once and got covered in leeches, resulting in his fear of them. While in a junkyard, after a sexual encounter with Henry, he opens a fridge that he puts animals in and is attacked by leeches. He passes out from blood loss and wakes up as It feeds on him.
11. Can you match the character with the quote? "You'll die if you try to fight us, Beverly!"

Answer: Pennywise

As Beverly is washing up before bed, she hears the voices of dead children coming from the bathroom sink. Blood explodes from the sink, getting all over the bathroom. Her father, Alvin Marsh, rushes in but does not see anything. When he leaves, Pennywise's evil voice is heard from the drain.
12. What is the name of Beverly (formerly Marsh) Rogan's abusive husband?

Answer: Tom

Beverly, after receiving the phone call to return to Derry, is beaten by Tom when she attempts to leave. She ultimately gets away, but Tom hunts her down. He is commanded by Pennywise to kidnap Bill's wife, Audra, and bring her into the sewers so the Losers's Club will have to confront It.

However, after Tom sees Pennywise in his true form, he collapses from shock and dies, allowing It to feed on him.
13. Henry Bowers hates Mike Hanlon a bit more than the other characters because he is what?

Answer: African-American

Henry grew up hearing his racist father talking about how African-Americans caused everything bad in his life, so Henry would take out anger on Mike, such as throwing cherry bombs at him, beating him up, chasing him, etc.
14. In 1985, Bill said his parents had him repeat a certain phrase to help his stutter. Can you finish it? "He ____ his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts."

Answer: thrusts

Bill says this a handful of times later on in the novel. During the final battle with It, he says it shortly before being caught in the Dead Lights, lights It makes its victims stare into. They become transfixed and easier to kill. Prolonged exposure to Dead Lights results in loss of sanity and even a comatose-like state.
15. According to the novel, what does Alvin Marsh eat with breakfast?

Answer: Hot bread

Along with eggs, bacon, and coffee, his version of toast is just bread heated up. Breakfast, one day, almost takes a bad turn when Beverly tells him there is no bacon left, so he instructs her to make him a hamburger. She says that there's not a lot of hamburger meat left, but makes one anyway to avoid his wrath.
16. The death of Eddie Corcoran occurs shortly before the seven main characters meet each other. To kill Eddie, It transformed into his worst fear, as it does with all the victims. What is Eddie's worst fear?

Answer: The Creature from the Black Lagoon

Eddie first encounters It in the form of his deceased brother Dorsey, who pursues him. It then turns into the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and eventually catches Eddie, biting his neck and killing him.
17. Which of these does Pennywise not take the form of in the novel?

Answer: Turtle

In the novel, It takes the form of a mummy to frighten Ben. Pennywise also takes the form of a leper to get to Eddie Kaspbrak, a dog to kill a guard at Juniper Hills, and a spider, which is the closest it can get to its true form without killing anybody on sight.

It would never take the form of a Turtle. The Turtle is another entity, the sworn enemy of It, and dies at the end of the novel after choking on a "regurgitated galaxy or two."
18. When the six surviving friends reunite in Derry in 1985, they go to a Chinese restaurant. What is the name of their waitress?

Answer: Rose

Rose is seen only several times. One of the last times she is seen is when the group opens their fortune cookies.

To cover, they tell her that Eddie had an asthma attack but everything's okay.
19. Eddie Kaspbrak lived next door to the main protagonist in another King novel. Who was it?

Answer: Paul Sheldon

In "Misery", while Paul Sheldon is held captive by Annie Wilkes, he remembers living in Derry. He then mentions Mrs. Kaspbrak, who used to live next door to him and his mother.
20. Henry Bowers attacks Mike Hanlon in a hotel room.

Answer: False

Henry attacks Mike in a library but attacks Eddie in a hotel room. After his fight with Henry, Mike is put in the hospital. Eddie, however, kills Henry with a broken glass bottle by gouging his eye out and stabbing him.
21. With five of them left, the Losers' Club ventures into the sewers to kill It once and for all. What do they find?

Answer: Eggs

They find eggs laid by It and begin destroying them. This leads to the assumption that It is female. However, this is not known for sure. Bill also finds Audra, but they decide to deal with Pennywise first.
22. Eddie sprays and wounds It with his asthma inhaler.

Answer: True

Eddie faces his fears and sprays It, in spider form, with his asthma inhaler (which he used to severely wound Pennywise back in 1958). However, It grabs him and bites off his arm, killing him.
23. Which remaining member of the Losers' Club kills It?

Answer: Bill

After overpowering It, Bill grabs the heart and crushes it between his hands. With It finally dead, they escape as the sewer and caves collapse. In Derry, the town begins to flood and a violent storm destroys a good portion of it.
24. The Losers' Club escapes and start to return to their normal lives. What happens to Ben and Beverly?

Answer: They get married

They get married, and Bev becomes pregnant soon after. It is unknown what happens to them after that. Once they leave, it's just Mike and Bill left in Derry.
25. Audra, still left in a shock and unable to speak, gets ready to leave with Bill. However, they go for a ride on Bill's old bike Silver, in hopes that it will bring her back to normal. It does, and Audra says what?

Answer: She loves him

Bill says he loves her too, and quips, "And what else matters?" bringing an end to the book. Just prior, Mike states that he can leave Derry, not having to stay any longer. This is a bitter-sweet moment. Pennywise is dead, but the reader is left knowing that the friends will forget each other eventually, as Mike states that he and Bill often have to ask each others' names.
