Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is different about Jonas' world than our own?

Answer: all of these

Everything is true. Jonas' world consists of only black, gray, and white as most people are color-blind - other than Jonas and select few. His weather is also controlled to reach maximum efficiency for the people; and a council of elders governs the people.

2. What is Jonas' full number?

Answer: 11-19

His full number is 11-19 because he was 11 years old and number 19 in his group.

3. Which of these is NOT a rule in Jonas' job manual?

Answer: You may acquire access to any and all private screenings of release

Now that Jonas is the Receiver of Memory, he may look at the private screenings, but it was not mentioned in his manual.

4. Where did Jonas train for his job?

Answer: Annex Room

He trained in the annex room behind the House of the Old.

5. What animal was Lily's stuffed toy?

It was an elephant, a supposedly mythical creature. Later in the book, Jonas actually saw an elephant in one of the memories and tried to explain to Lily that is was real. She refused to believe him, being brought up with the idea that all animals are fictional.

6. Which word was not one of the four to describe the best applicant for the job "Receiver of Memory"?

Answer: Larissa

The lady's name was Larissa and she spoke of release ceremonies with Jonas.

8. What did Jonas do with the apple when he saw it "change"?

Answer: he took it home with him

He took it home, which was against the rules. Later, an announcement came over the intercom saying: "ATTENTION. THIS IS A REMINDER TO MALE ELEVENS THAT OBJECTS ARE NOT TO BE REMOVED FROM THE RECREATION AREA AND THAT SNACKS ARE TO BE EATEN, NOT HOARDED."

9. What was the name of the Giver's daughter?

Answer: Rosemary
