Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. District 12 is the coal-mining district.

Answer: True

District 12's main industry is coal mining. Coal miners sometimes die from explosion (eg: Katniss' dad) or other conditions. The working conditions are said to be horrible.

2. Katniss and Prim's mom once abandoned them.

Answer: True

In the book after Katniss is put in custody, her mom and Prim visits her. Katniss tells her mom not to abandon Prim again. The word "again" signals that she has done that before. Katniss' mom defends herself by saying that she was ill at the time.

3. What is Gale's rather unusual nickname for Katniss?

Answer: Catnip

Katniss mentions that when she met Gale, she told him her name in a whisper. Gale must've misheard it because he calls Katniss by the name of "Catnip".

4. Who is Katniss' boyfriend in real life?

Answer: She doesn't have one

Katniss does not actually have a boyfriend. In the Hunger Games, she scripts a romantic relationship with Peeta, although she has mixed feelings for him in real life. Gale and Katniss are hunting partners. Katniss looks up to Gale and doesn't really think of him as her boyfriend. Cato is her main rival in the Hunger Games.

5. What did Haymitch try to do to Effie at the Reaping?

Answer: Hug her

Haymitch is one of the two former winners in the Hunger Games representing District 12. He was the only that is still alive, but has been killing himself with alcohol. Haymitch is very drunk and tries to hug Effie. Effie fends him off though.

6. What are the Tributes that train their whole lives for the Games called?

Answer: The Careers

The Careers are people who train their entire lives for the Games. Even though pre-training is illegal, they do it anyway because of their ties with the Capitol. Most of the Careers are from the luxurious districts (1,2,and 4). They hang together in the Games and in the 74th Hunger Games are led by Cato and included: Glimmer, Marvel, and Clove.

7. Which Career kills Rue?

Answer: Marvel

Katniss forms an alliance with Rue, who is from District 11. She get speared in the stomach by Marvel after falling into a trap. After Katniss kills Marvel, she honors Rue by covering Rue's body with flowers.

8. Which of these is not a pair of tributes from the same district?

Answer: Foxface & Cinna

Foxface was from District 5, while Cinna was Katniss' stylist and not part of the games itself. Katniss and Peeta are both from District 12. Cato & Clove are both from District 2. Thresh and Rue were both from District 11.

9. Gale was the District 12 male tribute.

Answer: False

Peeta Mellark was the male tribute. Peeta is the baker's son and Katniss remembers him because he gave her bread for free. Peeta is said to have blue eyes.

10. There is a sequel to the book.

Answer: True

The sequel to the book is called "Catching Fire". I would stay here and spoil it for you, but it is also a very good book.
