Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. All answers have four letters. Reject two states

Answer: Deny

Delaware + New York=DE+NY

Delaware and New York are two states in the northeastern United States. Deny sounds a bit like "denial" often associated with the phrase "river in Egypt".

2. Deer of two states OR Back in two states

Answer: Hind

Hawaii + North Dakota=HI+ND

Compared to the previous question, these two states are in different parts of the United States. North Dakota is one of the Plains States and Hawaii is physically off the coast of North America in the Pacific Ocean. Hind can also be used to describe a (red) deer and has an old-fashioned connotation.

3. Unfortunately, state joins territory

Answer: Alas

Alabama + American Samoa=AL+AS

With this question, we have one state and one territory. Alabama is in the southeast and Samoa is found in the South Pacific. Alas is one of those words that express despair.

4. Two states with blemish

Answer: Scar

South Carolina + Arkansas=SC+AR

These two states can be found closer as they are both in the southeast. As a wound heals it might become a scar. It might also become a scab, but that would suggest that Canadian provinces could be involved. (SC+AB)(Alberta)

5. Prepare food in two states

Answer: Cook

Colorado + Oklahoma=CO+OK

With this question we have a state in the southwest (Oklahoma) and a second state in the Rocky Mountains (Colorado). The word "cook" can be both a noun and a verb, that is the one who cooks and the act of cooking.

6. South American Indian

Answer: Inca

Indiana + California=IN+CA

Another question where the answer involves two states in different parts of the country. Indiana is found in the Great Lakes region. California lies farther west on the Pacific coast. The Inca are a people in the Andes Mountains of South America.

7. Constructed two states

Answer: Made

Massachusetts+ Delaware=MA+DE

This question return to two northeastern states. To be more specific, Massachusetts is in New England and Delaware is one of the Mid-Atlantic states. Constructed and created could be considered synonyms for made.

8. Very proud of two states

Answer: Vain

Virginia + Indiana=VA+IN

With this question we have Virginia, a southeastern state, and Indiana, a Great Lakes state. The word vein, similar in some ways to an artery, is a homophone for the word vain. An artery takes blood away from the heart. A vein takes blood towards the heart.

9. Act without words in two states

Answer: Mime

Michigan + Maine=MI+ME

This question includes a Great Lakes state (Michigan) and a northeastern state (Maine). You could argue that Michigan is a GREAT LAKES state as it borders four of the lakes. Mime is acting through movement and expression without speaking.

10. Cry out loud in two states

Answer: Wail

Washington + Illinois=WA+IL

This last question has a Pacific state (Washington) and a Great Lakes state (Illinois). Wail and cry are synonyms.
