Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In Spanish, this verb is dormir : slower than running

Answer: sleepwalk

In Spanish, dormir means "to sleep". A walk is slower than a run. So, sleep + walk = sleepwalk! Sleepwalking is when a person gets out of bed in their sleep and walks. You should never wake up a sleepwalker. Instead, just lead them slowly back to bed.
2. The opposite of begin : "<"

Answer: endless

The opposite of beginning is ending or end. In math, the sign in the question means less than. So, end + less = endless. When something is endless, it is infinite and will never stop or end.
3. Civil ________, Spanish-American __________, Hundred Day _________ : a long tool that a workman often uses that has many sharp teeth on one side

Answer: Warsaw

The word that fits in all three blanks is "war". The Civil War, Spanish-American War, and Hundred Day War were all wars fought at different times in history. A saw is long and has sharp teeth on one side. It is used to cut through materials like wood. War + saw = Warsaw. Warsaw is the capital of Poland.
4. These are round and edible and can be red or purple and with seeds or seedless : some examples of these are apples, nectarines, apricots, and bananas

Answer: grapefruit

Grapes come in all colors and sizes. Apples, nectarines, apricots, and bananas are all fruits. Grape + fruit = grapefruit. A grapefruit is much larger than a grape and looks like a large orange. It can be sour or sweet.
5. A form of energy that moves faster than sound. It is bright and is often followed by the word "years" in astronomy. : Many people live in these. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some types of these are townhomes, apartments, and condominiums.

Answer: lighthouse

Distance in space is often measured in light years. Light is a form of energy and travels faster than sound. That is why lightning always comes before thunder. Townhomes, apartments, and condominiums are all types of houses. Light + houses = lighthouses. You will often see lighthouses by the water. Their lights lead ships and boats to shore.
6. A type of precipitation that you usually see in the winter : a synonym of autumn

Answer: snowfall

Snow is frozen water and falls mostly in the winter. Another word ofr autumn is fall. Snow + fall = snowfall. Snowfall is a time when a lot of snow falls onto the ground.
7. Most offices have a printer, a fax machine, a scanner, and a _________ machine. : a feline

Answer: copycat

Most offices have a copy machine in addition to a printer, fax machine, and scanner. The word feline comes from "Felidae" which is the scientific name of the cat family. Copy + cat = copycat. A copycat is someone who copies another person's work or ideas.
8. Many people describe the sound that baby chickens make as this : Louis Sachar wrote a children's book with this name.

Answer: peephole

Many people describe the sound baby chickens make as a peep. "Holes" is one of Louis Sachar's most famous children's books. It is about a boy who goes to a desert camp for bad behaving children where the boys are forced to dig holes all day. Peep + hole = peephole. Many modern doors have peepholes which allow the person in the house to see who is outside the door without opening it.
9. The person that you live next to : Many coats and sweatshirts have these to put over your head if it starts to rain suddenly.

Answer: neighborhood

People who live next to each other are neighbors. You put a hood over your head if it rains. Neighbor + hood = neighborhood. A neighborhood is the area surrounding your house. It includes the houses, stores, offices, and restaurants nearby.
10. Not over but ________ : not sit but ___________

Answer: understand

The opposite of over is under, and the opposite of sit is stand. Under + stand = understand. When you understand something, you know it and do not have questions about it.
