Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. To gain this mark in an exam means you have failed.

Answer: F

The letter F is the sixth letter and fourth consonant of the English alphabet and has numerous uses both as a symbol and as an abbreviation. In some education systems, F is a grade that indicates low-quality academic work or a failing status. In other places the result under 50% is given E.

A letter F or E in our life should not discourage us, it should lead us to look for better knowledge.
2. Add a letter to the previous answer to get the chemical symbol for iron.

Answer: Fe

Fe is a symbol of iron, a metallic chemical element classified as a transition metal, atomic number 26, that is solid at room temperature. It is the most common of metals and the most natural magnetic element, being widely used to make metal alloy steel.

Iron is essential for our body; it is an essential component of hemoglobin, the protein found in red blood cells.
3. The third answer is an abbreviation for one who makes decisions in some sporting activities such as a soccer match. (Remember the instructions).

Answer: Ref

Ref is an informal term used in some sports activities to call the referee. It is the person who ensures that the current rules of a particular sport are followed and who resolves problems and conflicts that eventually occur. Ref is synonymous with the arbiter, judge, and umpire. The term ref is widely used in soccer, football, and boxing.
4. A famous example of this fourth word is the Great Barrier, which can be seen from space.

Answer: Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is the best example of a reef, a stripe or ridge of rock, coral, or sand that rises above or below the surface of a body of water. Stony corals form the reefs; each stony coral has polyps that are millimeters, but together in colonies can become very large and heavy, forming massive reefs. The word reef has other meanings when used as a mining or nautical term.
5. Adding a letter to the previous answer, you get a word that is synonymous with postponing.

Answer: Defer

Postpone is synonymous with defer, delay, put off, suspend, and consists of leaving to do in the future something that could or should be done in the present.

Defer is also synonymous with yield, which means to submit to the wish or decision of another person, and entrust the decision to another person or entity.
6. Adding a letter to the previous answer you get the name of the metal framework that aims to prevent hot coals and debris from falling out of the fireplace.

Answer: Fender

Fender is a device that can be found in many places and can be made of many materials. A fender is a metallic screen placed in front of the fireplace to prevent sparks from falling out of it; a metallic device placed on the front of locomotives to clear the track and absorb shocks; the part of the car body, in some countries called the wing, which surrounds the wheels.

The fender in several cases works as a cushion-like device to reduce the impact, functioning as a buffer.
7. Adding a letter to the previous answer you get a word used to describe something that is free from impurities.

Answer: Refined

Refined is an adjective meaning free from impurities; it refers to things that have been processed, purified, clarified, or filtered. This adjective when used in relation to a person can indicate that the person is kind, polite, civilized, elegant, nice, etc.
8. Adding a letter to the previous answer you get a word that is a synonym to consider again, with the possibility of change.

Answer: Redefine

Redefine means to consider, to analyze again with the chance to reevaluate, to give a new limit, a new meaning, a new specification to a concept, a behavior, or a thing.

During our life, there are countless opportunities to redefine our habits, our concepts, and even the use we make of various objects.
9. Adding a letter to the previous answer you get the name of the syndrome that can occur as a result of reinstitution of nutrition in beings who are starved, and malnourished.

Answer: Refeeding

Refeeding refers to the restoration of normal feeding after a significant period of fasting or starvation.

Refeeding is a term found in the Medical Dictionary. The "refeeding syndrome" is a metabolic disorder that can occur a few days after the reinstitution of feeding in people or animals who are malnourished or starved or who are under metabolic stress due to a severe illness.

Food and fluid intake in non-adequate quantities can develop fluid and electrolyte imbalance and neurologic, pulmonary, cardiac, and other complications that can lead to death. Refeeding has to be done in a very controlled way to avoid the "refeeding syndrome".
10. Adding a letter to the previous answer you get the surname adopted by the black American singer Elizabeth Taylor, who in 1853 performed at Metropolitan Hall, New York, and in 1854 sang for Queen Victoria.

Answer: Greenfield

Elizabeth Taylor (1817? - 1876) was born a slave to an Indian descent mother and an African father. In the early 1820s, the landowner moved to Pennsylvania with her slaves and later she made them free. Elizabeth decided to stay with her mistress and took her name, Greenfield.

In 1851, Greenfield gave her first performance in Buffalo, NY, and in 1853, she debuted at Metropolitan Hall, New York, before an audience of 4000 white people. Later that year she traveled to London for further training, performing in England and Ireland. On May 10, 1854, at Buckingham Palace, Greenfield was the first African American to perform before British royalty.
