Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

The word "soft" can be applied to many aspects of people and objects, but the majority of the words we've used in this quiz are related to the physical and tactile aspects. Let's take a look at these "soft" words. "Supple," "delicate," and "gentle" all describe softness related to flexibility and fragility, with "supple" emphasizing smooth pliability, "delicate" suggesting a fragile, fine quality, and "gentle" referring to a soft touch or manner.

"Fuzzy," "downy," and "fluffy" focus on airy, feathery softness. "Fuzzy" implies a slightly textured softness, "downy" suggests the fine, insulating softness of feathers, and "fluffy" emphasizes light, voluminous softness. The three adjectives "silky," "velvety," and "plush" can similarly be grouped together, all of them describing smooth, luxurious softness. "Silky" suggests sleek, flowing smoothness, "velvety" refers to rich, slightly textured softness, and "plush" indicates a thick, luxurious comfort.

"Mellow" refers to a soft, soothing quality in texture or tone, and "spongy" suggests a soft, absorbent, slightly springy texture. "Cushy," "comfy," and "padded" generally relate to physical comfort, with "cushy" implying an indulgently soft feel, "comfy" (generally used in casual contexts) emphasizing overall coziness, and "padded" referring to something with extra cushioning for comfort.

The other answer options were all antonyms of the word "soft."
