Cant Trivia Quiz

Answer:

Visiting the cathedral city (Canterbury), you avoid the police horse with its speedy gait (canter) and get past the quarrelsome (cantankerous) security man to admire the beam (cantilever) architecture. It is not surprising to hear a hymn (canticle) in this place of worship. Having had your fill of cloisters (corridors), you check out the nearby eating place (canteen) to see if they have that favourite of yours, almond biscotti (cantucci).

Next, you find yourself leaning (canting) against the bar in a pub (cantina) ordering a liquid measure (quart) of a melon (cantaloupe) liqueur. The barman suggests a more standard drink measure (shot) would be better. After tasting it, you decide the smallest amount (quantum) he can sell you would have been best. You check out your Australian airline (Qantas) flight details for your return home.

Out of the corner of the eye (canthus), you notice a Hong Kong Chinese couple. They are speaking their regional language (Cantonese) so you whisper a magic spell (cantrip) and pull out your iPhone to help translate. Talking to them, you discover that Canton was a romanised name for the city of Guangzhou (Canton) as well as its province. You muse aloud about whether it was named after the Swiss admin division (canton). They ask you if Switzerland is where the philosopher (Kant) came from. Hmm, they are probably thinking of Carl Jung.
