Vocabulary: The "New" Quiz

Answer: Newspaper

A newspaper is a collection of stories and other relevant events which are pertinent to the community it is developed in. If you wanted to get the scoop on what's up where you live, a newspaper would probably be your best bet.

A plot of newgrounds is something farm or garden owners may establish to cultivate a plant of some kind for the first time. Newground is a very localised regional term, and most people would write it as two words.

If you seek out a newborn, there is a possibility of there being "local happenings" that don't pertain to this question!

A Newarkite is someone who is from Newark, New Jersey - you could seek them out if you maybe wanted information about Newark specifically, but if you don't live in that specific area, it won't do much good. Plus, they could very easily be out of the loop themselves!

Answer: No

Newberyite is a rare phosphate mineral with the chemical formula MgHPO4.3H20, or hydrated magnesium hydrogen phosphate. It definitely shouldn't be eaten. Not only would it be unhealthy to ingest, but it's likely to break many teeth and possibly cause choking!

Answer: An animal

Newcal is an adjective describing a cow which has recently has given birth to a calf. It is a very old word, with roots dating back to the twelfth century, and it is definitely dated, not something you're likely to hear in the 21st century. But if you work on a farm and hear talk of a cow performing such a miracle, it may be amusing to see if any of the farm workers have ever heard the word before!

Answer: Newbie

Originally, the term was meant to focus on specifically people who were new to using the internet or any particular online service. It eventually went on to be adapted for more of a general use term, depicting someone who is simply new to what they are doing.

In the video gaming sphere, you may hear someone use the term "noob" and though this is technically not a word with "new" in it, it is essentially the same word conceptually.

A newt is essentially a salamander, or a family of salamanders that are semiaquatic.

A newton is essentially the unit depicting how much force is required to move something in a particular way.

Meanwhile, a newcomer is someone who has newly come to a space. It could be a new employee at a business, a new member of a hobby group, or even something like a baby recently being born; a newcomer of a newborn!

Answer: Newsletter

Whereas a newspaper or a newscast would be intended for a wide-spanning audience, a newsletter would be more self contained. It is usually found in a workplace, and may display things such as upcoming events around the office, reminder of company specific policy, or notable achievements from a colleague.

Answer: Start over

An example of 'anew' being used in this context: I was working on writing a quiz on FunTrivia, but before I could save my work, I had a power outage. Now, I must begin my quiz anew. Not to be confused with "a" and "new" as two words; to "begin a new" would mean starting something else entirely. "I chose to begin a new quiz" could mean I scrapped my original idea for something else, whereas "begin anew" would mean restarting the idea I just had.

Answer: Newfound

You could also properly use 'newly found', and it would essentially mean the same thing. In this context, 'newfound' can be interpreted literally as having very recently acquired something. In the example given, the man doesn't become well known until writing a book, after which he gains 'newfound' notoriety.

The three wrong answers to this question are completely made up words that do not exist.

Answer: Newfangled

Newelty is essentially a synonym for 'novelty'. It is meant to depict something which doesn't have much practical value, but instead appeals to someone's personal interests for one reason or another.

Newtech is a made up word entirely, while a newton is a unit of force not related to an item being fancy or even actually new at all.

Meanwhile, if something is 'newfangled', it is essentially a fancy new gadget like the examples given in the body of the question. It is contextual, though; I have never owned a smartwatch, so to me it would be newfangled, but smartwatches have been out for years and years, so it may not be seen that way for someone else.

Answer: Renewal

"Sinewal" and "Linewalkering" are not real words, they are slightly fake versions of real words. I came up with sinewal from the word 'sinewy', a word meant to depict something or someone physically tough and resilient. Meanwhile, I got linewalking from 'linewalker', a worker who patrols a petroleum line in person and is responsible for minor repair work when it arises.

Meanwhile, Newari describes the Tibeto-Burman language used by people who live in Kathmandu Valley in Nepal.

Finally, if I wanted to renew or, essentially bring back, my concealed carry permit, I would first need to apply for the license which, these days, can be done online through an official government forum. I would expect to have to offer some paperwork, namely I would need a form of identification and to fill out a formal application for the permit.
