Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. BE + pain in various body parts = sandy shores

Answer: Beaches

BE + Aches = Beaches

In the 1900s, people would go to the beach for a day when they had time off. Eventually, this became vacations where people go somewhere for a period of time ranging from a few days to a couple of months.

2. BE + land good for growing crops = can be endured

Answer: Bearable

BE + Arable = Bearable

This word should not be confused with "tolerable," which can also mean "mediocre." Generally, "tolerable" implies a more positive note than "bearable."

3. BE + usually used as a command for someone to move towards the speaker = one of the linking verbs

Answer: Become

BE + Come = Become

If you want to avoid using the seven forms of "be" and still use the passive voice, use the word "become"! (Disclaimer: not for all types of sentences.)

4. BE + to confuse or stupefy = to cause to get confused

Answer: Befuddle

BE + Fuddle = Befuddle
/ BE + Muddle = Bemuddle

Originating in the early 1800s, the word "befuddle" rapidly gained popularity in the early 1900s, before peaking in the 1950s. One of the lesser-used words in the English language, "befuddle" is often substituted with "confused." "Bemuddle" is even more obscure, only appearing as "bemuddled," if at all.

5. BE + a deadly weapon from which bullets can be propelled = past participle of 'to start'

Answer: Begun

Be + Gun = Begun

Begin, began, begun (another of English's irregularities). "[Something that] had begun" implies that it had a starting point later than "[something] began."

6. Be + small in size or degree = to make someone or something seem small and unimportant

Answer: Belittle

BE + Little = Belittle

"The girls liked to belittle each other, picking at others' flaws." Generally, this word is associated with the malicious intent of making the belittled person feel small. Don't use it to mean something small!

7. BE + someone who is between a child and teenager (informal abbreviation) = a period separating two points in time or space

Answer: Between

BE + Tween = Between

A very old word, "between" originated before the 12th century. In Biblical Hebrew, "between the sun and the moon" literally means "between the sun and between the moon."

8. BE + military operation in which enemy forces surround a castle = to surround, usually also to harass

Answer: Besiege

BE + Siege = Besiege

More often used when castles were still in vogue, "besiege" generally means "to surround and harass" today. It used to be often used when an army surrounded a castle to force the people inside to surrender. After progress in cannons, castle walls were rendered obsolete in the face of these new powerful weapons.

9. BE + a woman with magic powers = to cast a spell over something or someone

Answer: Bewitch

BE + Witch = Bewitch

Originating in the 13th century, this word has lost most of its sinister meaning today. Often guys use this word to describe pretty girls; while a long time ago, people often used this word when talking about spells.

10. BE + someone who has to wear glasses = Wearing glasses, usually to describe an old man or nerd

Answer: Bespectacled

BE + Spectacled = Bespectacled

Spectacled should not be confused with "spectacle," which means "an unusual sight." Someone can wear spectacles but they should not be considered a spectacle just because of that trait.
