Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Start with a 7-letter word. To say something in reply.

Answer: respond

'Respond' also refers to doing something as a reaction to something. One needs to respond fast to the questions in the hourly and daily games on FunTrivia for more points. The word 'respond' is derived from the Latin word 'responsum'.
2. Drop a letter and unscramble. An individual human.

Answer: person

In formal context, the word 'person' refers to an unspecified individual. The word is gender-neutral, which led to an increase in the use of the word. The word 'person' is a word of Germanic origin.
3. Drop another letter and unscramble. Unit of reproduction produced by fungi for unfavourable conditions.

Answer: spore

Spores are a part of the life cycle of many fungi and protozoa. Spores are unicellular and usually haploid, i.e., having only one set of chromosomes. They are released by the mycelium in unfavourable conditions. On receiving favourable conditions for growth, such as moisture, and sunlight, the spores grow into new organisms.
4. Drop yet another letter and unscramble. A flower associated with love.

Answer: rose

Roses belong to the family Rosaceae. Rose flowers can be of various colours. The white roses traditionally depict a purer and virtuous form of love. The rose plant also has use in cosmetics, and to make perfumes.
5. Drop another letter and unscramble. A rock metals are mined from.

Answer: ore

Metals can be found in either combined or free state in ores. Less reactive metals like gold are usually found in free state. Metals are obtained from sulphide ores by roasting, or strong heating in open air. Metals are obtained from carbonate ores by calcination, or strong heating in anaerobic conditions.
6. Drop a last letter to get a word of two letters. A conjunction.

Answer: or

'Or' is a coordinating conjunction. This means that it links two main clauses which independently are meaningful. 'Or' is used mainly to show an alternative, where the two main clauses serve as choices, or oppose each other.
7. Now, add a letter and unscramble. Mass of ripe eggs found in certain fish.

Answer: roe

Roe is produced in fish such as salmon, as well as in shrimp and sea urchins. The mass of ripe eggs can either be found in the ovary, or released externally. Roe is used to make caviar, a fish dish produced mainly in the regions around the Caspian Sea.
8. Add another letter and unscramble. Repetitive and mechanical method of learning.

Answer: rote

Rote learning was popular in the past. Educationists believed that repetition of facts and information would ensure that the student would memorise it properly. However, rote learning was shown to incite rebellion in students, who would lose interest in the subject. A more interactive and thought-invoking method of learning is encouraged instead of rote learning.
9. Add yet another letter and unscramble. A fish-eating mammal of the weasel family.

Answer: otter

Otters belong to the subfamily Lutrinae in the family Mustelidae. Otters are usually semiaquatic or aquatic. Their main food is fish. However, they also eat frogs, crabs and other invertebrates. The Asian small-clawed otter is the smallest otter species, while the giant otter and the sea otter are the largest otter species.
10. Add a final letter to produce a word of six letters. Spoilt, unpleasant. Used as an adjective, or an adverb.

Answer: rotten

Decaying food is also referred to as 'rotten'. The word 'rotten' is also used to describe something very poor or bad in quality. Rotten food should not be eaten, as its consumption can lead to diseases. This is because food usually gets rotten due to the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.
