Inquizition's Skeleton Quiz

Formally called 'Quizzical', I have decided to resurrect the 'Skeleton' quiz which the vowels to the words are missing. For example: ML (small burrowing mammal with velvety dark fur). The answer is 'mole'. These increase in difficulty. Have fun.

A multiple-choice quiz by Inquizition. Estimated time: 11 mins.
