Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Under + pedestal = grasp

Answer: stand

To understand is to grasp or discern the meaning of something. Sometimes we need to ask questions to fully comprehend what is being presented.
2. Over + ulster = outerwear

Answer: coat

An Ulster is not the only type of overcoat. It is specifically a men's long, loose, woolen coat which inherits its name from a province in Northern Ireland.
3. Under + tackle = begin

Answer: Take

To undertake something is to begin or to accept a challenge or a duty. It is usually used in the context of assuming a responsibility.
4. Over + crush = swamp

Answer: whelm

If you are feeling overwhelmed, you are completely drowned in emotion. Something could be too sad, too unusual, too difficult to grasp.
5. Under + pull = riptide

Answer: tow

A riptide is a strong tidal flow of water. It is a dangerous situation for a swimmer. Even experienced swimmers run the risk of being washed out to sea by the force of it.
6. Over + attack = scalp

Answer: charge

Overcharging someone for something is to take advantage of their position and try to collect more than the article or service is worth. A good example is scalping tickets for a sporting event or a musical concert. If people want to attend one of these events, they may be willing to pay exorbitant prices just to be able to get in.
7. Under + extremity = devious

Answer: hand

Underhand means secret or hidden. It can also be used in the context of throwing a baseball or wielding a tennis racket.
8. Over + norm = veto

Answer: Rule

A president or governor has the right to veto, or overrule a bill or proposition which he does not deem workable or appropriate.
The bill or proposition would then be sent back to the legislative body for corrections or revisions before being re-submitted.
9. Under + first person possessive = weaken

Answer: Mine

To undermine a deal or a proposal is to challenge it; to label it as inferior.
10. Over + actors = cloudy

Answer: cast

Overcast is often heard in a weather forecast, predicting cloudy, rainy or unseasonable conditions, with heavy cloud cover and lacking sunshine.
11. Under + tally = emphasize

Answer: score

To underscore is to draw or type a line under a word to stress its meaning or importance.
12. Over + arrive = triumph

Answer: come

To overcome is to get past an obstacle, to triumph, to recover from an illness or a disappointment.
13. Under + green light = withstand

Answer: go

To undergo is to experience something with difficulty; something that is painful or unpleasant. Think of gum surgery or an IRS audit. That should make the meaning very clear,
14. Over + race segment = imbricate

Answer: Overlap

This is a bit of a stickler. I had not heard the word before I started researching synonyms for this quiz, but I found it very interesting and decided to add it to my vocabulary. Some examples for imbricate are the overlapping of hair when it is braided, or the way shingles are installed on a roof.
15. Under + earth = mythical place

Answer: world

This word has a definite dual meaning. It can refer to the underworld in mythology. It also is used to describe organized crime and the activities that go on with criminals conspiring to break the law in any number of ways.
