Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I can close the door, but "close" has another meaning when it's pronounced just a little differently. What's the other meaning? You won't have to search far for the answer.

Answer: near

As a verb, "close" means to shut something, but as an adjective, it means "near". It's pronounced almost the same, except for the different sound of the "s".
2. Can you stand on your head? "Can" means "able to" in that sentence. But what does it usually refer to if you're shopping in the grocery store or fixing a meal and want some quick-to-prepare food?

Answer: A metal container

"Can" has several meanings. As a verb, it means "able to" but it also means to seal something in a can, and as a noun, it's the name of that container in which you seal something.
3. A combine, with the accent on the first syllable, is the big piece of machinery that harvests wheat or corn. But if you say "combine" with the accent on the second syllable, what does it mean? If you keep it together and don't panic, you can come up with the answer.

Answer: to unite or merge together

The name of the farm machine actually comes from the other meaning of "combine", even though they're pronounced differently. The machine combines several steps in one and can harvest many grains more quickly than if each step needed done separately.
4. Did you win the contest fair and square? Your opponent doesn't think so, and he wants to contest the result. "Contest" is pronounced differently in those two sentences and it means something different, too. What does "contest" mean, if your suspicious opponent wants to contest the result?

Answer: dispute

A "contest", with the accent on the first syllable, is a noun that means a competition, but if you put the accent on the second syllable, it's a verb that means to oppose a decision or to try to attain a position of power.
5. Window glass is clear. But if a falling piano is headed toward you and you jump clear of it, that's another meaning of "clear." What is that other meaning?

Answer: out of the way

"Clear" has several meanings: transparent, out of the way, or also to remove things from, such as to clear the table after a meal.
6. A warm kitten lies content on the bed. It's happy and satisfied. But "content," with the accent on the first syllable, has a different meaning. Can you guess what it is? Don't be distracted by all the other words and information on this page!

Answer: information or things that are in something

"Content" with the accent on the first syllable means anything held by something else, whether it's all the words which are the content of a website, or hot chocolate with is the content of a Thermos.
7. They say a leopard can't change his spots, but you can change your clothes. When it's used as a verb, "change" means to make something different. When it's used as a noun, though, it's what a store owner gives you back or what a poor person asks for. What's the other meaning of change?

Answer: coins

"Change" as a noun can mean coins, but it can also mean the act of making something different. For example, one could say, "I will change from shoes to sandals," and afterwards, using change as a noun, "The change from shoes to sandals makes my feet feel cooler."
8. Cars have consoles where the controls and cupholders are, but that meaning of console, with the accent on the first syllable, won't help if your friend is sad because her dog died. What's another meaning of console, with the accent on the second syllable?

Answer: comfort

Console, as a noun with the accent on the first syllable, can also mean the housing of a TV or other electronics, but as electronic items get slimmed down, they don't have big consoles like old TV sets. As a verb, with the accent on the second syllable, console will always be necessary, because it means to comfort someone who's feeling grief or sadness.
9. Copper wires conduct electricity. It flows easily along the copper. But you might be awarded a good conduct medal if you perform well at something in particular. What is this second meaning of conduct, with the accent on the first syllable?

Answer: behavior

A wire conducts electricity, or a tour guide conducts a stranger around town. Used that way, with the accent on the second syllable, "conduct" means to direct or guide, because both the stranger and the electricity go where they're directed. But with the accent on the first syllable, "conduct" means one's behavior, and it can be used either as a verb or a noun.
10. The weather is turning cool. While that may be true, it doesn't mean the weather is becoming any less boring. If one of your teachers or your friends is cool, what does that mean?

Answer: they're fashionable and fun

"Cool", as a word meaning fashionable, up-to-the-minute, trendy, awesome or exciting, has been around so long it's now in most every dictionary, though usually with a label that it's informal or slang. "Cool" can also mean calm or composed: He kept his cool as the bull charged toward him.

But it's usually easy to tell from context when someone is using with its original meaning, low in temperature.
