If you check something, you can examine or stop it. Check is also a noun, as in baggage check, or as in a slip that tells you how much you must pay for something.
2. If you used the word 'checkmate', which game would you be playing?

Checkmate is when you have made your final winning move and your opponent has nowhere to move his king. Anatoly Karpov and Gary Kasparov were famous chess grand masters.

When you have finished your shopping, you head for the checkout. There, the cashier tells you how much you have spent and takes your money.
4. If someone gave you a carte blanche, what kind of check did you get?

Answer: A blank check

If you have a blank check, you have complete freedom of action. It could also be a check that has been signed, but the amount of money is unspecified.
5. What do you do on arrival in the airport?

Answer: Check in

When you get to the airport, you check in at the check-in. You report your presence at the airline desk and arrange your seat for the flight.
6. What is a houndstooth check?

Answer: A kind of pattern

A houndstooth is a small, broken-check pattern. Usually checked patterns resemble neat squares, as found on a checkerboard. Shepherd's check is another kind of pattern, with small, even, black and white checks.
7. A check mark has a different name in England. What would the British call it?

Answer: check up

A bed check is when a night inspection is conducted to see if everyone is present - soldiers might have these. A spot check is a quick, or random, investigation. A slap check is something I made up.
9. If you take a rain check, what could you do?

Answer: All of these

This term comes from baseball, where paying spectators of the 1880s were offered rain checks when the game they had paid to watch was postponed due to the weather.
10. "No check, no stay, this Streamlet fears; How merrily it goes!" Who wrote the poem 'The Fountain, A Conversation' from which these lines were taken?

Answer: William Wordsworth

The poem is about a conversation held by the writer and an old man named Matthew. They are lying beneath an oak tree, beside a fountain, discussing nature's beauties and their lives. Wordsworth lived from 1770-1850 and is associated with the English Lake District, where he lived for much of his life.
