Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the relation of Mr. Henry Dashwood to Mr. John Dashwood?

Answer: Father

Mr. Henry Dashwood became the father of John Dashwood when he married the first time, and then he also became the father of Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret in the second marriage.

2. How is Harry Dashwood related to Edward Ferrars?

Answer: Nephew

Harry Dashwood is the son of Mr. John Dashwood, and Edward Ferrars is Mrs. Dashwood's brother. Thus, Edward would be Harry's uncle.

3. True or false: Margaret is Elinor's elder sister.

Answer: False

Margaret is the youngest sister of the three. Elinor is the eldest and the second daughter is Marianne.

4. How does Mrs. Jennings relate to Mr. Palmer?

Answer: Mother-in-law

Charlotte Jennings marries Mr. Palmer, which is quite surprising because she is a chatty empty-headed woman and Mr. Palmer is described as an educated and sensible man.

5. How does Mrs. Ferrars relate to Mrs. John Dashwood?

Answer: Mother

Mrs. Ferrars is the proud and snobbish mother of Mrs. Dashwood, who tries to put down Elinor because of her relationship with Edward Ferrars.

6. What is the relationship between Mrs. Hayter and Mrs. Musgrove?

Answer: Sisters

Therefore, when Charles Hayter married Henrietta Musgrove, he married his cousin. It happens quite a lot in Austen's books and I guess it was approved of and even encouraged in her times.

7. True or false: Charles Musgrove has two sons named Henry and John.

Answer: False

Charles and Mary Musgrove's children are named Charles and Walter. Because of the injury that little Charles gets, Anne was able to avoid meeting Captain Wentworth for some time after his arrival.

8. Who was James Stevenson in relation to Sir Walter Elliot?

Answer: Father-in-law

James Stevenson was Lady Elliot's father, which was proudly written in 'Baronetage' - the only book Sir Walter liked to read.

9. True or false: Richard "Dick" Musgrove was Louisa Musgrove's brother.

Answer: True

He served on the same ship with Captain Wentworth, then he died and was little thought of until Captain Wentworth payed a visit to Musgroves.

10. Did Louisa Musgrove become a wife of Captain Wentworth?

Answer: No

Anne Elliot marries Captain Wentworth, and Louisa Musgrove marries Captain Benwick, who took care of her after the Lyme accident.
