I think this one was a yellow box one before, then you can not just fill in the answers at random order. But you can click them or (on computer) use the tab-key
Never heard of Bede, and I read Brave New World decades ago in high school and had no idea what the drug was called, even with two letters supplied. Oh, well.
Bede is a saint from Jarrow in the north east of England - the town next to where I grew up. He wrote an early history of England. My brother has Bede as a middle name after him.
What do you mean "Anglicised"? He already was "Anglo". You can still hear the term "bidding-prayer" in church actually, but yes it is an archaic usage.
I ended up getting "tess" and "bede" by using the two on either side and randomly filling in the middle. Whether that's cheating or clever use of mechanics, I'm not sure. I'm also amazed so few people got soma.
Great quiz regardless, some of them really made me dig through vaguely-recalled high school lit classes.
So my English Catholic school education was finally useful(?!) for something - we had to learn far too much about Bede and classical literature for my liking, but it's all stuck in my brain well enough that I can get 100% on a quiz website 25 years later!
The Norse question was off-putting as I was trying to think of an actual title. The given answer could refer to literature from so many different places and cultures
If there is a way to skip, I never found it.
Actually I was gonna say seeing as that word is old for us it, probably means a similar word excisted in old english. But I looked it up instead:
The word bede was around in the 14th century from the old english word gebed (which is the word we stíll use for prayer).
Interesting how it is the name for a saint. Edit: ah his name was originally B(a)eda, Bede is the modern anglicised version.
