For some reason, “moribund” and “galley” do not register as correct answers when I select them.

It appears from the stats that others do not encounter this.

That's because Moribund and Galley are not correct answers.

Ah … I am misinterpreting how the results display. I was thinking the YES and NO areas reflected my actual choices, rather than the correct answers.

The reason being not knowing the meaning of that words.

Why didn't you search for it before posting this comment?

I wouldn't have considered "keen" as meaning intelligent, wise etc. To me it implies enthusiasm. You can talk of a keen wit, but keen means strong or sharp in that sense; so while the phrase "having keen wits" would mean intelligent, the word keen on its own would not.

I think you might be mistaking "keen on" and "keen to" for keen.

English isn't my first language however and I just know what I pick up, but I definitely know keen can be smart/clever and that it is different from the word in combination with either of those prepositions, when it takes on the meaning of respectively liking and eager

Love the concept of "rubenesque" xd

I wouldn't even be mad at someone if they called me this in case I was overweight.

Question 3 is not right. 2 of the answers are prisons, or places of imprisonment, not fortifications. There's a big difference.

That some of them may also have another meaning, doesn't make them incorrect.

wow! I only made one mistake! And was actually very close to switching it to the correct one, with a few seconds left I ended up deciding to leave it, as I wasn't certain (wainscot and casbah, they both very faintly felt familiar but not enough to pinpoint the exact meaning). There was one word I chose I hadn't heard of though, callow, but since the others didnt seem to be it (didn't know moribund either but somehow felt wrong looking too much like mort, morbid).

Nice quiz, challenging but doable. (English isn't my native tongue but I recognized nearly all the words, for some I immediately knew the definition, for others only vaguely. Ow and never seen puerile in english but I know puer is (little) boy in latin)

I like quizzes the most when they are tough enough to make you work for it and really have to use your brain, but you get there in the end (as a result of the work, not random guessing)
