The Great Vocabulary Letter Heist
For each definition, select the correct word from the four optio.. STOP THIEF! A thief has stolen one letter from each correct answer, making it harder for you to spot! Can you figure out the original answers, and catch the thief and his sack of letters before time runs out?
If the correct answer were PLANET, the thief may have stolen the E, leaving PLANT
Got "arena" but had to first weigh if you counted "palace", as there are a number of sporting venues that are referred to by that moniker. (e.g. The Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the NBA's Detroit Pistons; Cow Palace in San Francisco)
Music educator here: not all trombones have valves. If they DO have valves, they are extra F attachments, which are not standard on all trombones. The garden variety trombone that most people are familiar with have a slide, tuning slide, bell, and mouthpiece, along with connecting tubing. Only special trombones have valves. Would would be more accurate would be if the question said "trumpet" instead of "trombone". Good quiz otherwise, got 100% on the first go.
Question for nautical folks: do you actually refer to the mechanism itself as the helm? I always thought that was just the name of the location / position of authority, but my frame of reference for tall ship terminology is old pirate books & films. I was looking for "tiller" or "wheel".
I don’t think that really works, ‘rank’ is only used in this sense when it’s referring to something disgusting or foul-smelling. Doesn’t quite mean the same as ‘obscene.’
Fun idea. For 'quantity of cookies', I picked 'tube' like a tube of Oreos people sometimes talk about. Or is that 'sleeve'? Only thing I questioned. Nicely done.
randomising answers is a brilliant way to make us all play this multiple times - i can see this becoming the new thing i do far too often. love it, bravo!
Another nice quiz Kiwi. 15 attained on first attempt, but did play again twice more as you suggest. I'll be using it myself amongst friends and family :)
