for the study of, yes, but not for going into the caves (though ofcourse it can overlap because ofcourse part of that study can involve actually going into caves)
From Wikipedia: "Speleology or Spelacology is the scientific study of caves and other karst features, their make-up, structure, physical properties, history, life forms, and the processes by which they form and change over time. The term speleology is also sometimes applied to the recreational activity of exploring caves, but this is more properly known as caving, spelunking or potholing." (While the article indicates the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, it also suggests such usage isn't technically correct.)
As most cavers I know take it more seriously, they would use the word speleologist rather than spelunker, to describe their cave exploring. Spelunking brings to mind people who do it more recreationally as the wiki page says and so they are not really 'exploring' it.
I got it right, but I think I only remember from taking this quiz like 5 years ago! after swish I immediately thought ow wasn't there some argument about spelunking, and indeed there it came, so then I knew I had taken this quiz before
I think sire should count for an un-castrated male. If a male horse is a sire to another, he definitely is still fertile. Also, I would normally think of a sortie as an attack from a fortress by a besieged party upon their besiegers. Great quiz!
The wording makes it unclear if it is asking for a type of military flight, or what all military flights are called. So at this point, strike should be accepted :)
On one side I'm proud of myself for thinking of suffrage for "the right to vote". On the other side I'm angry I wrote it "souffrage" so I didn't get the point. The word has always sounded French to me.
yup also tried singe and scorch and also scour and even scold. After like a minute I still ended up getting it (but not some others, though I know it now I see the answer. I would not have know sortie though)
I tried synopsis aswel, but don't think it should be accepted, that is more like a summary while syllabus is more like a program, as in schedule things planned.
I also found the basket-making question to be weirdly specific and didn't know why a ball was involved (but given how little I know about making baskets... I figured maybe a ball was involved).
Google seems to agree. But idk anything about horse breeding.
"A stud colt is a male colt 4 or younger that hasn't been gelded. Stallion and stud are interchangeable terms for an adult, intact male horse, regardless of his breeding status"
You can make the text bigger using your web browser's features; on most desktops, find the "View" menu and select the "Zoom" option, zoom in to make the text bigger. It will have a keyboard shortcut listed to make this easier.
On mobile, you can pinch to zoom. You may also be interested in your phone's accessibility features, so I recommend exploring that in your phone's settings.
The Stop button on quizzes can be used to stop the clock so you can take the quiz untimed; it's next to the answer box and the Pause button.
Stallion should be accepted, and wiktionary refers to stallion at steed. Stag does not seem to fit.
A stud is the place where horses are bred. A stallion STANDS at a STUD.
Sire was mentioned in another comment - that means father (noun or verb). Sire and dam = father and mother.
