These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-11-14,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Misplaced Modifiers
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 8, Round 9 - Miscellaneous - "Be-" Words
Many English words, like "behold" and "behoove", begin with the
Old English prefix "be-". From a definition and the part of speech,
you name the "be-" word. Note: only the correct part of speech
will be accepted for full points.
1. Verb, meaning to elaborate or expound an argument excessively.
2. Adjective, meaning engaged to be married.
3. Verb, meaning to lament; express regret or sorrow.
4. Verb, meaning to initiate amicable relations.
5. Adjective, meaning intellectually or morally ignorant.
6. Verb, meaning to plague or afflict.
7. Verb, meaning to scold, rebuke, criticize.
8. Adjective, used for goods made to order, especially clothing.
9. Adjective, meaning under an obligation or debt.
10. Adjective, used of a sailing ship deprived of wind and thus
unable to move.
11. Extra question for fun, but for no points: Just as sailing
ships can become <answer 10>, electric trains on a third-rail
system can similarly become unable to move if they stop exactly
on a discontinuity in the third rail. What adjective -- no, it
does *not* start with "be-" -- describes that situation?
** Game 8, Round 10 - Challenge Round - Cities
* A. Entertainment: Soap Operas
For each of these soap operas, what city is it set in?
A1. "The Young and the Restless".
A2. "All My Children".
* B. Geography: African Capitals
B1. Name the capital city of Malawi.
B2. Name the capital city of Burundi.
* C. Sports: Major League Soccer
Name the city for each of these MLS teams.
C1. Earthquakes.
C2. Fire.
* D. Canadiana: Largest Cities by Area
D1. The 4 largest Canadian cities by area are found in which
province?
D2. Which provincial capital is largest by *area*?
* E. History: Italian City-States
E1. Name the city which was the seat of power for the Medici
family.
E2. In 1525, Milan came under the control of the Hapsburg line --
of which country?
* F. Literature: Fictional Cities
F1. Name the largest city and capital of the planet Dune.
F2. Name the fictional New York (state) city that's the
setting for a number of Kurt Vonnegut novels, including
"Slaughterhouse-Five", "Cat's Cradle", and "Player Piano".
