QFTCIMI515 Final, Round 4: Arts & Literature

[Mark Brader]

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-30,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 (from the first posting).

All questions were written by members of MI5, 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 2015-02-23
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".


** Final, Round 4 - Arts & Literature

* Architecture of Toronto Buildings

The University of Toronto and the surrounding area contains an
amazing variety of architecture. For each photo, just name the
style of architecture it represents. If you want to show off,
for fun but for no points, also name the buildings.

2. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-4/arch/2.jpg
3. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-4/arch/3.jpg


* Literary Deaths

4. He is the patriarch of his noble family and a proud leader
of the North. He is honorable and compassionate, but publicly
confesses to treason in order to keep his daughters safe.
He is executed by sword. Give his *first and last name*, please.

5. This character is a pure-blooded wizard. He gains lifelong
friendship in a group called "the Marauders", who fought together
during the First Wizarding War. He spends 12 years in prison and
escapes by transforming into the form of a massive black dog.
He is murdered by his cousin. Give his *first and last name*,
please.

6. We meet this character in her moldering wedding dress, wearing
one shoe and hoarding everything from the day she was left at
the altar. At the end of the novel, she dies after failing
to realize until it is too late that her wedding dress has
caught fire. Name her.


* Italian-a-Tempo

We define it; you give us the Italian word or phrase. All answers
start with the letter A.

7. What is the most common of the tempo markings that mean "brisk"
or "lively"?

8. What is the most common marking for a slow tempo, literally
meaning "at ease"?

9. What is the most common marking for a moderate pace, literally
meaning "going"?


* Wartime Novels

Tell us which war is featured in each of these novels.

10. "Flashman at the Charge" by George MacDonald Fraser.
11. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway.
12. "In Country" by Bobbie Ann Mason.

Dunno, but why didn't he transform 12 years earlier?

It's been some years since I read the, but there's a detailed writeup
of the plot at:

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Prisoner_of_Azkaban

He always had the ability to transform into a dog, and indeed had
used it frequently while in prison. What he didn't have before was
a motivation to escape. The reason he was convicted there was that
he had been framed by the person who had really committed the crime.
After 12 years in prison he happened to see the actual criminal in
a news photo, so now he knew where to find him; and that made it
worthwhile to try to escape and go after him.

About 30 years ago, in a food court near where I was then working,
there was a hamburger place called "Dante's Inferno". I liked
their burgers, but they seemed to need much longer to cook them
than anywhere else did.

I suggested to co-workers that we should call the place Andante's.

if you were ruled wrong, think your answer is correct, and want to
protest, then you'll need to find a cite that refers to the specific
building shown and describes it as being in the style you named.

For the record: I answerd "Vivace" which also means "lively". However,
