Man I'm stupid. Instead of putting "carnivore", I put animals that were carnivores, like cougars and cheetahs. What the heck is wrong with my brain?!?!?
To be fair, I was so confused as to what a polite bow was because all I could think of was the weapon you use to shoot arrows. So a polite weapon made specifically for women? Took me way too long to read it as "bao" instead of "bo"
Yeah, I eventually got calligraphy, but also tried various correct and incorrect spellings of cursive first. I definitely feel cursive should also be accepted.
One of friends handwriting is utterly illegible but looks fancy (mine is just messy). I feel like attaining that balance should be considered an art form.
And if there's ever another ruler of all Islam, his title will also be Caliph. That's why IS is trying to establish a Caliphat rather than an empire or kingdom.
Lots of people have claimed to be caliphs though there hasn't been a true caliph for quite a long time, including the Ottomans who never ruled over India or Indonesia, for example.
Completely different things my good man. You wouldn't accept a Cottage as an answer for a Castle would you. A Chalet is an alpine cottage made out of logs, a Chateau is a huge country manor house usually set in acres arable and pasture land.
Breezed through this except for random blanks on 'coven' and 'cameo' that near drove me mad. Fortunately someone called in the midst of this and as soon as I got off the phone I was able to recall them instantly. Odd how the brain works.
But this isn't a French to English translation quiz, it's a quiz about English vocabulary that starts with the letter C. Chateau is a loan word from French used in English, and as used in English it connotes a manor house. In the original French the word château can be used to describe what English speakers would call a castle, a manor, a country house, a palace, or a fortress. All of these things are distinct in English but they can be described with the same word in French. Loan words don't always mean the same thing in the language they were loaned to.
Played this straight after playing "4 letter geography words" quiz, so I kept thinking the answer was C-words with only 4 letters, even though I knew the answer for the first minute and a half of the quiz. D'oh!
I started out looking only for four-letter answers too - but I didn't take the other quizzes directly before. I wonder what triggered that? I spent the first minute confused at how little I knew, then the next minute resetting my brain. Managed to finish somehow.
Not that the question is incorrect but wouldn't that title also be acceptable for anyone that oversees any significant collection not just art. For libraries of historical texts it is used as well.
actually I looked it up in the dictionary and it's not so much the size but the material - so in rock (it says) the fissure is called crevice whereas in ice it's called crevasse...go figure
A corpse refers to just a dead body, if i were to die right now and be buried and my body never be tested then i would be a corpse, however, if i got an autopsy or donated my organs etc., i would be undergoing medical examination thus a cadaver.
