Word Quiz


BETSY - Answers

1. Ballroom dance. The beguine is similar to a rhumba.

2. Light brown. The green-and-ecru blouse complemented her hazel eyes.

3. Four sides (tetra means four). One kind of tetrahedron is called a rhombus—it’s sort of a squished square.

4. A cool desert. Spumoni is made of layers of different-flavored ice cream, and often contains fruit and pistachio nuts.

5. A gossipy person, especially a woman. The yenta had a yen to go into others’ sins.

6. Can’t recall a certain word. Thanks to Betsy Jones, who sent us this rare word. The condition was identified by Jung in 1913, but the word is not in most dictionaries yet.
