Explain/Pop quiz answers/1

This is a series of explanation for every right and wrong answer in the first pop quiz.

1

This is a reference to the page Elements, which establishes air, dirt, fire, and water to be the four main elements. Life, however is not an element. It's just a mix of all four in some ratio.

2

Similar to the previous question, this is a reference to the elements of hazard, which are acid, lava, and poison. A storm may be dangerous, but it is more like fast moving air compared to a liquid; a tornado is a specific type of storm; and an explosion is when something violently bursts.

Pay close attention to the characters of each answer. Do you notice any differences?

The page Zodiac doesn't describe the Western or Chinese zodiacs, but rather a more modern and okinesque zodiac, with a sign relating to each element and element of hazard. They are Burning, Pillar, Roach, Grave, Video, Scuba, Key, Fluke, Janitor, Zero, Drum, and Horsey.

Chicken, Slug, Worm, Kiwi, Cat, Shrimp, Amoeba, Whale, Elephant, Seal, Crane, and Dinosaur are also included, but they're more of an alternate Zodiac made of different animals. A similar zodiac is the Chinese zodiac: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. It wasn't included in the Zodiac page, as was the Western zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

The largest terrestrial animal on Earth is the elephant, with bull African bush elephants reaching up to 3.96 metres in height and 10.4 tonnes. The second-biggest group are the rhinos; male white rhinos measure up to 186 centimetres in height and average around 2,300 kilograms. Third is the hippopotamus, which stand up to 1.65 metres tall and weigh around 1,400 kilograms. Finally, the elephant seal... well, it isn't even a land animal to begin with.

This question references BUILD TO SURVIVE THE KIWIS!!!, a Roblox game. Rheas, despite being ratites, are a different king of ratite. Penguins are their own family of flightless birds. They're semi-aquatic, after all. Finally, dodos are extinct.

7

Obviously, Wiki City is the capital. Wikiland, Wiki City... do you see the similarities? Meanwhile, New Cheyenne is the capital of the grove of Ferria, Azarashihama is the capital of the grove of Phocia, and Goddess City, despite having its name refer to The Divine Goddess, is not a capital at all.

8

Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as the capital since it sits between Toronto and Quebec City, which are both the respective provincial capitals of Ontario and Quebec. Quebec City isn't an answer in the question, though. Montreal, as indicated before, isn't a capital, though it still lies on the eastern side of the Windsor-Quebec City corridor. Kingston, on the other hand, is another city that lies between two major cities (Toronto and Montreal, not Toronto and Quebec City), though it's also not a capital.
