Elementary spelling

Written Round6 Questions

10 points(5 points for the answer + 5 points for the elemental breakup)

• This round is about spelling with element symbols• The answers can be made up by combining a group

of atomic symbols. So we want you to give us the symbols as the answer

• E.g. If the answer to a question is Genetics, we want you to write it as Ge + Ne + Ti + Cs

• Now the last two letters can be either Cs for Caesium or C and S for Carbon and Sulphur. To make life easier, we’re looking only for two letter symbols

Q.1

• This English word for ‘eating outside’ comes from the Italian words for outside, at a fresh temperature.

Q.2• Job 40:15-24Behold now the ________ that I have made with you; he eats grass like cattle.Behold now his strength is in his loins and his power is in the navel of his belly.His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.His limbs are as strong as copper, his bones as a load of iron.His is the first of God's ways; only his Maker can draw His sword.For the mountains bear food for him, and all the beasts of the field play there.Does he lie under the shadows, in the cover of the reeds and the swamp?Do the shadows cover him as his shadow? Do the willows of the brook surround him?Behold, he plunders the river, and does not harden; he trusts that he will draw the Jordan into his mouth.With His eyes He will take him; with snares He will puncture his nostrils.

Fill in the blanks with a word that is used metaphorically to mean anything enormous or powerful.

Q.3

• This word is used to describe the dorsal (upper) section of the exoskeleton or shell in a number of animal groups, including arthropods such as crustaceans and arachnids, as well as vertebrates such as turtles and tortoises. In arachnids, this is formed by the fusion of prosomal tergites into a single plate which carries the eyes, ocularium, ozopores (a pair of openings of the scent gland of Opiliones) and diverse phaneres. An alternative term for this part in arachnids and their relatives, which avoids confusion with crustaceans, is prosomal dorsal shield. What's the good word?

• It’s the purple region in the picture.

Q.4

• A ________ is a rock fragment which becomes enveloped in a larger rock during the latter's development and hardening. Although the term is most often used to describe inclusions in igneous rock during magma emplacement and eruption, a broad definition could include rock fragments which have become encased in sedimentary rock. These are sometimes also found in recovered meteorites. The Greek words that describe this concept should give you the word.

Q.5 Identify the material

Q.6

• In 1861, the word “__________" was coined by Gustave de Ponton d'Amécourt, a French inventor who demonstrated a small, steam-powered model. While celebrated as an innovative use of a new metal, aluminum, the model didn’t achieve its intended purpose. D'Amecourt's linguistic contribution would survive to eventually describe what he had envisioned.
