This week’s puzzle focuses on several Key Words in their proper order.

Below you will find multiple-choice listings of four words each. While all four multiple-choice words relate to each other, only one relates to the corresponding Key Word. Which one?

Note: Each multiple-choice word that relates to a corresponding Key Word relates to that word in the same way.

Once you have figured out what is going on, feel free to continue the multiple-choice “quiz”. It can run on for quite a good deal longer, though there will be a few challenging problems for the quiz writer (i.e. # 33).

Wow **Euty** , I am so impressed!

However, I think numbers 22 and 23 should be switched with numbers 25 and 26!

Good Job! I thought this would take a long time to solve, but you are very clever! Excellent!

I was going by memory. It was the Key words that set off the fireworks for me. I’m still not really sure how to approach #33, though. Chicken pieces? Beef slices? Ham …

Peregrine,

I LIKE your #33, but for the life of me I can’t think up a quiz question for #38. I think after that it’s all smooth sailing until #114.

#38 a. Bravely b. Courageously c. Valiantly d. Fearlessly

I think that’s about as close as we’re gonna get on that one.

That works for me! Anything for #114?

I’ve just worked out another puzzle involving **McMurphy** and **TheVoiceofReason.**
