Many words have more than one meaning. For instance, 'set' can mean a division in a game of tennis, to solidify, or to lay the table. In this quiz, you need to find one word that can replace three words or phrases in the question.
-1.The part of your anatomy below the ankle is over twelve inches long. Be careful or you'll hit it on the base of the stairs. 4 letters
-2.Yes, Peter. The audience might have liked the separate compartment of the house, but I didn't think it had much space in which you could perform with the orchestra. 4
-3.I hope there isn't an ursine creature around here. I couldn't tolerate it if the apple trees I expected to produce a bountiful harvest are stripped of all their fruit. 4
-4.Please pass me that stiff piece of paper. I'd like to post it to a friend I met at the nine race programme at Flemington. He is such a character and I'd like to keep in touch. 4
-5.Isabelle placed the dial of her clock on the surface of a solid object before she attempted to climb the vertical side of the mountain. 4
-6.It's a pleasure to watch Jim shape that piece of wood on his lathe. He will then revolve to the left to face the colonial window in his shed so he can look at the leaves as they change colour. 4
-7.The political party made Julia put a different slant on her speeches in order to garner more votes. The political machine behind the party also suggested she twirl as she made her way across the stage before she was to narrate an amusing yarn. 4
8.Tom, please don't compress that ochre-coloured gourd into my drink. It's a fruit-based, refreshing drink and I really don't think the flavours will mesh. 6
9.This guidebook to Australian cricket grounds has a beautiful picture on the part which envelopes the book and protects it from damage. It also has statistics such as who fielded most often in the position to the right of point. A fieldsman in that position can travel many miles in a day as he runs after the cricket ball. 5
-10.Inspector Plod of Scotland Yard thought this was a tricky criminal investigation. The villain packed away her jewelled possessions in a velvet-lined container before heading off to the Old Bailey for the hearing of her legal argument. 4
