6. An archer keeps his arrows in a ___________.
7. Whether to put the period before or after parentheses keeps me in a ________. (So I may do

Great quiz for Q week. I think I knew most of them. For number 4 I think the answer is Quad but wasn't sure if quadrangle would be the full name. That would be my guess for the extra points. Carver, ABC Wed Team
I must get out my quill and make a note of these, quickly. They are quite splendid! blessings xx
Quite clever, you be!
ROG, ABC Wednesday team
I missed #5 and thought "quivering" for #9! So not bad, I would think!

Great quiz, - I got most of them, but not all. Wrong generation for Elvis Presley trivia.
Had NO idea a breeding cat is a Queen, and I thought the feeble voice was quavering - now not sure if it is even a word - will have to look it up - you've got me in a quandry!
Wow these are quite a great questions.
Come and take my Dementia Quiz

I think I got most of them. Number 9 has several possible answers, as in; a quiet, but queer, quavering and querulous voice was heard quizzically repeating the same question quite quickly.
Well. phooey, I missed 3. Didn't know the female breeding cat, the 24 sheets of paper or Elvis's hair style.
Great Quiz for the letter Q.
Very quirky.
This is great Chris! I thought I used about all the Q words in my introduction, but you found even more!
Wil, ABC Team.
No qualms about your quality qs. Glad you didn't quit before you reached your quota. Quite a quantity of quips and quotes!
hmmm, I didn't do so well on the Quiz! But it's a great take on the Q prompt for the day. And I learned a few new things. :-)
quite fun - thanks
Even I with my 3 cat females don't know that, lol !
As an English major, I should lie and say I did exceedingly well, but I have to admit I flunked that quiz. Then when you see the answer you smack your head and say "I knew that!" Fun Q entry.
