"Jolly Good General Knowledge Quiz — Vol 3 (With Answers)"
Post on: May 13, 2019
For some people, acquiring knowledge is a passing interest. To others, it may be a hobby or a means to academic excellence while some even take it as an obsession. Regardless of where you stand on the spectrum, your love for learning something new is deservedly manifested.
General knowledge has been defined with much sophistication by the experts in the field. Put simply, it is the information we collect gradually from various sources like TV, books, magazines etc, on different subjects (like what Jolly Good Times offers). This is in contrast to the detailed information on subjects studied formally.
Besides making great strides academically, general knowledge helps us grow on a personal level. It makes us perceive the world with a holistic viewpoint — it helps us discern and analyse things better. After all, the world we live in is unpredictable and dynamic — we need to be abreast of occurrences to stay current and relevant.
Here are some general knowledge questions (with answers) to see how well you fare:
1. Which author wrote the popular novel, Oliver Twist?
2. What is the colour of the black box in most commercial aeroplanes?
3. Consumption is the former name for which disease?
4. How many sheets of paper are there in a ream?
5. The “Long Walk to Freedom” is the autobiography written by which president?
6. In which country is the Volkswagen car manufactured?
7. Which singer is affectionately known as the “grandfather of soul”?
8. What do you call a baby rabbit?
9. Which European country is divided into areas called Cantons?
10. In which country was the 2014 Winter Olympics games held in the town of Sochi?
11. What is known as the savage mountain? It is also the world’s second highest mountain.
12. Which planet did Superman come from?
13. In Washington DC, what does DC stands for?
14. What does the Roman numeral C represent?
15. Which is the smallest country in Africa?
16. Port Louis is the capital of which country?
17. Bedrock is a fictional prehistoric city. Who lives in Bedrock?
18. Which motivational guru quoted this: “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
19. Joan of Arc is the national heroine of which country?
20. Which country do you associate the dance “Flamenco’?
How did you fare? General knowledge encompasses way beyond trivia quizzes although it is a fun means to see how well one performs. As we meander this world of us through books, television and other media, let us not only be entertained but learn something new — a positive feature we can retain a lifetime.
