One of the categories on a recent “Jeopardy” with Alex Trebek was ‘“A ‘B’ 6 Shot.”’ Each correct response was a six-letter word starting with B. In this week’s column, the first four are from “Jeopardy.” I thought of the last six.
Please let me know how well you did.
{1.} “Job title of a college treasurer”
{2.} “It’s the crime of having two wives at once.”
{3.} “It’s the printed name of the author of an accompanying news story.”
{4.} “A narrative folk poem, or a simple, romantic song”
{5.} A high-altitude capital city in South America
{6.} Oh, this is so interesting but interesting is the antonym of this adjective.
{7.} Last name of an Argentinian poet whose works include Ficciones and El Aleph, both written in the 1940s
{8.} “Giselle,” “The Sleeping Beauty,” “Don Quixote” and “La Bayadere” are examples.
{9.} In late 1957, I was one of many cute __ in the world.
{10.} This is what Tommy and Dick Smothers did in their 1960s television show “The Smothers Brothers.”
