The answer is:

The next question is:

You are correct!


5. In many liquor stores you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is
whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasnt been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?

Which ship- the Nina or the Santa Maria? wink

It grew inside the bottle. (The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.)

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters dw and they are all common words. Name two of them.
