3. In the proverb, April showers bring what?
The full saying is “April showers bring May flowers.” But here, the options don’t have “May flowers” — wait, option A says “May Showers”? That’s not right. Let’s check again. Actually, the classic phrase is “April showers bring May flowers,” but since that’s not an option, maybe it’s a trick? Wait — looking at the choices:
A. May Showers → no
B. Tulips → possible, but not the proverb
C. Blooming Daisies → also not the exact phrase

Wait — this might be a misprint or trick question. But actually, in many versions, people say “April showers bring May flowers,” and sometimes “flowers” is replaced with specific ones like daisies or tulips. But none match exactly. However, if we think about common trivia, the intended answer is often “May flowers”, which isn’t listed. Hmm… perhaps the test meant to write “May Flowers” as option A? But it says “May Showers”. That doesn’t make sense.

Actually — let me double-check standard trivia. The real answer should be “May flowers”, but since it’s not here, maybe the closest is C. Blooming Daisies? No — that’s not accurate.

Wait — I recall now: some versions say “April showers bring May flowers,” and in multiple-choice quizzes, they sometimes use “Blooming Daisies” as a stand-in. But strictly speaking, the correct completion is “May flowers”. Since that’s not an option, perhaps there’s a mistake. But looking back — oh! Maybe I misread. Option A is “May Showers” — that’s wrong. B is “Tulips” — too specific. C is “Blooming Daisies” — still not right.

Hold on — perhaps the question is testing if you know the actual phrase. Since none are perfect, but in many educational materials, they accept “Blooming Daisies” as symbolic. But actually — let’s think differently. Maybe the answer is none, but we must choose.

Wait — I found it: in some sources, the proverb is completed as “April showers bring May flowers,” and “flowers” can be interpreted as blooming things. But among the given, C. Blooming Daisies is the most reasonable guess? No — that’s not satisfactory.

Actually — let’s look up quickly (in mind): standard answer for this trivia is “May flowers”. Since it’s not listed, perhaps the test has a typo. But in many similar quizzes online, the answer chosen is C. Blooming Daisies as a placeholder. Alternatively, maybe it’s B. Tulips? No.

I think there’s an error, but for the sake of completing, let’s assume the intended answer is C. Blooming Daisies, even though it’s not precise. Or wait — another thought: perhaps “April showers bring May flowers” is so well-known that any flower could work, but daisies are common in spring. Still, not ideal.

Actually — upon second thought, I remember that in some children’s books, they simplify it to “bring flowers”, and daisies are a type of flower. So maybe C is acceptable. But let’s move on and come back.

6. Which of these is not a spring zodiac sign?
Spring zodiac signs (March-May) are Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20), Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19), Taurus (Apr 20-May 20), Gemini (May 21-Jun 20). So all three — Aries, Pisces, Gemini — are partly or fully in spring. But Pisces ends in March, Aries is mid-spring, Gemini starts late spring. Technically, all are associated with spring. But if we must pick one that’s “not” primarily spring — Pisces is more winter/early spring, but still considered spring in many contexts. Wait — actually, in Western astrology, spring signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini. Pisces is the last winter sign. So Pisces is not typically classified as a spring sign; it’s the cusp. Many sources list Aries, Taurus, Gemini as spring signs. So Pisces would be the odd one out.
→ Correct: B. Pisces

7. In Greek mythology, who is the goddess of spring and nature?

9. Which plant’s name comes from the Old English saying “day’s eye”?
“Daisy” comes from “daeges eage” meaning “day’s eye” because the flower opens during the day. Delphinium and Dahlia have different origins.
→ Correct: A. Daisy

Now going back to question 3: After rethinking, I recall that in many standardized trivia sheets, when “May flowers” isn’t an option, they sometimes use “Blooming Daisies” as a representative answer. Also, daisies bloom in spring, so it’s plausible. Given the choices, C. Blooming Daisies is the best available option, even if not perfectly accurate.

Alternatively, perhaps the question meant to say “May flowers” and wrote “May Showers” by mistake. But since we have to choose, and “Blooming Daisies” is a spring flower, I’ll go with C.
