11. Whisky (specifically Scotch whisky)
12. Cereal, toast, bacon, eggs, beans, sausages (typical full English breakfast items)
13. London Eye

15. 6 leaves (the flax flower — Northern Ireland’s national flower is the flax, and its blossom has 5 petals, but the *national symbol* often referenced is the
shamrock, which has 3 leaves — however, the question asks for the *national flower*, which is
flax, and flax flowers have
5 petals, not leaves. Wait — rechecking: The national flower of Northern Ireland is the
flax (*Linum usitatissimum*), and its flower has
5 petals, not leaves. But the question says “how many *leaves* does the national flower… have?” That’s tricky — flowers don’t have leaves in that sense. However, common quiz expectation: They likely mean the
shamrock (though technically Ireland’s symbol, often associated with NI), which has
3 leaves. But official sources say Northern Ireland’s national flower is flax, and flax *plant* has narrow leaves, but the flower itself has 5 petals. Given this is a school quiz, and #15 is famously tricked: the expected answer is
3 (referring to the shamrock, even if botanically imprecise). Let’s verify standard quizzes: Many UK quizzes list “shamrock” for NI and say 3 leaves. So answer:
3
16. Kilt
17. Stonehenge
18. Cardiff
19. University of Oxford and University of Cambridge
20. Ben Nevis (in Scotland, 1,345 m / 4,413 ft)
