As there is a one-way ticket, I'd think there could be a two-way ticket on this analogy, since round-trip means to me something else. OK, it includes the trip to the starting point, but not on the same route. I only knew the return ticket expression so far.
Well, logic is not the strongest point of any language except Latin.
Best wishes, Eva

Hi Eva,
Thanks for your comment! It's true, English is not always the most logical language. If you think of the trip as a circle, where the traveller returns to the starting point, it might help you to remember "round-trip".
Cheers,
Carrie

What is the right answer on question 1. I didn't find a translation of "trunk". What means "trunk"? What the right answer on question 2. I didn't know what "faucet" means!

Hi Capricorn,
thanks for your comment and for doing the quiz! I don't want to tell you what the right answers are, because I don't want to give them away to someone else who reads this before trying the quiz. But I can tell you that you can try the quiz as many times as you like until you get the correct answers.
"Trunk" is one of those English words that can mean many different things, which might be why you had a difficult time finding a translation. For example, a tree trunk is the big part of the tree that comes out of the ground. In American English, it can also be a part of a car.
