The Blockland Knowledge Test

Welcome to the blockland knowledge test! Basically, I give you a question in the poll above, and you must answer it. After a while, I will announce the correct answer and I will start the next question.

CORRECT ANSWERS
Question 1: "What word means "A artist's defining work"?": Magnum Opus;

A magnum opus isnt necessarily their BEST work - It even says so in your definition

Also is this directly taken from my topic I made like a week ago...

Yes it was:

And you were douching it up in there too, this is odd

A magnum opus isnt necessarily their BEST work - It even says so in your definition

I feel that defining a magnum opus as one's best work makes my life a whole lot easier. There are too many other convoluted bullstuff English phrases and tendencies to worry about.

Definitely paintbrush

i'd use masterpiece to describe someones best piece of work but i guess thats just me

Question 1 over, time for question 2!

Am I getting trolled? Is this what getting trolled is now?



Alright, i'm running out of ideas.
Suggest a question please. Do not say the answer, just PM me the answer.
