Bug description:
Binary package hint: gbrainy

Several of the verbal questions have errors in them. Jordi asked me to put them all in one bug report.


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "MultipleOptions">An artist that has became an enduring icon is?</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">emblem</_answer>
		<_answer>innovator</_answer>
		<_answer>pioneer</_answer>
		<_answer>martyr</_answer>
	</analogy>

I am not familiar with emblem being used in this context.


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">fish / aquarium | monkey</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">zoo</_answer>
	</analogy>

Could be interpreted in several ways.
where do monkeys live: tree, jungle etc
where do monkeys live in captivity: cage
An aquarium can mean a fish tank, as well as an attraction at a person would visit.
where should i go to see monkeys in captivity: zoo
But most zoos also have fish in them.


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">ring / finger | bracelet</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">wrist</_answer>
	</analogy>

Maybe 'arm' should be an option aswell


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">seals / flippers | bird</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">wings</_answer>
	</analogy>

Either bird should be birds, or seals should be seal.


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">tears / eyes | sweat</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">body</_answer>
	</analogy>

Skin or Pore(s), are also good answers. A guess feet or armpits could be valid. Wikipedia suggests sweat gland.

	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">dish / break | balloon</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">burst</_answer>
	</analogy>

Also 'pop'


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">bridge / over | tunnel</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">in</_answer>
	</analogy>

Also 'under' or 'through'


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">eyebrow / eye | mustache</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">lip</_answer>
	</analogy>

Also 'mouth'


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">whirlpool / water | tornado</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">wind</_answer>
	</analogy>

Also 'air'


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">slurp / tongue | snort</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">nose</_answer>
	</analogy>

I would not associate slurping with the tongue, maybe should be "slurp / mouth | snort"


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">novel / author | song</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">composer</_answer>
	</analogy>

Also 'writer'



	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">art / studio | music</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">conservatory</_answer>
	</analogy>

Really not sure about this one. Although dictionary.com has conservatory as a music school, that's not a common definition in English. Music would usually be recorded in a studio, or performed in a concert hall or band stand, but then art should probably be gallery. Probably best to drop this question. Maybe replace with
	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">art / gallery | drama</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">theatre</_answer>
	</analogy>


	<analogy>
		<_question type = "PairOfWordsCompare">car / road | train</_question>
		<_answer correct ="yes">track</_answer>
	</analogy>
Also 'railway', 'train track', 'rail'
