The question just asks what in North America, meaning the continent.

Never go to Canada, as although their country happens to be on the continent of North America, they are Canadians, unlike their southern neighbours who lazily refer to themselves as Americans, even though their collection of States is just one of the countries that go to make up that continent.

OK, here are the answers.

1. The one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends .... Boxing

2. North American landmark constantly moving backwards .... Niagara Falls (The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.)

3. Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons .... Asparagus and rhubarb.

4. The fruit with its seeds on the outside .... Strawberry.

5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside the bottle. (The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.)

6. Three English words beginning with 'dw' .... Dwarf, dwell and dwindle .

7. Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar. Full stop, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.

8. The only vegetable or fruit never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form but fresh .... Lettuce.

9. Six or more things you can wear on your feet beginning with 'S' .... Shoes, socks, sandals, sneakers, slippers, skis, skates, snowshoes, stockings, stilts.
