The nickname of the state is the “Keystone State”. The name of the state means “Penn’s woods” or “Penn’s land”. It referred to land that King Charles II of England gave to Quaker William Penn in repayment of a debt owed to his father. At first, Penn hoped to name the land Sylvania. The state motto is virtue, liberty, and independence. The two major cities in Pennsylvania are Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, a busy inland river port. The Amish, a group of people who live without the use of modern technology, live in the countryside of Pennsylvania. The capital is Harrisburg.

9/11, Pennsylvania looks so fascinating! ?
Great job on the quiz. Pennsylvania is an amazing state with all the history it has.
I really enjoy your quiz. I met another country.
Glad you are enjoying this. The U.S. is a complicated country because it is divided up into 50 states.
good one RasmaSandra… now another one learning here.
Glad to hear you tried and you learned something about the state.
we have to learn something somehow, otherwise we are just wasting our time here.
9/11 isn’t the best score…
But it is a good score. Well done, Alex.
should’ve done better, I spent a lot of time there…
Got 8 right. It helped to read your intro before taking the quiz. Nice one.
Great score. Glad you enjoyed it. That is my little trick to see if people read the intro and to also give clues to the answers so you can also learn something about the state.
Got them all correct, great quiz.
Congratulations Carol. As I do more of these quizzes you should have no problems.
You got 5 out of 11 right!
Not so bad
but now I’m a stranger…
That is not bad at all Albert especially if you didn’t know anything about the state. Did you pick up some of the clues?
Unfortunately I did not pay too much attention to the clues.
I will learn a lot about America because I’ve learned so little … the result of a disaster
The main thing is to learn something about each U.S. state.
I’m pleased with this score – I got 8 right! I’d love to visit Pennsylvania.
Very good. Pennsylvania is a great state. More states coming up.
Always fun to learn more about states. Pennsylvania sits just north of Maryland and we’ve driven through it many times!
Glad you’re enjoying the quizzes Doc. I enjoy putting them together.
🙂 plus you are 6 or so into a series of 50 posts! Unless you also include Guam and Puerto Rico!
My intention is to just do all the 50 states Doc. I have some ideas for other kinds of quizzes too so I’ll see how it goes.
