Wrong, wrong, wrong! Toto runs away BEFORE the twister strikes. The evil Miss Gulch takes him, but he escapes and returns home, prompting Dorothy to say, “We’ve got to get away. We’ve got to run away!” It is after their meeting with Professor Marvel that the twister occurs–just as they are reaching home again.

I got all the ‘Harry/Sally’ one correct…all the ‘10 Commandments’ wrong. Not sure what that means!

Lori, the scene pictured where Toto runs away is when Dorothy is being held captive in the witch’s castle. You can tell this because the shot is in color. Toto also ran away after Miss Gulch takes him, jumping out of the basket on her bike, but that was while the film was still in B&W.
I missed the first 2, got all the rest. I’ve never seen When Harry Met Sally.

Some of your answers for the Ape or Human quiz are highly debated among anthropologists. Just bc a few apes can use sign language does not mean that all can form sentences. Also try to get an adult chimp to do anything that it does not want to do i.e. sign language. Puhlease!
