  1. Your shadow.
  2. So just finish your vegetables.
  3. Meat.
  4. They are palindromes; they read the same both ways.
  5. The alphabet ‘g’.
  6. A secret.
  7. His horse’s name is Friday.
  8. A coffin.
  9. Beetle.
  10. Because the fishing group comprises of a grandfather, his son, and his son’s son – hence just three people.
  11. Smiles - Because a ‘mile’ exists between the two S’s. While that is a good answer to the riddle, the actual longest English word is 'floccinaucinihilipilification'- which means'to describe something as worthless, or turning something into being worthless by deprecating it.'
  12. Your breath.
  13. Both are in water - WaTer.
  14. e, n, t – The first letter of the numbers from one to ten.
