When Bella cliff-dives (or tries to), who else is in the water?
Alice
Jasper
Sam
Victoria
In the book, Bella wakes up remembering red hair rippling on the water. Interestingly, the legend of the "Apotampkin," which Bella looks up on the Internet in the first movie, suggests that the monster can appear as a red-haired woman in the waters near a shore, waiting to drag unsuspecting humans in. Perhaps this scene was inspired by that myth.

he finds a "suicide poem" she wrote for English class
Alice had a vision of Bella jumping off a cliff
because Jacob tells him that Charlie's arranging a funeral
both #2 and #3
Alice sees Bella cliff-diving and misinterprets what she sees. She doesn't reveal this to Edward, but Rosalie does. When Edward calls the Swan house, Jacob is terse on the phone, telling him that Charlie is "arranging a funeral" without explaining that it's Harry who died.

How does Edward intend to provoke the Volturi?
by stealing their riches
by hunting on their territory
by exposing himself to humans
Edward's plan is to step out into a sunny public square at midday. This means he would sparkle in the sun, revealing himself as super-human. The Volturi would be enraged at this public exposure and then kill him.
by graffiting their priceless art collection
What kind of car does Alice drive in Italy?
a white Audi
a blue Maserati
a yellow Porsche

Who played Aro, the leader of the Volturi?
Hugh Jackman
Stephen Moyer
Michael Sheen

What is Aro's special gift?
he can fly
he can shift into a bat
he can read minds with a touch
Edward can read minds -- in the moment, at least -- without touching people.. But Aro apparently can read "every thought you've ever had, with one touch" -- impressive as well.
he can kill people with a touch
What does Aro tell Edward that Bella is?
"la bellissima"
"la tua cantante"
Bella is Edward's "cantante" because "her blood sings to you." Edward says it is not always easy to be near someone whose blood is so tantalizing.

she can change the past
she can inflict pain with her mind

she can move things without touching them
both #1 and #3
Who is immune to Jane's skill?
Aro
Alice
Bella
Jane cannot inflict pain on Bella, just as Aro cannot read her mind by touching her. Near the series' conclusion, we will learn there's a word for this: Bella is a "shield."
Edward
Why does Aro let Edward, Alice, and Bella go?
because he doesn't want a war with the Cullens
because it just amuses him to do so
because he wants to recruit Alice in the future
because Alice has foreseen Edward turning Bella into a vampire
It is against the Volturi's laws for a human to know about vampires. But as Alice's vision of the future makes clear, Bella will soon be a vampire -- therefore, problem solved.

that she finishes college first

This seems like it fits perfectly with Bella's desire to be with Edward forever, but as we see in the next film. Bella drags her feet. She's not sure she wants to marry at the tender age of 18.

"New Moon" is the favorite "Twilight" book of which series star?
Ashley Greene
Taylor Lautner
Robert Pattinson
Speaking of Mr. Eyebrows (it's hard not to notice how dominant Pattinson's are!) this factoid is a bit eyebrow-raising. Seriously, Pattinson's favorite installment in the series is the one from which his character is largely absent?
Kristen Stewart
