Answers to do with anything connected to the sea - 1. State rule. 2. Putting up a tent. 3. A projecting part -outstanding courage with 'S'. Thank you in advance.
In view of the style of answers given for Q2 and Q3, I would try to think of something like LINER for Q1
The whole answer has something to do with the sea - and a "rule" is something with which to draw straight lines! Having said that, I don't think that LINER is quite strong enough!
Thank you crofter I agree with your thinking. Although the answer provided of 'dictatorship' fits the clue, it doesn't really fit the rest of the quiz. Something to think about definitely.
