Wow, that was fast! A few minor nitpicks:

>> 5. What name was given to the first of the Ainur that descended into the world, and what did it mean?
>
>Manwe - Spirit of... something

Valar: Powers of the World

>> 6. What were the fanar?
>
>Um...

The radiant and majestic bodies in which the Valar appeared to Elves and Men.

> > 9. When Melkor went into the Void, what was he seeking?
>
>Power - specifically, I think, fire?

Basically, yeah. The exact answer is the Imperishable Flame.

Speaking of the Valar, try this one:

Match the Valar with their titles:

1. Manwe
2. Yavanna
3. Tulkas
4. Aule
5. Varda
6. Namo
7. Vaire
8. Orome
9. Ulmo
10. Vana

a. Lady of the Stars
b. The Weaver
c. Keeper of the Houses of the Dead
d. Lord of Waters
e. The Ever-young
f. The Giver of Fruits
g. Lord of the Breath of Arda
h. The Valiant
i. Lord of Forests
j. The Master of All Crafts
