That was a very boring quiz. It was just a few plural endings repeated. Ox and louse were good, so a few more animals mouse, goose, and octopus. Then how about cactus, fungus, rhododendron, iris, and delphinium. And die (as in spotted cubes with dots 1-6), person, radius, status and coat-of-arms.
octopuses (or octopodes if you must); Latin plural of status is statûs with a long U, but English plural (if you really need one) is statuses. Rhododendron is regular in English. Irides is an alternative to irises (for the iris of the eye).

But yeah, most of these were pretty regular, I was actually surprised by how few unusual endings there were. Oxen, perhaps, cos not that many words use the German construction in English, but even then it's following a known rule.
