I got all of them but I also don't think this is a test that defines a Master Chef.

For me, par-boiling has always just meant to pre-cook by boiling...it never meant quick cool after.

For me, blanching has always meant a quick cook in boiling water followed with an icewater bath to preserve color of the food.

I think some get mixed up with mirepoix if they have only associated it with making gumbo in which case, green peppers are also used.
