quiver

1. Quiver: case for arrows. What does it mean by 'arrows'? i just can relate it to this definition.

2. Long before her beliefs would be tested in the most wrenching of ways as first lady, she taught an adult Sunday school class on the importance of forgiveness. What does 'long before' mean?

3. slanted, tilted. Are these two words the same? Can you these two words to make sentences? This desk is slanted/tilted?

Thanks.
