#20 uses plural of country; should be possessive: “what country’s capital…”
This one made me feel incredibly stupid, lol ??
exactly dong1963 this quiz lied!
*cough cough* Alaska wasn't a state in 1912.
Overall, another good quiz.
Question 26 has no correct available answer. A mile is over 5,280 feet. (5,280x10)^2+((5,280x10)^2= 14.14... MILES not feet
