Yes, but the Biden was born in Scranton, PA. I can see how this can be confusing, as #2 is simply referring to where presidents were born. Perhaps I should reword the question?
Tyler was a Whig. He was registered in the party and was a party member when he served as president. Whether or not he politically subscribed to the Whig platform and got kicked out of the party while in office is irrelevant to this quiz.
#16 is tricky because at some point John Quincy Adams was a member of the Democratic-Republican party but when he ran for president sometimes he is considered a "National Republican" by some historians because he split from the Democratic-Republicans
