Guess the quote: ____ _____ and ______ ______ ___. Hint:(I mentioned this quote in this quiz.) |
Four score and seven years ago
|
84, 83, 45, 34, 31, 25, 12
1. The British Raj did not only consist of India; it also covered modern-day Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar.
2. Please make “Roaring Twenties” accepted alongside “Roaring 20s”.
3. The crisis in 1948 is known as the Berlin blockade. The airlift was just a method to help the city, not a term for the whole event. And please make it more flexible with type-ins as well (I wrote airlift but it didn't work).
4. Democracy - same thing, make type-ins such as “people’s rule” or “rule by the people”.
5. For Borodino, I wrote “Battle of Borodino” and it didn't work.
Basically, I'm not an expert but I would suggest having the key word of each answer appear in the type-ins to avoid this kind of hindrance in several questions.
Again, thanks for your work, keep it up 🙌
Also, AC stands for Alternating Current, not Alternate Current.
