Did you mean to put James A. Garfield? I panicked and checked to make sure Andrew Garfield was still alive lmao

Also some of these have multiple correct answers - Virginia Woolf committed suicide THROUGH drowning so both should be accepted. Whitney Houston died from drowning DUE to drugs

Lol you're right, don't know I messed Garfield up. I added drowning at the last minute and forgot about Woolf (and adding a caveat), now she counts as drugs. I suspected the quiz wasn't done when I submitted, should've checked. Thanks for pointing these out!

Rosa Luxemburg: She was assassinated, not executed. It wasn't a court decision, but a paramilitary group that took action by themselves. It was an abduction and not an arrest, hence she was assassinated.

Gaddafi: Wasn't he killed when trying to flee or hide? Wouldn't that rather fit assassination, too? He might have fought for his life, but I'm not sure, calling it a battle is correct, here.

Hmm, I thought about both of these, and they're tricky. Wikipedia does say Luxemburg was executed, and I think paramilitary groups can definitely execute people even without courts. And she was captured, questioned and tortured before being shot, which does not fit with the typical definition of an assassination. Would you say Nicholas II was assassinated too? They seem similar. I guess the best term would be murdered, but that would muddy it even more.

As for Gaddafi: It's not entirely clear, and there are differing accounts. My best understanding is that he was captured and beaten, then hit by a stray bullet while lying on top of a moving car, and that he wasn't supposed to be killed there. That's why I classified it as battle.
