The way it is worded is valid, however I can see where the confusion comes in. NASDAQ can refer to both the exchange and the index. However technically it is more accurate to refer to the index as the NASDAQ composite index. With that being said, if the correct answer required NASDAQ Composite to be typed in, most would not get it right and then complain.
I tried to follow the links. The link you posted seems to be another quiz, which lists Juneau as the coldest. The source for which does not list average temperatures, but instead weather extremes (please click through the link to see what I mean). Going off of NOAA data for the time period listed in that quiz (since the clickable source doesn't list the pertinent data), there is this table - https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/services/data/v1?dataset=normals-monthly-1991-2020&startDate=0001-01-01&endDate=9996-12-31&stations=USW00094705&format=pdf and this database - https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/services/data/v1?dataset=normals-monthly-1991-2020&startDate=0001-01-01&endDate=9996-12-31&stations=USW00094705&format=pdf - In the database, select "Juneau" then "Juneau Downtown (since "Juneau" defaults to the "Juneau Area" which includes the entire Alaskan panhandle and some of the interior) and, shockingly, you get exactly the same temperature average for both of 42.6 °F. continued...
....continued - However, if you go by the most recent year recorded throughly in the database, which is 2021, the Montpelier average is only 20.8 °F and the Juneau average is 45.2 °F, which is not only Montpelier being colder, but Montpelier being colder by a quite drastic difference. The point is that average temperature has to be calculated for a specific time frame, right? I'm sure there are time frames that can be chosen where Juneau is the coldest, or, choose a different time frame and Montpelier is coldest, or, choose any arbitrary time frame and any arbitrary city is coldest. The time frames in these quizzes are not specific, so the user has to think of cold cities and guess until stumbling upon the correct answer, but what is the data to back that up? What is the time frame being considered? What is the methodology? Which weather stations are included - are they in the city limits or are you including every station within a certain radius? If so, what is that radius?
@bostjan I personally built extremeweatherwatch.com with data from NOAA. It takes into account lots of things including that data for some days might be missing. It took me several work weeks to build that site. It is not an easy problem. And it is accurate, more accurate than anything else you will find.
The mean temperature in Montpelier in 2021 was not 20.8 °F. That's a temperature you'd find in the Arctic Circle, not Vermont.
The state mentioned in "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is arguably Virginia. Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountains are in western Virginia, not West Virginia. So he may be saying "west Virginia", not "West Virginia"!
The Shenandoah River and the Blue Ridge Mountains both extend into West Virginia, and the authors of the song have explicitly said that they wrote it about the state.
Strictly speaking, the Pennsylvania Dutch don't speak German, they speak Pennsylvania Dutch (Deutch). It is a dialect of German which, along with low German, is a common first language for conservative Mennonite groups, like Old Orders and Amish.
Caffeine is allowed at Brigham Young University, with limitations. Coffee and non-herbal tea aren't allowed, but caffeinated soda and energy drinks are sold on campus.

That said, I added a time span to the question.
I don't know a diplomatic way to put this. So if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, I suppose.
