Question 1:
The title of this 1944 film has been turned into a verb that means "manipulating someone into questioning their perception of reality."
Although "gaslighting" was in use by the early 1950s, the term gained currency in the 21st century, especially since 2010. In 2022, it was Merriam-Webster's "Word of the Year."
Question 2:
Barack Obama was first elected U.S. Senator from Illinois in this year.
At the Democratic National Convention that summer, Obama rose to national attention with a rousing keynote address, even though the broadcast networks chose not to air it.
Question 3:
In the NATO phonetic alphabet, what word represents 'D'?
The words were chosen to be accessible to speakers of English, French and Spanish. Some of the code words were changed over time, as they were found to be ineffective in real-life conditions.
Question 4:
This type of large, heavily armored warship once dominated naval warfare, but after the USS Iowa and USS Wisconsin were struck from the Naval Register in 2006, none remain in any of the world's navies.
In spite of their huge firepower and protection, battleships were increasingly vulnerable to much smaller and relatively inexpensive weapons making them obsolete. However, in December 2025, Donald Trump announced a new class of battleship, which he named after himself.
Question 5:
Known to the Italians as Fiume, this Adriatic port has been fiercely contested between rival powers for centuries; today it's the the third-largest city in Croatia.
Today the city's population exceeds 100,000. 85% are Croats, 5% Serbs and 1.5% each of Italians and Bosniaks.
