Question 1:
Among the works by this author are Moby-Dick (1851), Typee (1846), and Billy Budd, Sailor (1924).
Melville's writing was based on his experiences as a whaler, but his work delved into profound themes of obsession, morality, and human nature. He was largely ignored during his lifetime but celebrated posthumously. Billy Budd was left unfinished at the time of his death in 1891, but was eventually published many years later.
Question 2:
Name the only one of the original Thirteen Colonies that has no coastline along the Atlantic Ocean.
Although technically landlocked without any coastline, Pennsylvania does have direct access to the Atlantic through the Delaware River.

This 1934 screwball comedy won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director for Frank Capra, Best Actor for Clark Gable and Best Actress for Claudette Colbert.
In addition to those four awards, the movie also won Best Adapted Screenplay for the writer, Robert Riskin. It was the first movie to win all five major awards, and only two others have ever accomplished that feat.
Question 4:
What is the name of the uncooked green sauce popular in Argentina and often served with grilled meats? It is made from chopped parsley, onion, garlic, oregano and garlic, vinegar, olive oil and red pepper flakes.
The name may be derived from the Basque tximitxurri 'hodgepodge', 'mixture of several things in no particular order'.
Question 5:
Fill in the blank: The Norwegian name for the piece of orchestral music composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875 is "I Dovregubbens hall", but in English it's known as "In the Hall of the __ King."
