Question 1:
"The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Pit and the Pendulum", and "The Purloined Letter" are among the short stories written by this American author.
Poe's works created and/or heavily influenced several literary genres, including detective fiction, science fiction, gothic fiction, and romantic fiction.
Question 2:
Also known as "Japanese horseradish", this member of the crucifer family has an extremely strong flavour. It is commonly used as a condiment to be eaten with foods like sushi.
Records show that wasabi has been used as a food as far back as the 8th century AD. It is usually consumed by grating the stem into a paste, and is eaten in small amounts at a time.
Question 3:
This nation shares its only land borders with Brazil and Argentina.
Uruguay also borders the Río de la Plata and the Atlantic Ocean. Of its nearly 3.5 million people, 2 million live in the capital city of Montevideo.
Question 4:
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 admitted Missouri into the union as a slave state, while this other state was admitted as a free state (where slavery was illegal).
The Compromise briefly settled the issue of slavery within the United States by banning it north of the 36°30′ parallel in newly acquired territory. In 1854, the Kansas–Nebraska Act effectively gutted the Compromise, and the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857).
Question 5:
Kathrine Switzer, under the name K.V. Switzer, became the first woman to complete this race in 1967, despite being physically assaulted by the organizers who became incensed when they discovered a woman was competing.
After Switzer's run, the Amateur Athletics Union (AAU) banned women from running the marathon in races it sanctioned. The ban would be partially reversed in 1972, although women had to compete in a separate event and could not run alongside men.
