Question 1-ATA. I remember the song, but not this part.

Questions 2 through 7 were all easy for me. However, Question 8 was, for me, a WWOQ. Even though Ohio is a neighboring state, we don't hear too much about them-unless it's sports and they are talking about the Buckeyes. I would JTQ here, as any one of the choices could be a logical answer.

Yes, I understand how folks in Michigan wouldn't pay attention to anything happening in Ohio. John Boehner is, however, the House Minority Leader, as a result of which he is often in the national news.
