So far so good.

The only one that gave me pause was 3K, because I've never heard of Totino as a brand, but it makes sense because 2 of the other choices are brands where one has a food name & the other a made-up character, & the 3rd, while a real founder's name, should be spelled "Birdseye", no space between the words.

500: easy

1,000: easy

2,000: "Dear Future Husband" is the only Meghan Trainor song of those four.

3,000: easy

5,000: A is the only personal question, so that has to be it

7,000: I haven't seen any of these movies, but Fatal Attraction would be the only title that makes sense.

10,000: Apple had already come out with laptops and music players, and the watch wouldn't come out for another nine years or so, so it has to be D

20,000: Ohio is the only state of the four that borders Pennsylvania.

30,000: I would've made the same mistake as Michelle and Chris, and got bumped down to 5K.

I would've been out on the $10,000 question.
