This shouldn't have been that difficult. I also wonder why she chose ATE rather than ATA for this one.

There's only one Asian mountain range among the choices. Again, this would seem more suited to an ATA lifeline if one was needed.

The California Institute of Technicality sounds like a great school for lawyers!

Disguised geography question. It's also a question that even a geoputz could get if given enough time; however, that's no longer a luxury on this show.

Again, one that might have been workable given time. Christmas Seals have always (at least in my lifetime) been used for lung diseases, so tuberculosis would be logical. Definitely not polio, because that was the March of Dimes' focus.

If the audience doesn't know, I could be doomed here. I can eliminate malaria, but among the other three I do not know. I guess smallpox was pretty well on its way to being eliminated by then, so maybe I could go on.
