It sounds Spanish but I know it's not Don Quixote and pretty sure it's not For Whom the Bell Tolls. I'd go with A without a lifeline.

I'd bet she has. It is clear, though, that she is unfamiliar with the quoted slogan, which could reasonably be associated with Junior Mints, too.

I'd have used a jump on the literature question. I'm assuming she wasn't able to eliminate sleet in her mind. Man. She couldn't get the Level 1 and 2 questions right and still got five figures.
