The Ultimate QoD Challenge -- Week 6, Tuesday

"The Fourth Element"
As you might recall, all of the Tuesday questions present items in a sequence. All you have to do is tell me what comes next in the sequence and why those items make a sequence. 2 points for correctly filling in the blank and 2 points for telling me the category.
Answers are due by Wednesday 5/21 at 4 PM EDT.
1. MONICA / ERICA / RITA / _____
2. NORWAY = BEDROOM SET / SWEDEN = LIVING ROOM SET / FINLAND = DINING ROOM SET / _____
3. 1996: WILKENS / 2000: TOMJANOVICH / 2004: BROWN / _____
4. METHANE / ETHANE / PROPANE / _____
5. SHERI / DONTAE / ADRIANNA / _____
6. #4: A CLUSTER IN SCORPIUS / #3: A CLUSTER IN CANES VENATICI / #2: A CLUSTER IN AQUARIUS / _____
7. MARICOPA / HARRIS / COOK / _____
8. REFUDIATE / SQUEEZED MIDDLE / GIF / _____
9. 1,000: ABRAHAM LINCOLN / 10,000: GROVER CLEVELAND / 100,000: ULYSSES GRANT / _____
10. FLAX = 40 / HAY = 50 / OATS = 60 / _____
Side note: I threw out one of the questions from this stack and replaced it with the one that you see in #9. It was another one of those color-related sequences that are not popular here. The sequence would have been "129 (in brown text) / 134 (in blue text) / 140 (in pink text) / _____". The correct answer would have been "
147 (in black text)
" because this was
the scores and colors for the final four balls pocketed in a perfect game of snooker
