2. What composer was born in Venice and composed his most famous work as a series of four violin concertos?
Gonna guess the use of Venice here is a red herring and the answer is still a V for Vivaldi.

Arches. I seem to recall it is the fancy name for a keystone of an arch.

Don't know for sure although it sounds vaguely correct but going to have to guess the obvious, Volleyball.

I didn't know this one, but the wording of the question didn't help any. I took a few years of French, and this didn't look right to me.
