Been there, done that! Vietnam.

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.

3. Voussoir are used in the construction of what architectural element? There are a couple of possible answers; you just need to give me one.
Arches. I seem to recall it is the fancy name for a keystone of an arch.

4. What sport was invented in Holyoke, Massachusetts?
Don't know for sure although it sounds vaguely correct but going to have to guess the obvious, Volleyball.

Just as a guess I will say that the four Q's tomorrow will cover W, X, Y and Z....

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. As far as I can tell, the plural of voussoir is voussoirs.
