Diana is originally from Arizona, but she's been in Brooklyn for eight years. She's a 4th Grade teacher.

Diana is going to see what would have been Maria's $250,000 question.


Question

Spoiler
a monkey might be an island animal, so she guesses D: Monkey.

Wow, a generous $250K question! I couldn't have named the other animal without the choices, but given the choices they had, I thought (a pet) monkey was the only reasonable one there, with enough surety to take the gamble. Now, if they had a swan or a duck or something like that, I'd have had second thought.
Here's the painting, for those who don't recall it

Answer

Well, I don't think Seurat is an absurdist, so it probably makes sense to eliminate penguins and camels. I don't think I could narrow it down any further. Had this been in Maria's stack I'd use a JTQ (since I still have at least one).
