Dunno what lifelines have left, as 1st Qs not posted yet.

Q5: By elimination, "brownnose" is joke ans, an island is not part of contiguous landmass (though does give me pause as to whether would be considered such for this Q), a strait is a body of water, use "contiguous" criteria to eliminate. Leaves one choice left. Might have jumped, might have dared it. Let's say I go for it.

Q6: JTQ

Not knowing how many lifelines I would have at this point I might have considered using one. I had a hunch it was C but wasn't completely sure.
