Upon reflection, I think it's more likely that it's Franklin Roosevelt. In '44, Roosevelt ran for re-election against the sitting governor of NY, Thomas Dewey - a position that Roosevelt had previously held. Cleveland's election in 1892 was not technically a re-election in the sense that he was a sitting President at the time.

Some of the later comments may already have corrected these, but let's keep it simple.

There are 5 'definite' answers that are wrong, or at least not what I had in mind.

Of the ones with a question mark, two are correct.

All of the ones that have two alternate answers include the correct answer.

13. This Shakespearean character’s musings on the futility of human existence would – more than three centuries later – provide the title for one of the Great American Novels.

HAMLET

I thought Melly said it was The Sound and the fury, which would make it from MACBETH's soliloquy.

Definitely MACBETH's soliloquy.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
