Question #7: Although they sound like automobile names, "Infinity," "Escape," and "Frontiers" are all albums by what '80s band?
A - Foreigner
B - Journey
C - Styx
D - Def Leppard

Amanda says she was born in 1984 so she's not old enough to have been cognizant of any of them. It's a shame she doesn't have any lifelines but it would be a crime to blow all that money on a guess. She decides to walk away.
