The American Culture Quiz is a weekly test that covers national traits, trends, history, and people, including current news and seasonal highlights. This week’s quiz features questions about country music, comic strip legends, Taylor Swift, and a famous movie star’s circus background. Participants are challenged to answer eight questions correctly, including identifying the performer who set a record for the largest crowd at a ticketed concert in U.S. history.
One of the questions in the quiz focuses on the debut of the comic strip “Thimble Theatre,” which later became popular due to a character introduced in 1929. Players are asked to identify which character the comic strip was eventually renamed after. Another question delves into the history of the 13 colonies, specifically which colony abstained from voting in favor of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Additionally, quiz-takers are challenged to identify a living-legend actor who previously worked as a lion tamer in a circus before transitioning to a successful movie career.
The quiz also includes questions related to American literature and history, such as identifying the American woman who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1938. Participants are asked to determine whether a statement about the deaths of Founding Fathers John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on the 50-year anniversary of American independence is true or false. The quiz also tests knowledge of American inventions, with a question about the first U.S. patent received in 1790 to help improve a product crucial for the nation’s growth.
