World Leaders and Politicians

David Cameron served as British Prime Minister from 2010-2016. Mary McAleese (note spelling) was President of Ireland, Tarja Halonen was President of Finland, and Laura Chinchilla was President of Costa Rica.

Alberto Korda's iconic 1960 photograph shows Che Guevara, the Argentine Marxist revolutionary. The image titled 'Guerrillero Heroico' became one of the most reproduced images in history.

Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" in 1814 during the War of 1812, inspired by seeing the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry after a British bombardment. John Philip Sousa was a famous march composer ("The Stars and Stripes Forever"), George Washington was the first president who died in 1799, and John S. Skinner was a different historical figure involved in prisoner exchanges.

George Washington served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. He was unanimously elected by the Electoral College and set many precedents for the office, including the two-term tradition that later became constitutional law.

Yang Jiechi served as China's Foreign Minister from 2007 to 2013 during the Hu Jintao presidency era. Hu Jintao was President and Wen Jiabao was Premier during that period, making Yang Jiechi the correct Foreign Minister for that time. Note that this position has since changed.

Rosa Otunbayeva served as the President of Kyrgyzstan in 2010, becoming the first female head of state in Central Asia. She took office following the 2010 Kyrgyz revolution.

Elbegdorj Tsakhia was the President of Mongolia in 2010. He served as President from 2009 to 2017 and was a key figure in Mongolia's transition to democracy.

The Stone Mountain carving depicts Jefferson Davis (President of the Confederacy), Robert E. Lee (Confederate General), and Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson (Confederate General) on horseback. These were key leaders of the Confederate States during the American Civil War.

Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke these famous words in his 1933 inaugural address during the Great Depression: 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.' This became one of the most iconic quotes in American presidential history.

Mikhail Kalashnikov is the correct answer. He was the Soviet Russian small arms designer who invented the AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova) assault rifle in 1947. Michelle Bachelet is a Chilean politician, Kanayo Nwanze is a Nigerian agriculturalist, and Edoardo Molinari is an Italian golfer - none related to firearms design.

Pope John Paul II visited Mother Teresa at her Missionaries of Charity headquarters in Calcutta (Kolkata) in February 1986. Pope John Paul I (A) had a very short papacy (33 days in 1978) and died before any such visit. Pope Benedict XVI (B) became pope in 2005, after Mother Teresa's death in 1997. Option B also contains a typo (XVi instead of XVI).

Trygve Lie was the first official Secretary-General of the United Nations, serving from 1946 to 1952. Gladwyn Jebb served as Acting Secretary-General before Lie but was not appointed to the full position. U Thant and Dag Hammarskjöld were later Secretaries-General.
