Question 1: In legal terms, what does "habeas corpus" refer to?

Habeas corpus is a fundamental legal principle that allows individuals to challenge their detention if they believe it is unlawful. It is a safeguard against arbitrary imprisonment by the state.


Question 2: Which holiday celebrates the Mexican army's victory over the French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862?

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over the French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. While often mistaken for Mexico's Independence Day, that holiday actually falls on September 16.


Question 3: How many players are on the field at one time in a baseball game?

In a baseball game, there are 9 players from each team on the field at one time. This includes the pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, left fielder, center fielder, and right fielder.



Question 4: Which psychological concept refers to the idea that people will conform to the majority opinion, even when that opinion is clearly incorrect?

Conformity is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to group norms. The famous Asch conformity experiments demonstrated that people would conform to the majority opinion, even when the majority was clearly wrong, due to the powerful influence of social pressure and the desire to fit in with the group.


Question 5: In what layer of Earth's atmosphere does the ozone layer reside?

Question 6: Why does the Moon appear to have phases from Earth's perspective?

The Moon's phases are caused by the changing angles of the Sun's light reflecting off the Moon's surface as seen from Earth. As the Moon orbits Earth, the amount of its illuminated side that is visible to us changes, resulting in the apparent phases.


Question 7: In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which need comes immediately after physiological needs?

Question 8: In Greek mythology, who is the goddess of wisdom and war?

Question 10: Who is considered the first couturier or fashion designer?
