Question 2: How would Freudian psychoanalytic theory describe the part of the psyche that represents our moral conscience?

In Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the superego is the ethical component of the personality that provides the moral standards by which the ego operates. The superego's criticisms, prohibitions, and inhibitions form a person's conscience.


Question 3: In which country is the traditional dance known as the Haka performed?

Question 5: Which Christian holiday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Easter is the most important Christian festival, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion. It is a moveable feast, meaning the date changes each year based on the lunar calendar, but it always falls on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25.


Question 6: Where was the hit sitcom 'Friends' set?

The popular TV show 'Friends' was set in New York City, with the majority of the scenes taking place in the characters' apartments in Greenwich Village and the fictional coffee shop, Central Perk.


Question 7: When are baby swans called cygnets?

Baby swans, known as cygnets, retain this name until they reach one year of age. Cygnets are typically grey or brown in color, and don't develop the distinctive white plumage of adult swans until they are about a year old and undergo their first molt.



Question 8: What classic American sitcom featured the characters Norm, Cliff, and Frasier?

Cheers was a popular American sitcom that ran from 1982 to 1993. The show was set in a Boston bar called "Cheers" and featured an ensemble cast, including the characters Norm Peterson, Cliff Clavin, and Frasier Crane. Frasier Crane, played by Kelsey Grammer, later got his own spin-off series titled "Frasier".


Question 9: How many Tony Awards did the original Broadway production of "Hamilton" win?

At the 70th Tony Awards in 2016, "Hamilton" received a record-setting 16 nominations and won 11 awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Choreography. This made it one of the most acclaimed and awarded musicals in Broadway history.


Question 10: Why does Garfield hate Mondays?

Garfield's dislike for Mondays is a recurring theme in the comic strip. As a cat, Garfield is naturally lazy and loves to sleep, so the start of the week and the need to be active is unappealing to him.
