Question 2: If a group of owls is known as a "parliament," what is a group of frogs called?

Question 3: Who is often referred to as "The King of Rock and Roll"?

Elvis Presley is widely acknowledged as "The King of Rock and Roll" and is one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century. His energized interpretations of songs and provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy.



Question 4: Which U.S. Constitutional amendment granted women the right to vote?

The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1920, prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex.
