Question 2: Which famous Broadway musical features the song "Defying Gravity"?

Question 4: In what century was the famous painting "The Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh created?

Vincent van Gogh painted "The Starry Night" in 1889 while staying at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in southern France. It depicts the view from his room's east-facing window just before sunrise. The painting is now housed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Question 7: Where would you find the lion as a prominent national symbol?
