While I would love to take the singleton, unless there is another Botticelli I am unaware of, I should have 4 points on question 7, and not 1.

Just out of curiosity, on the French Lit question, would you have accepted "Le Farce de M. Pierre Patelin"? It is the earliest surviving non-religious work written in French, but its author is "anonymous" because we don't know who he or she was. Therefore, we don't actually know whether he or she was French.

I managed to get a singleton anyway, so I'm happy.
Teems with quiet fun.

Sure. I must have read parts of that in a high school or college French class because it sounds familiar.

11. NEW YORK CITY – I moved to NYC in 1995, and I’ve been here ever since.
Name an iconic NYC landmark. Let iconic mean any place – real or fictional - uniquely associated with NYC and its 5 boroughs. You’d have to be way off base to answer wrong on this one.

Please recheck this. I either had the correct 704 Hauser St. in going for the TV Bunker house or I somehow typed the wrong number and should be negged.

Indeed you submitted 704 Hauser St. No clue what happened there. Thanks for the correction

Update: It's Excel's fault! I copied the text from the correct response column to answer header, and Excel filled the series and changed 704 to 705. Boo!
