Summer is the focus of this week’s American Culture Quiz, exploring national traits, trends, history, and people related to the season. The quiz touches on various topics including beach life, fast-food burgers, baseball record-setters, and Billboard hit-makers. Test your knowledge with eight questions, ranging from identifying the largest beach in the world to recognizing summer music icons.
One of the questions asks which summer hotspot holds the Guinness World Record for the largest beach in the world, with 28 miles of oceanside sand. Choices include Long Beach in California, Coney Island in New York, Polihale Beach in Hawaii, and Virginia Beach in Virginia. Another true or false question quizzes whether more than half of the 50 U.S. states have oceanfront coastline along the Atlantic, Pacific, or Gulf of Mexico.
Pop music enthusiasts are challenged to identify the diva who dominated the charts in the summer of 1979 with a No. 1 single for 8 weeks and a No. 1 album for 6 weeks. Additionally, this artist had a No. 1 duet with Barbra Streisand later that year. Baseball fans can test their knowledge by naming the legend of the game who first played professional baseball at 15 years old and is now recognized as the MLB’s youngest player with the recent official recognition of Negro League performances as statistics.
The quiz also delves into the history of fast food, asking which popular burger joint became the world’s first fast-food restaurant when it opened in Wichita, Kansas, in 1921. Additionally, trivia about U.S. presidents reveals interesting facts, such as one president who claimed to have attended school for less than a year in total across his entire childhood. Another question focuses on which city has attracted the most new residents so far in 2024, according to a report from a moving and storage company.
