As others have pointed out, the answer to question one is wrong, as is the Elizabeth Bennett answer.

Elizabeth Bennett was actually proposed to 3 "times" by 2 "people": once by her cousin, Mr. Collins, whom she flatly rejected; and twice by Mr. Darcy, whom she first rejected, due to his pride and her prejudice, but eventually accepted, once both their attitudes were righted.

Question 1 is wrong. I remember a “Jeopardy” where the question was “Shakespeare’s title characters first words”. Antonio has the first line in “Merchant” but no one got it as everyone seems to associate Shylock with the okay.

7/9 result. Some dubious answers. For instance - the number of times, Elizabeth Bennett was proposed to? Actually 3, not 2!

Beat the English lit grads, whatever that means. Q1 is wrong - Shylock is a major character in The Merchant of Venice, but he wasn't the actual merchant, he was a moneylender. Jews were not allowed to be merchants at that time in Italy. I think the merchant was Antonio, but I could be wrong.

Mr. Darcy proposed twice. Elizabeth's awkward cousin proposed once and when refused, asked Charlotte Lucas who accepted him.

It might help if the questioner actually checked his answers. Shylock was a money lender who lent money to merchant Antonio.
