7. What was the song's peak position on the U.S. Billboard?

Answer: 1

One of many number one hits of course. The Beatles' 1962 song "Love Me Do" was their first hit that reached the top spot. The Beatles had seven more songs that reached the top of the charts in the U.K. or U.S. before "Ticket to Ride" in 1965.
8. Who produced the song?

Answer: George Martin

Martin was the Beatles' producer up until the album "Let It Be". Phil Spector produced that one. Sam Phillips, who discovered Elvis Presley, was a producer at Sun Records, but he never produced any Beatles work and neither did Ringo.
9. Finish the lyric: "She said that living with me, Was bringing her down, yeah. She would never be free When I..."

Answer: was around

It has been said by John Lennon himself that this song implies prostitution. These lyrics indicate the narrator's displeasure with the girl's line of work.
10. What was on the B-Side of the single?

"Yes It Is" didn't make it on the album, however. "Yellow Submarine" was featured on both "Yellow Submarine" and the "Magical Mystery Tour" albums. "In My Life" was featured on "Rubber Soul", and "No Reply" was featured on "Beatles for Sale".
