2. Which of the following is NOT true about John Smith, who was involved with Jamestown, Virginia?

Answer: Smith is buried in Jamestown

Smith was injured by a gunpowder burn and returned to England in 1609. He never returned to Virginia and died in England. As to the other choices, Smith did arrive in chains due to jealousies among the first settlers, but he became a member of the Colony council when the Virginia Company instructions were opened.
3. Moving on to literature, which Smith author wrote a book that later became three different Disney films?

Answer: Dodie Smith

Dodie Smith's novel "The One Hundred and One Dalmatians" was turned into the 1961 Disney animated film, which then went onto to two live action movies starring Glenn Close. A dalmatian owner, one of Smith's dogs did indeed give birth to 15 pups. Smith died in 1990 at the age of 94. All the other choices are truly Smith author choices as well, it's just that who can resist the inspiration for the Disney classic?
4. Another Smith author, Dick King-Smith, also had a book that became a movie. Can you name it? NOTE: UK players please look for the Americanized title.

Answer: "Babe: The Gallant Pig"

"Charlotte's Web" is E.B. White's classic pig tale, while "Ace" is another King-Smith title. "Hector" is a red herring choice.

Answer: False

Answer: Elrond
