    • Notches in an aspen pole

    • A paper calender

    • A cellphone

    • A tablet

    Correct Answer
    A. Notches in an aspen pole
    Explanation
    Sam used notches in an aspen pole as a calendar. Notches were likely made on the pole to mark important dates or events, allowing Sam to keep track of time and appointments. This method of using notches on a pole as a calendar is a traditional and primitive way of keeping track of time, especially in areas where paper calendars or electronic devices like cellphones and tablets may not be available or commonly used.

    Who was The Baron?

    • A horse

    • A dog

    • A hawk

    • A wild weasel

    Correct Answer
    A. A wild weasel
    Explanation
    The Baron is referred to as a wild weasel. A wild weasel is a term used in military aviation to describe an aircraft that is specifically designed to locate and destroy enemy radar installations. The term "wild weasel" originated during the Vietnam War and was used to describe aircraft that were tasked with suppressing enemy air defenses. These aircraft would fly ahead of the main strike force and draw out enemy radar by simulating an attack, allowing other aircraft to locate and destroy the radar installations. Therefore, The Baron is not a horse, dog, or hawk, but a wild weasel.
