100% agree, this needs to be changed to Army or include Ensign as an acceptable answer

First thing I could think of was commodore, which would have also been an acceptable answer with the old phrasing.

Please accept motorbike as well as motorcycle. Motorbike is more common in the UK and I couldn't understand why it wouldn't accept it.

I second that request. Motorcycle is an archaic word in the UK nowadays, like motorcar. Thank you.

Fair enough, but 'motorcycle', while the more formal word, is certainly not archaic (in the UK or anywhere else)

Right, which means it is a rank in the army, and therefore the question is correct as written.

But bike is a colloquial word meaning motorcycle in the US - valid comment.

Could you please also accept "vehicle"? Maybe "ride"? This seems to be way to specific...

Women's soccer player. I think the reason she isn't well-known at all (in the US at least) is because the US women's soccer team has been dominant her whole career while Brazil has had little success. So, there's no need to market her or mention her ever.

I'm sure she's well known by actual women's soccer fans though.

Q1 is too random - cartoon character being hit by an anvil is not sufficiently common to be a trope in my opinion

accept Byelorussia for Belarus? It makes sense as the question is about Russian
