I got the one on the Roman Empire wrong as I thought Christianity replaced pantheism or worship of a pantheon of gods rather than paganism is Roman Empire….I’m going to have to Google it now, but great quiz
Pagans is what Christians called non-Jews, non-Christians, mainly the traditional roman religion, but also any other traditional or local religion not included. But by sheer numbers, the ancient roman tradition was the most common of the "pagans".
In fact, "Praetor" used to be each one of the 3 "heads of the Roman state" in the early republic, then it was called Consul and later on the position of Praetor was re-introduced with the current meaning. (Drogula, Fred (2015). Commanders & command in the Roman Republic and Early Empire. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press.)
However, it is common to use broadly the word "Consul" for the top magistrates, whatever they are called Praetor, Consul, the "Militar Consul" or "suffect consul" , since it is not wise to get lost on the words that mean the same.
By the same reason it is not usual to talk about the consuls appointed directly by the Emperor after the elevation of Augustus, but the consular office was uninterrupted, on paper, until much after the "fall or Rome" of the V century.
So your answer is correct by a narrow margin.. since it never meant "President" but they were, for all intents and purposes, fulfilling the role of the "president of the republic."
I think it's less clear than you suggest. Festus, writing in the 4th century suggested that praetor was an earlier republican rank cognate with that of consul, but Livy suggests the office only arose in 367 BC and was, from its origin, below that of consul.
I could ironically write something like We wuz steampunks n shiii, but while intended to mock a certain type of historical revisionism that has become popular recently, it might come across as racist, so I won't do it.
I thought that was just an exageration, like a fancy tea machine or something. Perhaps an archiac use of the word computer, someone or thing that counts.
That's not a deeply unreasonable answer. 1000 AD is in the dark ages, a period in which Europe was known for not making much in the way of technical advancements, while much of the rest of the world was doing pretty well. Obviously it's not a silicon chip computer, but a simple counting device sounds sort of plausible.
How? It just demonstrates that many people aren't that informed about history and are easily fooled by well-written true/false questions. You don't even know what portion of the quiz-takers are from the US.
Thanks!

Dingos were introduced by humans as early as 8,300 years ago
Introduced to whom - Europeans? By whom - Aboriginal peoples?
This was confusing.
