I was trying to work out why I found this one so much easier than others in the series and realised that it was because it didn't have any sports questions about which I'm usually utterly clueless (though getting better via exposure on this site).

Sacramento not being THE answer or even an accepted answer is not just wrong, it's also regressive. A state capitol is always far more important than a theme park in a swamp.

Correct or modify asap.

What on Earth are you going on about? Did you misread the clue about the city that STARTS AND ENDS with O? There would be a ton of cities that just end with o. San Diego, San Francisco, Toledo...lol

Maybe they mean it this way:

Quizmaster: What is the capital city of California?

Most people: Los Angeles? San Diego? San Franciso!

Quizmaster: Your time is up. I'm afraid the answer is Sacramento.

Most people: Oh, SacramentO...
