This quiz was created after someone commented that my first literature multiple choice quiz was too anglocentric. I agreed with them, and this is the result.
I think the pirate question is not clear cut. Captain Nemo engages in actions that are piratical including attacking and sinking ships. In his role in the League of Extraordinary Gentleman he is clearly described as a pirate. I would replace him with someone like Jack Aubrey in the quiz.
That's what I get for using a character from a book I haven't read, I guess.
Jack Aubrey is from the Patrick O'Brian novels that begin with Master and Commander, right? I haven't read those either, but I vaguely remember the movie with Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany.
I also thought about that and since I didn't knew Clement Cleveland it was sort of a 50/50 between those two.
But since I don't remember Nemo ever intentionally hunting down other ships to rob them, I decided to see him more like an embittered rebel than a pirate.

Jack Aubrey spent some time as a privateer ... not a pirate but pretty close. I suggest replacing Nemo with Horatio Hornblower.

Also, taking a loose comic book adaptation as source instead of the actual original book is questionable at the very least.
