I disagree with your answer to the question about the biggest river in the USA. A river's length is measured from its end back along to its longest tributary. If humans give a different name to the longest tributary, that doesn't alter geographical fact. So the longest river in the USA is the Mississippi, because that includes the Missouri. Judging by the 83% that disagreed with your answer, I am not alone in this view.

I agree. My answer is the Mississippi River, which is considered to be the 4th biggest in the world, by some sources.
