[Answer] The hit musical Rent is loosely based on which classic opera by Giacomo Puccini?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The hit musical Rent is loosely based on which classic opera by Giacomo Puccini?"

...The musical Rent, created by Jonathan Larson, is loosely inspired by the iconic opera La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini. While Puccini’s opera is set in 19th-century Paris and centers on impoverished young artists struggling to survive, Rent reimagines the story in 1990s New York City amid the AIDS crisis. Many of the characters and relationships in Rent closely parallel those in La Bohème, including themes of love, friendship, illness, and the constant tension between creative passion and the harsh, unforgiving realities of day-to-day survival.

[Answer] Which California city was originally known as Yerba Buena before being renamed in 1847?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which California city was originally known as Yerba Buena before being renamed in 1847?"

...San Francisco was originally a small settlement called Yerba Buena, a Spanish name meaning “good herb,” taken from a sweet-smelling mint plant that grew abundantly in the area. In 1847, after the United States took control of California during the Mexican–American War, the town was officially renamed San Francisco to reflect the well-known bay and the nearby Mission San Francisco de Asísf. The new name helped give the growing settlement a stronger identity and connection to the region. The Gold Rush soon transformed the renamed city into a booming center of commerce and rapid population growth.

[Answer] Which Olympic event would most likely be performed by a toxophilite?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which Olympic event would most likely be performed by a toxophilite?"

...A toxophilite is a person who loves or practices archery, a term derived from the Greek words toxon (bow) and philos (loving). In ancient and classical usage, it specifically referred to an archer or someone devoted to the bow and arrow. Among Olympic events, archery is the discipline most directly associated with this skill, involving precision shooting with a bow at fixed targets. While events like javelin throw or shooting also involve projectile accuracy, archery is the only Olympic sport that perfectly aligns with the definition of a toxophilite.

[Answer] Which mammal has the greatest number of teeth?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which mammal has the greatest number of teeth?"

...The giant armadillo holds the record for the most teeth of any mammal, with up to about 100 teeth lining its long, narrow jaws. Unlike the sharp canines or flat grinding molars seen in many other mammals, its teeth are small, peg-like, and completely lack enamel—an adaptation well suited to its insect-based diet, particularly ants and termites that require little chewing. While some non-mammals, such as snails, far exceed this number overall, the giant armadillo clearly stands alone among mammals as the undisputed tooth-count champion in the animal kingdom.
