[Answer] Which U.S. river is widely known for flowing backward?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which U.S. river is widely known for flowing backward?"

...The Chicago River is renowned for flowing “backwards” after a landmark engineering project completed in 1900 reversed its natural direction. Originally draining into Lake Michigan, the river was redirected away from the lake through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to protect the city’s drinking water from sewage contamination. The reversed flow now carries water toward the Des Plaines River and ultimately into the Mississippi River system, making the Chicago River the most famous example of an intentionally reversed river in U.S. history.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The infamous disaster known as New Coke was later sold under which name?"

...In 1985, Coca-Cola retooled their formula and introduced a newer, sweeter beverage called "New Coke."

Grant was posthumously granted the rank in 2022, recognizing his role as the Union’s top commander during the Civil War. Unlike the five-star rank of “General of the Army,” the designation "General of the Armies" stands above all others.

[Answer] Which of these animals has a tail?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which of these animals has a tail?"

...An aardvark does have a tail, and it is a thick, muscular, and clearly visible extension of the body that helps with balance and stability while the aardvark is digging and moving through burrows. The tail often drags behind the aardvark as it walks and can help brace the body when backing into or turning within tunnels. In contrast, the capybara and the guinea pig are commonly classified as tailless mammals. The Manx cat is also tailless, the result of a naturally occurring genetic mutation which has become a defining characteristic of the breed.
