[Answer] Charles Darwin is credited with inventing an early version of which piece of furniture?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Charles Darwin is credited with inventing an early version of which piece of furniture?"



...Charles Darwin is well known for his theories on human evolution, but we also have the naturalist to thank for the evolution of the office chair. While working in his study, Charles Darwin modified a standard chair by adding wheels so he could quickly move between worktables covered with notes, books, and specimens. This practical, homegrown innovation allowed him to work more efficiently without repeatedly standing up, making it one of the earliest known examples of a rolling office chair used for everyday work.

[Answer] What is the only major U.S. city founded by a woman?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the only major U.S. city founded by a woman?"



...The city of Miami was founded by a woman—the only female founder of a major American city. In 1874, Julia Tuttle, who hailed from Cleveland, headed to Florida to visit her father, who lived in the area. Despite the mosquito-infested swamps, she liked what she saw. After her father died and left her his land, she purchased more acreage and then talked railroad builder Henry Flagler into extending tracks southward. In 1896 the city she had founded was incorporated; by the 1920s, it was a bustling metropolis. In 2010, a 10-foot tall statue of Julia Tuttle, the “Mother of Miami,” was erected in Bayfront Park.

[Answer] What artist painted many of her works while seated inside her Ford Model A?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What artist painted many of her works while seated inside her Ford Model A?"



...Georgia O’Keeffe often painted while sitting in her Ford Model A, using the car as a mobile studio to explore remote landscapes in New Mexico. The elevated seat and open doors gave her a stable vantage point and protection from the elements, allowing her to work for long stretches in isolated desert settings with minimal interruption. This unconventional practice reflected both her independence and self-reliance, as well as her deep commitment to capturing the distinctive forms, light, and colors of the American Southwest.

[Answer] Which William Shakespeare play inspired the title of Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which William Shakespeare play inspired the title of Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World?"



...The title of Brave New World comes directly from a memorable line spoken by Miranda in The Tempest, one of William Shakespeare’s late romances. Upon seeing new people arrive on the island, Miranda exclaims, “O brave new world, that has such people in’t!” Aldous Huxley deliberately adopted the phrase ironically, using it as the title of his dystopian novel to sharply contrast the youthful optimism of the line with a future society defined by enforced conformity, rigid social control, technological conditioning, and the profound loss of individuality.
