Instructions Competition Mode: For each correct answer, you get points based on how many other players get the question wrong. Your score is the sum of all correct answers.

Example: If you get a question correct that only 10% of all players get correct, you get 90 points for that question.

You can choose 5 questions to "Double". If you get it correct, your score is doubled for that question.

TIP: Easy questions aren't usually worth doubling since you are likely doubling a small number of points. You're better off doubling the hardest questions that you think you have correct (80 points possibly doubled is a lot better than 10 points definitely doubled).

You will not lose points for incorrect answers, so feel free to guess.

You can enter up to three group names, separated by commas, in the "Private Group" input. After you submit, when you view your results you can see the leaderboards for just your group(s). You will also get links you can share with others so they can play in those groups.
Feel free to create your own group name, such as your company or town, and pass the links along to friends, family, and coworkers.

Good luck!     
 
Question #20: Poetry: In addition to "O Captain! My Captain!", written in 1865 about the death of Abraham Lincoln, what lesser known Whitman work, a 206-line free verse elegy also written in 1865, uses a series of natural imagery in moving from grief toward an acceptance of death?

Answer: "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd"
Whitman first published "Leaves of Grass" in 1855 and spent the rest of his life revising it. During the Civil War, he went to Washington, D.C. and worked in hospitals caring for the wounded. "When Lilacs...", along 42 other poems from his Civil War years, were absorbed into "Leaves of Grass" beginning with its fourth edition, published in 1867.
