Question 1 of 8

We recently reported that nearly a dozen cases of this virus, which was thought to be effectively eliminated from the U.S. over 20 years ago, have been reported this year.

Measles “is the most contagious and easily transmittable virus that we have,” said Patricia A. Stinchfield, president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.

Question 2 of 8

This auto manufacturer has recalled nearly 1.9 million of its SUVs, citing a risk that pieces of exterior trim may detach and fly off.

All Ford Explorers manufactured from 2011 to 2019 are potentially affected, although it’s estimated that only 5 percent have the recall defect.

Question 3 of 8

This smartphone manufacturer recently introduced a feature that adds a layer of security to devices that are outside of familiar surroundings, preventing thieves from making critical changes and often rendering stolen devices useless.

The stolen device protection must be manually enabled to go into effect.

Question 4 of 8

Which of these directors over 50 were recently nominated for the Academy Award for best director?

In addition, eight out of the 20 nominations in the acting categories went to artists over 50.

Question 7 of 8

This bankrupt drugstore chain recently announced it will close or sell an additional 18 stories in nine states in a second round of closings.

Since announcing its bankruptcy last year, Rite Aid has identified 172 stories in 15 states it is closing or selling.

Question 8 of 8
