Today’s Bing News Quiz Answers
Compare your answers with the correct answers and explanations from today’s news edition.
01
Nvidia shares fell on Monday, November 9, after CEO Jensen Huang admitted an affair with a woman U.S. intelligence reportedly believes is a Chinese spy. About how much did the stock drop that day?
Correct answer: About 4%
Nvidia closed down about 4.3% at $178.67 on the first trading day after Huang told employees in a Sunday memo that he had an extramarital affair. The company's board launched an independent investigation, and China denied the spying allegations.
02
On November 7, President Trump publicly offered the White House press secretary job to the head of which sports organization?
Correct answer: UFC
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the UFC's president and CEO, Dana White, had been offered the job and urged him to take it. White posted a photo of himself behind the White House briefing-room lectern, and Trump later said he was only kidding.
03
Houston Mayor John Whitmire's new executive order lets police contact ICE during traffic stops only when a person has committed a jailable offense and has what?
Correct answer: An ICE warrant
Under the order announced November 6, officers will cite and release people in nonviolent cases. Whitmire said elections matter after Democrats swept statewide races, including Gina Hinojosa's win over Gov. Greg Abbott, who had threatened to pull about $110 million in public safety grants from Houston.
04
Which Republican congressman says he will force a House vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth now that lawmakers are back this week?
Correct answer: Thomas Massie
Massie said he would trigger the vote when Congress returned, weeks before the new Democratic majority is sworn in. Many Republicans blame Hegseth for urging President Trump into the Iran war, though Trump says he is not considering replacing him.
05
The U.N. climate summit COP31 opened on November 9 with no U.S. delegation. Where is it being held?
Correct answer: Antalya, Turkey
Turkey is hosting COP31 in Antalya through November 20, while Australia's climate minister, Chris Bowen, presides over the negotiations. The White House skipped the talks for a second straight year, saying it is focused on its energy agenda.
06
Israeli President Isaac Herzog gave which former army chief the first chance to form a new government, passing over Benjamin Netanyahu?
Correct answer: Gadi Eisenkot
Herzog handed Eisenkot the mandate on Sunday, November 8, after parties representing most Knesset members recommended him. Eisenkot, who heads the Yashar party, has 28 days to build a coalition, with a possible 14-day extension.
07
The Buffalo Bills improved to 7-1 with a 23-6 win on Monday Night Football over which team?
Correct answer: Minnesota Vikings
Buffalo's defense held the hosts to 178 total yards in Minneapolis. Josh Allen threw a touchdown pass to tight end Keleki Latu, James Cook ran for 107 yards, and Tyler Bass kicked three field goals to extend his franchise-record streak to 24 in a row.
08
California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he will commute every death sentence in the state to life without parole. How many people are on California's death row?
Correct answer: 548
Newsom's office said the 548 people include 529 men and 19 women. Because the state constitution requires California Supreme Court approval for repeat felons, the court will have the final say on about 382 of the commutations. Newsom halted executions with a moratorium in 2019.
09
President Trump says he expects to meet Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin at next week's APEC summit. Which Chinese city is hosting it?
Correct answer: Shenzhen
China is hosting this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen. Trump said he wants to discuss the Iran war and denuclearization, and China's foreign ministry has confirmed contacts with Washington and Moscow about a possible three-way meeting.
10
Who was sworn in as Paraguay's president after Santiago Peña was removed over the collapse of the digital lender Ueno Bank?
Correct answer: Pedro Alliana
Peña announced his resignation on November 5, and minutes later the lower house voted 78-0 to impeach him. Ueno, which claimed more than 60% of Paraguay's adults as customers, had been seized by the central bank, freezing savings. Alliana then took office.
