NPR News has published a news quiz rounding up this week's politics and entertainment, led by a question about Elon Musk's political spending: how much money has the billionaire given to Republican groups since July?
In its introduction to the quiz, NPR names the stories readers will be tested on. They include "comings and goings at the White House," what the broadcaster calls "the revenge of a child (reality) star," Musk "doing Elon Musk things," and the pope, who, NPR writes, "seems to be doing OK."
The teaser image accompanying the quiz features three figures: Kimberly Guilfoyle, Selma Blair and Collin Gosselin. The photographs are credited to Aurore Marechal/Getty Images, Amy Sussman/Getty Images and Chad Salvador/Variety via Getty Images.
NPR tells readers that if they have followed all of those stories, they "could be in for a perfect score."
A question, not an answer
The quiz headline asks directly about Musk's donations to Republican groups since July, but NPR's introduction does not state the amount or name any of the groups. The question is framed as a test of how closely readers have followed the news, and the teaser text available does not supply the figure.
Mixing politics and celebrity
The listed topics span national politics and entertainment. The White House item is described only as comings and goings, without names or roles. The item about a former child reality star is likewise described without naming the person, beyond the caption on the quiz image.
The pope is mentioned briefly, with NPR noting that he appears to be doing fine. That summary is presented as part of the week's news roundup rather than as a separate report.
What readers get
The format is a reader quiz: a set of questions drawn from the week's coverage, with a score offered to those who answer correctly. NPR presents it as a way for readers who have been paying attention to check how much they retained.
Because the teaser does not reproduce the quiz questions or answers, the exact wording of the other items, and any figures attached to them, are not included in the text available here.
