The Democratic Party’s response was that his claims are fraudulent and he is spreading misinformation.

2. The answer is A, 3–1 Netherlands win. According to the National Public Radio organization, the Netherlands defeated the United States in the World Cup three goals to one.

3. The answer is D, Avalanche. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Utah issued its first avalanche warning of the year due to the recent snow storms coming through the valley.
