Sunday #2

Back with Sunday Trivia!!!

Hello guys, it's your author again. So this has been a week already of compiling questions. I wish that this works as a "Quizzer's diary" for aspiring college and school quizzers, because this essentially is my diary of questions, also in midweek, after probably 2-3 days of collecting questions, I decided to incorporate as much of current trends and topics as possible, so that it does not feel out of touch. So I am now aiming to mix old classic quiz questions along with current affairs(which are the biggest part of Quizzing). Your comments and suggestions on how to improve it better are very much welcome.

Okay, so here are the questions for today. Hope you enjoy it.
