Good Morning,

I have a query regarding a light hearted quiz in a magazine. I think they have given the wrong answer as being correct.

The Question is: "Who is the only 20th Century U S President to feature on Mount Rushmore ? There is a Multiple Choice of answer possibilities;

A: Theodore Roosevelt

B: Abraham Lincoln

C: Thomas Jefferson


My US History is not that great, but I think the answer is; A: Theodore Roosevelt, however the answer given in the magazine is B: Abraham Lincoln, but I don't think that can be correct as he was President in the Mid 1800's so that's the 19th Century and I think Thomas Jefferson was even earlier than that?

Perhaps this is one for or friends on this site from the U S A.

Thanks, Steve.

Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States, in office from 1801 to 1809.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president, in office from 1861 to 1865

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president, in office from 1901 to 1909.

So you are right in thinking that the answer to the quiz question is A, and the magazine is wrong in stating that the answer is B.

Even Trump would find it hard to get himself re-elected after being dead for 35 years.
