That’s News to you answers

Here are the answers to this week’s quiz:

1. B. An extra cup or two of coffee may be OK after all. More eggs, too. But you definitely need to drink less sugary soda. And, as always, don’t forget your vegetables.

The committee also is backing off stricter limits on salt, though it says Americans still get too much. It’s recommending the first real limits on added sugar, saying that’s especially a problem for young people.

2. C. Jeff Gordon earned the pole for the final Daytona 500 of his career. The four-time NASCAR champion is a three-time 500 winner. Gordon was the first pole winner to eclipse 200 mph since 1987. His pole-winning speed was 201.293.

3. A. Random House Children’s Books announced that Geisel’s manuscript with illustrations, called “What Pet Should I Get?” will be published July 28. The publisher also plans for at least two more books from materials discovered in the late author’s La Jolla, California, home in 2013.

A box filled with pages of text and sketches was found and set aside shortly after the author’s death in 1991 when his widow, Audrey Geisel, was remodeling their home. It was rediscovered in fall 2013 by Audrey Geisel and the author’s secretary.

“What Pet Should I Get?” likely was written sometime between 1958 and 1962 because it features the same brother and sister who are in his “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish” book published in 1960, said Cathy Goldsmith, Random House associate publishing director.

4. C. West Virginia officials evacuated hundreds of families and shut down two water treatment plants threatened by oil seeping into the river.

The cause remains unknown, but excessive speed doesn’t appear to be a factor, according to authorities. The CSX train was going 33 mph at the time of the crash in the town of Mount Carbon. The speed limit was 50 mph, said Federal Railroad Administration acting administrator Sarah Feinberg.

5. D. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said the hike for 500,000 employees is part of comprehensive changes to the company’s hiring, training, compensation and scheduling programs in the United States, as well as to store management structure.

It said the changes are expected to cost more than $1 billion in the retailer’s current fiscal year, which began Feb. 1.

The pay raise puts entry-level wages $1.75 an hour above the federal minimum wage. In addition, all current employees will be paid at least $10 an hour by February 2016, the company said.
