Question on Reign of Terror a bit tendencious. Through much of France's earlier history you could be killed for the wrong political beliefs, though through more brutal methods. In this case, it was less a case of wrongthink as a charge of conspiracy at a time of war with the "nation's enemies", that is the foreign powers of the Alliance aiming to restore the monarchy, so treason.
The problem of the History of the French revolution is that in English-speaking countries, it's very heavily influenced by very conservative Brits such as Burke who were shaking at the idea that the plebs might take away their privileges. When you're educated in an English-speaking country and then read up on the actual events, you almost don't recognise the period.
As it was remarked already, Austria was also taking pieces of Poland (remarkably the then capital Krakow!).
Furthermore, please, please, please cease calling it "metric" system. Or at least give type-ins
Even the imperial metric system is a metric system (although obsolete and impractical). "Metric" means "measurement" (from Greek), so you can decide to call it:
- International System (or ISU, as proposed)
- Decimal Metric System
- MKS (from the basic units metre kilogram and second)
- Anything but "metric" as the imperial system is also a metric system
Etymology doesn't define the meaning, it doesn't matter what it means in Ancient Greek. Please don't reinvent English language when it's quite clear what metric system is (with some variation): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system
Poland? I think in all my history books and all documents i have it say's the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or just The Commonwealth. It's a bit of lack of history knowledge and a dishonor for the Lithuanian's to put only "Poland".
I don't need no comments about, it was just poland or it was polonized, I'm a historian and I have official documents proving the fact of the Commonwealth.
Poland, or rather the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (of which Poland was part, just like England is part of the UK), was partitioned between Prussia, Russia and Austria.
Surprised not to see Alexander Mackenzie's expedition not mentioned. Especially when the Lewis and Clark expedition is mentioned in the 1800s decade quiz.
Please accept 'Cell' or 'Electrical cell' for the question on Volta. It's a more accurate answer as strictly a 'battery' consists of more than one cell.

Although I supposed the 1790s were a pretty French-centric decade...
