The last question on the quiz is like this:

Question 7 of 7

Fifty years ago, after the commercial failure of his first two albums, Bruce Springsteen released his iconic album Born to Run. Born — bookended by “Thunder Road” and the epic “Jungleland” — leaped up the charts, and Springsteen was launched into superstardom. At the center of the Boss’s masterpiece was the gorgeously wrought summer anthem “Born to Run.”

Where did the Boss get the inspiration for the song “Born to Run”?

A track meet

A horse race

Cars racing in the street

It was fall of 1973 and Springsteen was in Asbury Park, watching the street racers in their souped-up cars on a Saturday night. One car had words running down its flank, a chain of cursive letters canted forward as if pulled by the finish line off in the distance. Did he actually see it on a passing racer? Or did it simply pop into his head? Bruce wrote it into his notebook, in case he forgot it: Born to run.

So, the right answer is "cars racing in the street". But when you answer the question right, it has a red X as if one answered the question wrongly.
