TASK DEFINITION: In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: Some of the figures in this painting are seemingly superfluous:  Mercury stands at the far left, dispelling clouds from above trees laden with golden fruit. A Cupid on the wing aims his little bow, but is probably only there by grace of his mother Venus, above whom he hovers. The action takes place on the right. The West Wind, Zephyrus, pursues a virginal Chloris whom he will rape. Chloris is then shown transformed, bedecked with flowers, as the title character. For 10 points, name this Botticelli allegorical work.

SOLUTION: Fine Arts

PROBLEM: On the night before this battle, one side attempted to launch a sneak attack at Nairn whilst the other side was celebrating the birthday of its commander, while during the battle itself the losing commander's bodyguard supposedly shouted "Run, you Italian coward!". It followed an unsuccessful attempt to capture Stirling Castle on one side and the inability of General Hawley to secure a clearcut victory for the opposing side. The bayonet tactics of the victors were what made the difference in this battle which lasted less than an hour, perhaps thanks to George Murray no longer being in command of the Highland forces during it. The Duke of Cumberland had "See the Conquering Hero Comes" written in honor of his triumph in this battle. It followed Falkirk and was the final clash in the "Forty Five Rebellion". FTP, name this 1746 battle, the last fought on British soil, in which the Jacobites under Bonnie Prince Charlie were decisively defeated.

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: One variety of this type of device works because quantum mechanical tunneling causes an increase in voltage to result in a decrease in current. That variety is noteworthy for the small size of its key component, which is often about one hundred angstroms wide, and is known as the tunnel variety. Another type of this device works by being reversed biased, thus keeping the voltage close to a namesake voltage. That variety often used as a shunt voltage regulator is named after an American physicist who also has a namesake pinning. One common type of these devices uses materials with a direct band gap, and like all of these devices, consists of a semiconducting chip doped with impurities to create a P-N junction. Including Zener varieties, for 10 points, name this device which conducts electric current in one direction, the most famous type of which emits light.
