Question: What is McDavid's communication style?

McDavid, who tends to be more soft-spoken, said: “It’s not up to me to decide. A lot of people will do a lot of talking, and they’ll judge with their own eyes. I believe in my abilities, and I feel I’m the best player in the draft. I’m not sure, maybe you’ll hear a different answer from Jack.” When it came to testing this week, Eichel was superior to McDavid. Eichel prevailed in five tests: bench press, pull-ups and agility, and vertical and standing broad jumps. Eichel’s results ranked well against other prospects, too. He had the best endurance result (12 minutes 15 seconds) in a grueling test in which the prospects pedal a bike against stiff resistance while wearing an oxygen mask. He ranked fifth in vertical jump, fourth in bench press and fifth in the standing broad jump, and he had the strongest right-hand grip. None of that will alter his or McDavid’s standings, which are cast. Things get more interesting with the next picks, starting with the Arizona Coyotes’ selection in the third slot. Don Maloney, Arizona’s general manager, was reluctant to reveal his hand. He indicated that little of what had happened at the combine would determine his course early in the draft. He did allow, though, that some of his team’s later selections could be affected.

Question: When did the War in Afghanistan begin?

Separately, Bernadette Meehan, a spokeswoman for the council, said, “President Obama has not opened the door to anything larger than an embassy force after 2016.” Mr. Eggers’s comments are in line with what other officials say is being debated within the administration, even if Mr. Obama’s focus is currently on what to do next year, not afterward. Like so many of the plans for Afghanistan laid out in Washington since the war’s outset in 2001, realities on the ground appear to again be forcing American officials to consider revamping their strategy for ending the war. Peace talks appear to be a far-off possibility after a stretch in February and early March in which it appeared that the Taliban might be willing to meet with the Afghan government. So instead of talking about how to end the war, Afghan and American officials are preparing for violence to intensify as the snow melts in the high passes that separate the insurgents from their safe havens in Pakistan and what is known as the fighting season gets underway. Afghan forces, which have done the bulk of the fighting and dying over the past two years, are still very much a work in progress. They managed to keep the Taliban from making significant gains last summer only with help from the American-led coalition.

Question: When did Robert A. Levinson disappear?

The United States announced Monday that it had increased to $5 million its reward for information that could lead to the safe return of Robert A. Levinson, a former F.B.I. agent who disappeared in Iran in 2007. The move comes as the Obama administration appears to be closing in on an agreement with Iran under which Tehran would accept limits on its nuclear program in return for the lifting of economic sanctions. The fate of Americans who have been detained by Iran — or in Mr. Levinson’s case who have disappeared there — is not formally part of the talks. Monday was the eighth anniversary of Mr. Levinson’s disappearance, which occurred during a visit he made to Kish Island, Iran. His family received photographs and a video in late 2010 and early 2011. The F.B.I. offered a $1 million reward in 2012 for information about Mr. Levinson and increased it by $4 million on Monday. Iran has denied that it knows his whereabouts.

Question: Who is the creator of the popular WeChat messaging app?

Ford said it was in talks with Tencent, maker of the popular WeChat messaging app, to develop messaging functions for the manufacturer’s cars in China. David Huang, a senior engineer who heads Ford’s Asia Pacific connected-services unit, said, “People want to stay connected, stay informed and stay entertained all the time, even when they’re driving.” Drivers would sync their phone to their car’s software system and control WeChat functions, chosen by Tencent and certified by Ford as safe, through voice commands or limited use of buttons. Yale Zhang, managing director of the Shanghai-based consultancy Automotive Foresight, said connectivity was a deciding factor for Chinese customers buying a car. “Those kind of things are the fundamental things people will consider,” he added. Many Chinese use WeChat’s free voice messaging feature instead of phone calls, holding up their smartphones like walkie-talkies as they speak, tap and listen to replies. Rivals including Daimler and Nissan are also looking at ways to give drivers safe, hands-free access to mobile apps in China, home to the world’s largest number of smartphone users. WeChat is China’s most prevalent chatting app, with about half a billion active monthly users.

Question: What is it tempting to describe the Market for Ms. Basford's book as?

There are, it seems, a lot of them. Though it is tempting to describe the market for her books as niche, Ms. Basford, a 31-year-old illustrator in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, has quickly outgrown that label. Like Play-Doh, jungle gyms and nursery rhymes, coloring books have always seemed best suited for the preschool set. So Ms. Basford and her publisher were surprised to learn that there was a robust — and lucrative — market for coloring books aimed at grown-ups. When they first tested the waters with “Secret Garden” a year ago, they released a cautiously optimistic first printing of 16,000 books. “I thought my mom was going to have to buy a lot of copies,” Ms. Basford said. “When the sales started to take off, it was a real shock.”
