Question: How many U.S. dollars were saved for Unilever since the start of the program?

“The sustainable living plan is much broader than the sustainable sourcing of agricultural materials,” Mr. Polman said. “It’s really using your business model to address big issues in society and make a positive contribution.” Mr. Polman says the sustainable living plan is profitable as well as ethical. The company claims that efficiency upgrades to Unilever factories have created savings of 400 million euros, or $430 million, since 2008. It is also aggressively marketing sustainable brands in the hope of increasing sales (including a paid post from Ben & Jerry’s on the website of The New York Times).

Answer: $430 million

Question: What was the name of the lesser-known work that came after the subject in the passage?

“Black Rage” thrust Dr. Grier into the spotlight. Immediately after the book was published, KRON, the local NBC television station, followed him and Dr. Cobbs on a walk on Fillmore Street as they explained the issues discussed in the book. ABC broadcast a special on the book called “To Be Black.” The prominent black scholar Kenneth B. Clark, a professor of social psychology at City College, criticized “Black Rage” in The New York Times Book Review as simplistic, unscholarly and overly impressed with the originality of its findings. But most critics found the book readable, persuasive and sobering. The authors followed up with “The Jesus Bag” (1971), a critical analysis of the role of religion in black life. It was not nearly as successful as “Black Rage.” After serving as chairman of the department of psychiatry at Meharry Medical College in Nashville in the early 1970s, Dr. Grier started a psychiatric practice in San Diego, from which he retired in the 1990s.

Question: Who did reporters scuffle with on live television?

Reporters in Istanbul covered a police raid on their own offices on Wednesday, as the Turkish government seized control of two television stations and a newspaper group critical of the governing party just four days before national elections. Scuffles between officers and reporters unfolded on live television as the police broke into the shared headquarters of the two channels, KanalTurk and Bugun TV, and ushered in court-appointed trustees who were placed in charge of the company that owns the media group, Koza Ipek Holding.

Question: The US dollar is at its highest amount since how long ago?

The diverging paths of the two central banks prompted investors to put money into dollars, on the expectation that interest rates in the United States will rise and offer a better return than in Europe, where interest rates are falling. The euro fell to 1.20 against the dollar on Friday, its lowest since June 2010, while the yield, or market interest rate, on German two-year government bonds fell to a new low of minus 0.11 percent. The yield has been below zero since September; investors were willing to effectively pay the German government to keep their money safe. The larger picture is not merely that the dollar is gaining against the euro. Signs that the Fed is getting closer to raising its benchmark interest rate from zero have helped the United States currency to soar against its counterparts in Japan, Britain and in major emerging markets. Against a broad basket of currencies, the dollar has risen more than 13 percent since September to its highest level in almost six years.

Question: Which actor gets naked in Joe Swanberg's new movie, "Digging for Fire"?

“Digging for Fire,” Joe Swanberg’s new feature is, like many of his previous movies, a case study in heterosexual ethics. Its scope is narrow and, the title notwithstanding, it plumbs no great depths. But like Mr. Swanberg’s “Drinking Buddies” and “Happy Christmas,” the film has an appealing honesty and an enjoyably low-key comic style. The opening titles promise a big ensemble, and a good deal of suspense comes from wondering just when some of those intriguing names will show up. It would almost be a spoiler to tell you when and in what capacity they do, but it’s fun to anticipate the arrival of Melanie Lynskey, Sam Elliott, Brie Larson, Chris Messina (who gets naked) and Anna Kendrick (who almost does). Orlando Bloom appears at almost the precise moment you’ve forgotten he was supposed to, wearing a man-bun and an air of rugged weariness.

Question: What moved over to play center field?

Ellsbury has been out since May 20 with a sprained knee, and Gardner has shifted over to replace him in center field and at the top of the batting order. Besides Gardner, who is batting .296 with 61 runs and 15 stolen bases in 18 attempts, the other candidates are Detroit outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, Kansas City third baseman Mike Moustakas, Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts and Minnesota second baseman Brian Dozier. Fans can vote until Friday. “I’m more of a low-key guy,” Gardner said. “I know the team is going to do their part and hopefully some of my teammates step up. I know they’re going to try and get me some votes. I’m just going to focus on getting my work in and helping us win games and see how it turns out on Friday.”

Question: Mr. Weinberg believes that lenders will need more guidance about what?

The issue is that short-term financing like construction loans, which are usually 12 months or less, is exempt from existing disclosure requirements under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, but disclosure requirements would apply under the new rules. Lenders need more guidance on the form these disclosures should take, Mr. Weinberg said.

Question: Who did Jeb Bush falter in a debate against?

But now, in an election cycle where the Republican Party’s grass-roots wing is angry and looking for a presidential candidate who projects a visceral sense of their frustration, some of Jeb Bush’s supporters say he may need to learn the fine art of negative campaigning. The Republican debate on Tuesday in Las Vegas provides Mr. Bush with a highly anticipated platform to forcefully take on his rivals. After faltering in a previous debate exchange with Senator Marco Rubio, Mr. Bush — perhaps more than anyone else onstage — might be compelled to prove he has the strength and passion not just to lead the nation, but to hold his own in the aggressive Colosseum of modern politics. That could be tricky for a man whose family code is one of polite gentility and even bipartisanship, not angry yelling and boorishness.

Question: Who hired the detective to find the brothers?

At its best, “Big Time” works like a parody and love letter to shows like “Breaking Bad,” whose ingenious last-second escapes were always a little absurd and ripe for ridicule. “Big Time” makes this point more overtly. By the end of the fourth episode, two brothers (along with Mr. Gooding) break into a suburban house, hold a family hostage while being trailed by a detective hired by their mother and by a team of drug traffickers with machine guns. There aren’t many jokes, but it’s a nicely staged sequence in which barreling action becomes joyfully preposterous farce.

Question: Politicians went on TV to let people know what it safe?

When Hainan Development Bank collapsed in 1998, China’s central bank made sure no depositors incurred losses, by transferring their accounts at full value to the much larger Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. During a bank run last year at a rural lender in the eastern province of Jiangsu, the central bank delivered cash by the truckload and local politicians went on television to reassure people their savings were safe. Now, the government is signaling a willingness to pull away, at least selectively. On April 21, for example, China’s huge domestic bond market experienced its first default  by a state-owned company, and analysts expect more to follow. The banking sector sits at the center of the overhaul effort. For years, China’s banks have paid ordinary savers generally low rates on their deposits and lent those funds to state-run companies, which have been known for making wasteful investments. Allowing market forces to play a bigger role in this process is intended to push banks to more accurately price risk when lending. Deposit insurance is just the first step — and a relatively easy one. The government also plans to remove the caps on interest rates that banks pay on those deposits, which officials have signaled could happen as soon as this year. Combined, these two measures will force Chinese banks to reorient their thinking and take into account market dynamics. Without the implicit backing of the government, banks will have to pay more attention to the creditworthiness of borrowers, rather than simply favoring loans to state-owned enterprises.

Question: What makes the island magical?

This summer marks 40 years since Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” made Martha’s Vineyard a household name, setting off the island’s inexorable transformation from remote haven of artists and hippies to high-profile haunt of celebrities and presidents. Yes, in summer, dinner and ferry reservations may be difficult to get, and traffic tests tempers. But what hasn’t changed is what makes the island so magical: breathtaking natural beauty, rich ethnic heritage, a vibrant cultural scene and an abundance of farms and fisheries that feed a savvy foodie community. One thing you won’t find: the popular Monster Shark Tournament, which was discontinued last summer, thanks in part to the shark activist wife, Wendy Benchley, of the “Jaws” author (and screenwriter), Peter Benchley. But you’ll still spot more artists, writers and hippies than you can shake a codfish bone at. 1. Tent City | 2 p.m. From the dock in Oak Bluffs, the green expanse of Ocean Park encircled by ornate Victorian homes looks much like the bustling resort it was more than 130 years ago. Then it was called Cottage City, for the annual Methodist retreat that grew from a few worshipers who camped in tents to hundreds of cottages built around a tabernacle. The nostalgic organ tunes emanating from the 139-year-old Flying Horses carousel can still be heard above the din of Circuit Avenue as you pass the T-shirt and ice-cream shops and enter the oasis of the camp-meeting neighborhood. Walk around the circular 1879 wrought-iron tabernacle and marvel at the colorful Carpenter Gothic-style cottages. Today this nondenominational community is an integral part of the summer scene, hosting art shows, singalongs, films and speakers. Don’t miss the Cottage Museum, where period furnishings, historical materials and a volunteer tell the story of this National Historic Landmark.

Question: Where were the Israelites located?

It’s not that simple. The debate about race was very specific to America, modernity, the South. (Bans on interracial marriage were generally a white supremacist innovation, not an inheritance from Christendom or common law.) The slave owners and segregationists had scriptural arguments, certainly. But they were also up against one of the Bible’s major meta-narratives — from the Israelites in Egypt to Saint Paul’s “neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free.” That’s not the case with sex and marriage. The only clear biblical meta-narrative is about male and female. Sex is an area of Jewish law that Jesus explicitly makes stricter. What we now call the “traditional” view of sexuality was a then-radical idea separating the early church from Roman culture, and it’s remained basic in every branch of Christianity until very recently. Jettisoning it requires repudiating scripture, history and tradition in a way the end of Jim Crow did not.

Question: What happened when reporters tried to contact Mr. Livan regarding the bakery?

Mr. Zaro said he was told by the management company, Olshan Properties, that a Boston Market would replace the bakery. Olshan did not reply to telephone and email messages seeking comment. Mr. Livan ate a toasted, buttered dinner roll on Sunday as he waited for his friends to arrive. He had his opinions about losing a place he loves. “They’re driving out all the middle-income businesses” from Grant Circle, he said, “and they’re going to bring us another greasy spoon or a fast-food restaurant. We don’t need another one of those.” Other customers who stopped in Zaro’s to grab a loaf of challah bread or a cheese Danish voiced similar concerns about changes in Parkchester.

Question: Senator Mark Warner represents which state?

Democratic and Republican lawmakers have been unsparing in their criticism of the personnel agency’s handling of the data breach and its aftermath — and its habit of periodically revising upward the amount of information that was lost. Government officials have not been able to explain publicly why it took more than a year to discover that information was leaving its systems at a tremendous rate. Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia, said in a statement on Wednesday that “the massive new number of employees’ fingerprints that was breached is shocking.” He continued, “And it does little to instill confidence in O.P.M. that it took them so long to detect that the number was so much larger than originally thought.” He called for “lifetime identity protection coverage” for the affected employees and contractors. But that assumes there was a financial motive to the theft; officials say it seems more likely that it was a national security motive.

Question: does the cat resemble a king?

I took my sweet little dog for a walk. He got agitated by a cat sitting on a porch, pulled free of me and raced toward the house, knocking over (and breaking) a large ceramic urn. I acknowledge that I am partly responsible for the damage. But don’t the homeowners have some responsibility, too, letting their cat sit out in the open? ANONYMOUS You break it; you bought it. “And your little dog, too,” growled the Wicked Witch of the West. The cat is free to sit on its porch with regal impunity.

Question: What didn't he want to repeat in the country?

“No matter how they explained their position, the state is falling apart,” he said in 2012. “Interethnic, interclan and intertribal conflicts continue.” He added, “And you want us to constantly repeat these mistakes in other countries?” He argued against intervention by outside powers in Syria as well, adding that Russia was “not concerned with the fate” of President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

Question: During what season did Rose got another injury?

Rose, cleared medically but uncertain of his own health, was accused of a lack of toughness and a me-first attitude. When he finally returned for the next season, 2013-14, another injury — this time a torn medial meniscus in his right knee — felled him in only his 10th game. Rose aggravated the injury this season, had surgery and missed a quarter of the campaign; he returned just before the end of the regular season. In his absence, the Bulls were a scrappy underdog — a solid regular-season team that lacked the star power for playoff crunchtime. On Saturday, they had the look of a championship contender.

Question: On what channel is "TransAmerica" shown?

Several reality series, some still in the planning stages, are centered on transgender people, like TLC’s “All That Jazz,” about the teenage transgender activist Jazz Jennings, and VH1’s “TransAmerica,” about the model and activist Carmen Carrera. Nick Adams, the director of programs for transgender media at the gay rights organization Glaad, said that any time a transgender celebrity comes forward with his or her story, “it goes a very long way toward educating people about who we are and the challenges that we face.” “Every transgender person’s journey is unique, and by choosing to share this story, Bruce Jenner adds another layer to America’s understanding of what it means to be transgender,” Mr. Adams said in a statement on Friday night. Mr. Adams, who is transgender, said that media portrayals of transgender people had improved since he transitioned 18 years ago. But, he said, such reports need to more fully explore what it means to be transgender.

Question: Who is subject of the so-called war?

There may be a “liberation” in growing old, but this can change when seniors read the handwriting on the wall. I consider myself part of the baby boom generation, and looking back on our accomplishments, I’m proud. We brought about much-needed cultural change. The baby boom demographic needs to organize again and take a stand against the war on seniors. “The language used to describe the changing age composition of the population is little short of apocalyptic,” Anne Karpf writes. I’ve picked up on this, too.

Question: What two weapons was used to break down a door?

For a moment, he twirled the rope in his hands like a lasso, then threw the hook over the wire, and tugged hard, testing for explosives. When nothing happened he signaled two comrades, who ran up and started snipping the wire with cutters. Although this was a typical training exercise for raw recruits in an elemental soldierly skill, there was nothing typical about the scene. Far from enlistees, these soldiers were regulars in the Ukrainian National Guard, presumably battle-hardened after months on the front lines in eastern Ukraine. And the trainer was an American military instructor, drilling troops for battle with the United States’ former Cold War foe, Russia, and Russian-backed separatists. “It’s been a long time since I heard a target called an Ivan,” First Sgt. David Dzwik, one of the trainers, said in an interview out in the sunny forest, while observing the Ukrainians run through drills. “Now, I’m hearing it again.” The course on cutting wire is one of 63 classes of remedial military instruction being provided by 300 United States Army trainers in three consecutive two-month courses. Here in western Ukraine, they are far from the fighting, and their job is to instill some basic military know-how in Ukrainian soldiers, who the trainers have discovered are woefully unprepared. The largely unschooled troops are learning such basic skills as how to use an encrypted walkie-talkie; how to break open a door with a sledgehammer and a crowbar; and how to drag a wounded colleague across a field while holding a rifle at the ready. When the war began a year ago, the Ukrainian Army was all but worthless — rife with corruption and Russian spies, and made up largely of “skeleton” battalions of officers with just a few men. About 1 percent of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade.

Question: Closings for Marquand began when?

Among the early entries was the Marquand, from HFZ Capital Group, in partnership with Vornado Realty Trust, a prewar rental-turned-condo at 11 East 68th Street, with an average sales price of $4,400 per square foot, according to a spokeswoman for the project. Closings began in 2014, and only a $46.5 million penthouse remains to be sold. That the area might be starting to resemble other parts of Manhattan does not surprise Mr. Wolf, the architect, who believes neighborhood and status are a lot less important than before. Noting that clients in their 60s are moving downtown for the energy and clients in their 40s are moving uptown for the quiet, he said, “The boundaries have just broken down.”

Question: Name the performers from Thursday that performed in Act III?

The week brings five casts at the Metropolitan Opera House. Having already seen five casts in the production’s opening season this March in California, I can attest that it’s rewarding to see them all — partly because Mr. Ratmansky has coached his casts with different textual options. There are, for example, two versions of the Lilac Fairy’s solo variation in the Prologue — both notated from the original St. Petersburg production. In the Act III wedding pas de deux, Sarah Lane and Herman Cornejo (on Thursday) eschew the celebrated and traditional fish dives. They instead perform supported pirouettes with an upright ending (one leg flourished to the side) — which is recorded in the notation as the original choreography.

Question: what county office did Mr. Constantine join?

Mr. Constantine once told a State University interviewer that after working in a radiator factory in Buffalo, he joined the Erie County sheriff’s office because “law enforcement was a chance for people of my generation, usually people of ethnic groups — Irish, Italian, Polish — who grew up in city neighborhoods and who had not gone to college, to get into an occupation with a challenging environment that had a great deal of flexibility and autonomy.” “We were looking for excitement and adventure,” he said.

Question: What company was Colin Callender the former president of?

“It’s an extraordinary job for me,” Mr. Rylance said after shooting multiple takes of a confrontation with an ailing Catherine of Aragon (Joanne Whalley). “There are about 70 or 80 scenes per episode, and I’m in most of them. The difficulty is that you are playing a character who never reveals what he is thinking. So you can’t compromise his expressionlessness, but you have to convey what might be going on for him.” Although the series has arrived after the plays, Colin Callender, a former president of HBO films whose production company Playground produced the series (with Company Pictures, “Masterpiece” and BBC Two), began negotiations to secure the rights in 2012. Mr. Callender said that as soon as he read the books, he envisaged a television production.

Soumitra Patil, 37, shook his head and laughed. Mr. Patil, who works in information technology at a bank in Manhattan, said he had missed meetings because of the delays. “I’m playing catch-up the whole day because of this,” he said.

Question: Who was responsible for two runs?

But David Cone, another Yankees war horse, walked in the tying run in the eighth, and the game went to extra innings. In the top of the 11th, the Yankees scored on a single by Randy Velarde, and all they had to do was hold the lead. They didn’t. In a play that seemed to unfold in slow motion so that you could see the heartbreak coming long before it arrived, Edgar Martinez doubled into the left-field corner off Jack McDowell, scoring two runs, including Ken Griffey Jr. on an all-out sprint from first base.

Question: which of investments do fund analysts think is the most dangerous?

“When the market is pricing assets that low, you should worry,” he said. Mutual fund analysts say that the Third Avenue fund is perhaps the riskiest of the many high-yield funds that investors have been piling into in recent years. Mr. Lapointe and his team of analysts acted more like private equity investors, taking large stakes in companies that were either already bankrupt or emerging from bankruptcy. Unlike most funds that hold bonds that can be bought and sold, albeit with some difficulty, private equity funds are not required to pay back investors on demand — it is a must for mutual funds.

Question: Who was not allowed to play for awhile because of the controversy?

No, it was the Super Bowl’s turn. This was true despite the fact that many a non-American struggles to understand the rules and appeal of the country’s favorite diversion. This was also true despite the stiff headwinds facing the National Football League: the dead-serious concerns about head trauma and domestic violence, and the less-weighty obsession with whether Tom Brady and the New England Patriots were responsible for deflating footballs earlier in the playoffs in search of an unfair advantage. Deflategate (the French daily Le Monde called it “Le Deflategate”) dominated the build-up to the Super Bowl, and then dominated the off-season, too, with Brady initially suspended for four games before that ruling was overturned by a federal judge.

Question: How much did Malta's economy increase by in the year 2014?

The tax system, in particular, has been a boon. Some foreign companies can be structured to pay 5 percent in corporate taxes. Malta also has double taxation treaties with 65 countries, allowing individuals and businesses to avoid being taxed in two places. Significant tax advantages and a pro-business regulator have created a booming financial services industry. It now represents 12 to 15 percent of the country’s G.D.P., up from 6.3 percent in 2004. Online gambling companies have flocked to the island, as have hedge funds. With a strong corporate base, Malta sailed through the economic crisis relatively unscathed. The economy grew 3.5 percent in 2014. Unemployment is 5.8 percent, the fourth-lowest in Europe. Malta was looking to expand that economic growth through the citizenship program. Under the initial plan in 2013, the newly installed Labor Party government proposed selling passports for €650,000, with few other requirements for citizenship. Almost immediately, it drew protests. The country, critics argued, was not an economic basket case like other European nations trying similar programs. They also worried that the program would damage its reputation as an attractive place to do business. “We do not want to form part of a law which prostitutes Malta’s identity and its citizenship,” Mario de Marco, a vocal member of the opposition, said during the debate. The opposition took the program to the European Parliament in an effort to block it. While the Parliament condemned the program, it could do little else, because citizenship is controlled by national governments. To placate the Parliament and the opposition, the government raised the bar for citizenship. Strict due diligence standards were set to weed out money launderers and criminals. It also raised the cost and adopted a residency requirement. In addition to the €650,000 fee to the government, applicants must now invest €150,000 in government bonds, buy property for at least €350,000 or rent a place for at least €16,000 a year — all of which must be held for at least five years. “This is not ‘tick the box,’” said Mr. Cardona, the chief of the program. Mr. Hyzler, the lawyer, and others note that the newcomers are establishing real links to Malta. They are setting up bank accounts and buying health insurance, both of which are required. They are also joining country clubs and donating to local charities, which is encouraged. “Clients genuinely want to do more than just make the investment,” said Mark Stannard, managing director of the Maltese office of Henley & Partners, a residence and citizenship planning firm. He said a Saudi national with a Lebanese passport who had applied for Maltese citizenship had recently returned with a delegation of 12 to consider setting up businesses in aviation, life sciences and real estate.

Question: Under the new guidelines, what country has access to China's markets?

As part of their increased oversight, financial regulators have been cracking down recently on insider trading, which analysts say is rampant on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. Suspicions of insider trading were cited this week in the arrest of the owner of one of the country’s top investment firms, Xu Xiang, a billionaire who has been called the Carl Icahn of China. With the resumption of I.P.O.s, the spokesman for the securities regulator, Deng Ge, said on Friday that the agency intended to simplify the approval process for smaller companies and heighten the responsibilities of the brokerages that bring new listings to the market. The new measures would “increase protections for the rights and interests of investors and further reform and perfect the I.P.O. system,” Mr. Deng said, according to Xinhua. In a separate development Friday evening, China’s central bank and securities regulator jointly published long-delayed guidelines for investment firms in mainland China and Hong Kong to gain access to each other’s markets.

Question: was erving from nassua county?

If you tried to define New York City basketball strictly by birthplace, you would include players like Michael Jordan, who was born in Brooklyn but grew up elsewhere. And you would exclude Julius Erving, who was born in Nassau County, next to but not part of the city, but who helped to enhance the New York style of play with his wizardry at the famous Rucker Park playground in Harlem before going on to star for the New York Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. So clearly there is more to the definition than an original address. And even if you can agree that a player should basically be considered a New York City athlete if he went to high school in one of the five boroughs, is there anything else that traditionally sets apart a New York City basketball player?

Question: The new rules that the Labor Department is working on are targeted at investment managers who handle what?

The Labor Department said on Monday that it would try to do something about that last problem. It has set to work on rules that would assign a “fiduciary duty” to investment managers who handle retirement savings accounts. That means that they would need to put their clients in suitable investment products, and could be sued if they didn’t.
