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.

Q: Military conflicts in this state include the Tuscarora War, squelched by Governor Edward Hyde, and the Regulator Movement, in which the title dissidents dragged state officials through the then-capital of Hillsborough. The western portion of what is now this state, when led by John Sevier and named Franklin, received seven votes for admission at the Continental Congress, while its central "Piedmont" region saw the first sit-ins of the civil rights movement at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, and its locale of Kill Devil Hills was the site of the Wright Brothers' first successful heavier-than-air flight. For 10 points, name this state with capital at Raleigh.

Q: General Herr, who had raised the alarm prior to this battle about the decision to remove all emplaced guns smaller than 75mm, spent most of it in the Caures Woods following the "Trommelfeuer. " Historical debate exists about the veracity of the "Christmas Memo" of Falkenhayn regarding this battle, which saw a heroic stand at Fort Souville. It saw a massive supply operation from Bar-le-Duc along the (*) "Sacred Way," and turned when Robert Nivelle crucially recaptured Fort Douaumont. The Somme offensive was partially launched to relieve this attack, which saw the Germans pushed back to the banks of the Meuse. Lasting nearly a year across 1916, FTP, identify this World War I battle occuring at a site that also names an 843 treaty which divided Charlemagen's empire.

Q: A 2004 paper attempted to derive superconductivity in some materials from the interactions of "small polarons" named for this effect arising from large electron-intermolecular vibration coupling in the presence of an intramolecular vibration. Certain electronic transitions in some species are unexpectedly weakly Laporte-allowed due to this effect, which also provides copper's place as highest on the high-spin Irving-Williams series. This phenomenon predicts the insulating activity of certain metal-doped fullerene species. A radical anion of cyclooctatetraene exhibits this effect. A weaker version of this effect occurs with species like scandium (I), since the t2g set does not point at any ligands. This phenomenon occurs most strongly in high spin d4, low spin d7, and d9 complexes. For 10 points, identify this phenomenon that occurs principally in octahedral geometries to prevent asymmetrically occupied orbitals from having degenerate energy levels by stretching one axis.
