Problem: United States Army:

As a uniformed military service, the Army is part of the Department of the Army, which is one of the three military departments of the Department of Defense. The U.S. Army is headed by a civilian senior appointed civil servant, the Secretary of the Army (SECARMY), and by a chief military officer, the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) who is also a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In the fiscal year 2016, the projected end strength for the Regular Army (USA) was 475,000 soldiers; the Army National Guard (ARNG) had 342,000 soldiers, and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) had 198,000 soldiers; the combined-component strength of the U.S. Army was 1,015,000 soldiers. As a branch of the armed forces, the mission of the U.S. Army is "to fight and win our Nation's wars, by providing prompt, sustained, land dominance, across the full range of military operations and the spectrum of conflict, in support of combatant commanders." The service participates in conflicts worldwide and is the major ground-based offensive and defensive force.

Problem: 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay:

The coverage of the events by the media came under scrutiny during the relay. Chinese media coverage of the torch relay has been distinct in a number of ways from coverage elsewhere. Western reporters in Beijing have described Chinese media coverage as partial and censored (for example when Chinese media did not broadcast Reporters Without Borders' disruption of the torch lighting ceremony), whereas Chinese netizens have in turn accused Western media coverage of being biased. The French newspaper Liberation was criticised by the Chinese State press agency Xinhua for its allegedly biased reporting; Xinhua suggested that Liberation needed "a stinging slap in the face" for having "insulted the Olympic flame" and "supported a handful of saboteurs".

The Chinese State Press said the French newspaper was supporting a handful of what?
---
A: saboteurs

Problem: Russian language:

Russian is notable for its distinction based on palatalization of most of the consonants. While /k/, //, /x/ do have palatalized allophones [k, , x], only /k/ might be considered a phoneme, though it is marginal and generally not considered distinctive (the only native minimal pair which argues for /k/ to be a separate phoneme is " " ([t tkt], 'it weaves')/" " ([tt kot], 'this cat')). Palatalization means that the center of the tongue is raised during and after the articulation of the consonant. In the case of /t/ and /d/, the tongue is raised enough to produce slight frication (affricate sounds). These sounds: /t, d, ts, s, z, n and r/ are dental, that is pronounced with the tip of the tongue against the teeth rather than against the alveolar ridge.

How are 'dental' sounds pronounced?
---
A: with the tip of the tongue against the teeth rather than against the alveolar ridge
