House of Cards 1.3 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Teacher performance standards

The teacher unions strongly disapprove of any bill that has teacher performance standards attached to it but Frank's administration wants them as part of the bill. From the discussions it appears that there will be some compromise on the frequency of evaluation and some leniency for tenured teachers.

Answer: Gaffney, South Carolina

Gaffney is located in the northwestern portion of South Carolina's fifth district. Gaffney is the county seat of Cherokee County. Frank mentions in this episode that he tries to make it down to his district at least once a month.

Answer: She was not wearing her seat belt.

At several points in the episode it is mentioned that the peach water tower, the 'Peachoid,' looked like certain parts of the human anatomy. Frank comments late in the episode that Jessica's seat belt did not save her life but that a guardrail could have. Frank sought to put up billboards about safe driving and to not light up the Peachoid at nighttime.

Answer: Cemetery

Claire seems to have a routine where she runs the same path every day. After she is scolded by the old lady, Claire avoids the cemetery on her next run. Later in the episode Claire is shown leisurely walking through the cemetery.

Answer: Yes and sir

Frank then asks Ed if he understands and not surprisingly Ed says "Yes sir." It seems that Frank has an incredible way of exerting influence over people whether it be through threats, enticements, or argument.

Answer: Tulips

Frank doesn't believe Claire at first when she tells him she planted them because he knows that she does not enjoy gardening. The white tulips are beautiful flowers and when Frank returns to Washington, D.C. he has Ed take some of them to their home there for Claire.

Answer: The Hammer

Zoe describes Tom Hammerschmidt as extremely tough but also a great mentor. During the interview Zoe comments that the newspaper could be doing more to better reflect the modern world and how news is reported.

Answer: Hate

Frank's speech in the church is to help Jessica's parents see that he has humility and to help them realize that even after tragic events they should not hate God or others. He describes that much of our hate is manifested from our lack of understanding why unpleasant events occur.

He encourages his fellow churchgoers to follow the following line from Proverbs: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

Answer: Frank will help him win the fourth district.

One can only imagine that Orrin will be compelled to take Frank's offer and not run against him in the fifth district. Early in the episode Orrin appears in an ad essentially blaming Frank for Jessica's death because Frank fought to keep the Peachoid standing. Frank leaves Orrin telling him that it's always good to have 'friends' on the other side of the aisle.

Answer: She immediately accepts Claire's job offer.

Gillian is very hesitant about accepting the job offer because she knows that half of the employees of Claire's company were just laid off. One of the deciding factors for Gillian accepting the position is that Claire took a human interest in her offering to have her own doctor check her out at no cost to her.
