6. A trade agreement between the European Union and Canada was signed on October 30, 2016. The name of the agreement is CETA. What do the letters in CETA stand for?

Answer: Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement

The full title of the agreement "Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement" was too long to fit in the answer box, so I removed the "and" from it. The treaty was signed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and directors of EU institutions. The agreement aims to create growth and jobs.

The agreement was nearly cancelled after disagreements from French-speaking Belgians. They finally relented on 27 October 2016, and the agreement was able to go for signing.

8. The US Army and US Navy have a rank name in common, but it means a much higher rank in the Navy than in the Army. Which one is it?

Answer: Captain

A Navy Captain is equivalent to a full Colonel in the Army while the equivalent of an Army Captain is called Lieutenant in the Navy. Due to this discrepancy and the fact that "Captain" is reserved as an address for the vessel's commanding officer, it is customary that an Army Captain traveling on a ship is addressed as Major, one rank higher than his actual status.
