I can't even figure out what some of these are asking.

Question 5 of the History and Geography section is just "Leonidas, Pausanias, Lysander."

Am I supposed to write about what they have in common? Who they each were? When and where they ruled? Other questions seem to include some form of instruction while being equally short ("Compare Athens with Sparta") but that one and a couple others are just a topic with seemingly no direction at all.

Heh, obvious a cultured man of knowledge (or anyone who watched the movie 300 and read wikipedia) would know that these are major leaders of Sparta

Grant, Sherman, Meade

Churchill, Roosevelt, De Gaulle

It's to filter the cultured elite from the unread plebes.
