Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Monday, 11 November 2024
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: James K. Polk
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Monday, 11 November 2024
The president is James K. Polk, whose name amusingly resembles that of the polka dance. This coincidence caused rich amusement because Polk, known for his serious demeanor and strict work ethic, had a wife, Sarah Childress Polk, who maintained a similarly strict atmosphere at the White House. Sarah Polk was known for her devout Presbyterian beliefs, which led her to ban dancing, along with other forms of entertainment she deemed inappropriate, from White House functions. The juxtaposition of President Polk’s name with the lively and spirited polka—a popular dance during his presidency in the mid-19th century—offered a humorous contrast to his and his wife’s austere and solemn lifestyle.
