c. a disdain for accordion music
d. an intense love and admiration for the English
e. being too afraid to fight

l. non-judgmental acceptance of unmarried teen pregnancy--especially within their families
m. being strongly in favor of stringent gun control
n. unwavering support for the Crimson Tide

If you don't know the answer to this one, you'd better learn, and fast. Also, you'd better pronounce "Hebert" as "A-Bear".
