[Answer] The phrase "Let them eat cake" is commonly attributed to whom?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The phrase "Let them eat cake" is commonly attributed to whom?"

...“Let them eat cake” is the most famous quote attributed to Marie-Antoinette, the queen of France during the French Revolution. As the story goes, it was the queen’s response upon being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread. Because cake is more expensive than bread, the anecdote has been cited as an example of Marie-Antoinette’s obliviousness to the conditions and daily lives of ordinary people. This anecdote acquired great symbolic importance in subsequent histories, when pro-revolutionary historians sought to demonstrate the selfishness of the French upper classes at that time.

[Answer] 8. If a situation or a task is particularly unpleasant, it might be described as a "bed of ..."Complete the idiomatic phrase.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "8. If a situation or a task is particularly unpleasant, it might be described as a "bed of ..." Complete the idiomatic phrase."

Nuts and bolts I somehow don't think that a "bed of nails" would be the nicest place to lay down, hence the idiomatic phrase "bed of nails" describes something that would be fairly unpleasant. However, according to physics, someone lying down on a bed of nails might not be harmed at all, provided that their weight was distributed evenly, meaning that the force exerted on the nail would not be strong enough to pierce through the person and harm them. In magician's shows, a typical trick might be to get a volunteer to lie on a bed of nails, while wooden blocks are laid on top of them, and then smashed with a sledge hammer. Sometimes, a bed of nails is even used for meditation purposes in certain parts of Asia.

[Answer] 1. "Koala bears"What is wrong with the phrase above?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. "Koala bears" What is wrong with the phrase above?"

...1. The correct Australian spelling of "Koala" is "Koaaja" 2. Koalas are not bears 3. These animals do not exist 4. The name should never be pluralised Koalas are not from the Ursidae (bear) family of animals. They are, in fact, marsupials (like kangaroos, wallabies and possums), as they carry their young in a pouch. Slightly differently to most marsupials, however, a female koala's pouch opens downwards rather than upwards. The misconception is thought to have arisen from the fact that the first European settlers in Australia in the eighteenth century named newly discovered animals based on what they looked like to them. As such, some people called koalas "sloths" or "monkey bears" as well as just "bears".
