As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re diving into a culinary controversy that might just spark some dinnertime debate: Do marshmallows belong on sweet potatoes? We know this question could cause familial friction, but as a news organization committed to tackling the tough topics, we’re wading right in.

Before you start plotting your rebuttal or defense, take a moment to tackle our weekly news quiz. This week’s edition is your last chance to test your knowledge before we take a brief holiday break. Next week, we’ll be enjoying turkey and (possibly marshmallow-topped) sweet potatoes instead of quizzing you.

Dive into our questions, challenge your local news knowledge, and may your Thanksgiving be filled with delicious debates – marshmallows optional.

And congrats to quiz takers John M., Susan M., John C., Richard J., Tom B., Benjamin D., Matthew T., Barbara H., Marge C., James S., Sal N., Allen P., Thomas C. and Carla S. for scoring 100% on last week’s quiz.
