Question 1:
What field of work was shared by the parents of the man with the middle name Gamaliel, who served as a U.S. Senator from 1915-1921? Answer: medicine.


Okay, the first thing we need to do is find who has that middle name before we find what his parents did for a living. Type Gamaliel U.S. Senator 1915-1921 into the search field. The answer is the 29th President of the United States, Warren G. Harding. Using Wikipedia to look at his biography you can look at his parents profession for the answers.
