NPR's weekly news quiz references Jill Biden, the pope's AI encyclical, and other recent events

NPR's recurring weekly news quiz, written by Holly J. Morris, was published on May 29, 2026, drawing on a range of news events from the preceding week as source material for its questions.

The article's accompanying imagery features Jill Biden, Jeff Bezos, and a Roland Garros tennis photograph, suggesting the quiz covers topics ranging from the former first lady to business news and sports. The question about a first lady fearing her husband might be having a stroke appears to reference reporting about Jill Biden and former President Joe Biden, though the article itself — structured as a quiz — does not provide direct factual elaboration on the underlying event.

Also referenced in the quiz is Pope Leo XIV's first papal encyclical, which addressed artificial intelligence. NPR noted that Google Gemini described the document as "historic and highly ambitious" and "an aggressive, uncompromising critique." The encyclical was separately covered by NPR under the headline "Pope Leo's first encyclical will address AI and 'magnificent humanity.'"
