I marked myself wrong since it wasn't the given answer but wouldn't hors d'oeuvres also work for Q7?

The Clinton Human Genome announcement seems to be from the 2000 ceremony with Craig Venter, Francis Collins and Tony Blair announcing the "first draft human genome".

Incorrect answer.

Entree is the name for the main course, not the appetizer, which is Amuse-bouche, which I have never heard used.

Andre, entree is the main course in American English, not in France. The history of it is quite interesting. Its meaning has changes quite a bit over the years and in the 20th century in France (and most of the rest of the world) it came to mean the first course of a meal.

Mike, I believe that hors d'oeuvres in France is a separate snack before the meal itself, although I could be wrong about that.

Matt/Chuck, sorry about that. The Human Genome Project was completed in 2003 and I think the clip I found said 2003 too, but you are quite right.
