Check the Nelson Mandela question - there's an extra 'l' in his name, and a minor word-order issue. Very fun quiz, though, as usual! :)

Some capitalization issues: Love, Cross. Crisis. War. There should be a comma after university and after the blank.

It's still "for in ___ South Africa," Disney World is (at least) two words, Nazi should be capitalized, and I think you forgot a couple of commas here and there. I love this kind of quiz, though.
