That's a tough quiz! I always struggle with remembering specific details like which port was first. Environmental regulations in shipping are so important though. I should probably spend more time focusing on these topics. When I need a brain break after studying, I sometimes play Slope Game to de-stress – it's surprisingly engaging and requires focus, just in a different way. Helps clear my head!
