Well, at least I passed, but just barely. I knew the Chinese Gooseberries and the black box answers. I knew the King George VI answer only because I've seen 'The King's Speech.'

I was just informed and I verified it. Number 9 is incorrect. Although Chinese gooseberry is another name for kiwi fruit, it did originate in China.

You didn't ask where they originated. You ask where they're from. Therefore, anywhere they are grown is where they are from.

As for "The King's Speech," look for it on your bit torrent program.
