Who among the following never became the President of the United States of America?
  1. a.Herbert Hoover
  2. b.Geraldine Ford
  3. c.Calvin Coolidge
  4. d.James Buchanan

Answer: (B) Geraldine Ford

This is a play on words: Herbert Hoover, Calvin Coolidge and James Buchanan were all genuine US Presidents. "Geraldine Ford", however, is not a real historical figure — the actual 38th US President was Gerald Ford, a man; "Geraldine Ford" as named never existed and so, quite literally, never became President.
