2). True and false. I was invited to sing "He was despised" from Handel's Messiah, but considering it was a religious venue, and one that doesn't believe in applauding religious music, I did not receive a standing ovation.

3). False.
4). False. I did the painting, and it was displayed, but there was no art competition.
