Click on the links of the names of the lodging companies near the beginning of this article to find out the answers. How do you think you did on the quiz?

Apparently, the following brands are either no longer associated with the nine multinational lodging brands; have been repurposed; or they have simply ceased to exist altogether since the version of this article from December of 2019, which reported that 27 brands were added:
