Final Jeopardy! Round responses

WORLD HISTORY
[Music ends; Eva keeps writing]
(Alex: Pens down. No, put 'em down. That's all right, I'm going to ask you a question in a moment, Eva, because I noticed that you had a problem, and, uh, you corrected it on your screen, and in doing that, you caused another problem. We're going to start with you. You were in third place going into this round. You had $1700. So, we're going to do this in a reverse manner: you tell me how much you wagered.)
(Eva: I wagered $1500.)
(Alex: $1500. Is that absolutely right? I'll verify it with our judges, who saw the wager during the commercial break. Let's see now, if you had the correct Final Jeopardy! question.)
