1. Philadelphia is rich in history, but it is not now the capital of the United States, so the U.S. Congress must meet somewhere else.

3. I know that my wife is at home, since I just called her there and spoke to her. We talked about our dinner plans.
4. I'm not sure, but Joseph is probably Jewish. Hence, he is a rabbi if he is a member of the clergy.
