the output does not display right

When I am testing the ranking it does not seem to display correct. What is the problem?

/* in the beginning 0 of them are correct*/
var  correct = 0;


/*ask the questions*/

var questionOne = prompt("What is a snake?");
if (questionOne.toUpperCase() === "PYTHON") {
 correct += 1;
}



var questionTwo = prompt("What is a gem?");
if (questionOne.toUpperCase() === "RUBY") {
  correct += 1;
}



var questionThree = prompt("What is first language?");
if (questionOne.toUpperCase() === "HTML") {
  correct += 1;
}




var questionFour = prompt("What is second language?");
if (questionOne.toUpperCase() === "CSS") {
  correct += 1;
}




var questionFive = prompt("What is third language?");
if (questionOne.toUpperCase()==="JAVASCRIPT") {
  correct += 1;
}




/*Ranking*/

if (correct === 5 ){
    document.write("<p><strong>You have recieved the golden crown</strong></p>");
}

else if(correct >= 3 ){
    document.write("<p><strong>You have recieved the silver crown</strong></p>");
}
else if (correct >= 1){
        document.write("<p><strong>You have recieved the bronze crown</strong></p>");
    }
else {
     document.write("<p><strong>You got squashed</strong></p>");                  
  }

In all your if statements where you check the answers, you are checking against questionOne only (copy/paste error).

if (questionOne.toUpperCase() === "RUBY") {
// should be
if (questionTwo.toUpperCase() === "RUBY") {
