the king (or queen, as it were) of X’s breath was the sound of air escaping
a whale’s blowhole. Rydstrom even used his tiny Jack Russell terrier,
Buster, to create the sound of a hungry X killing a fleeing Gallimimus.

slovenly woman”).

that he does,” he told ESPN in 2016. “I had the luck to see him every day and I saw what he was doing
everyday. Like I said before, it’s like playing PlayStation: You give the ball to the guy and you start to
go through every player and that’s who Messi is.”

Question 1.
X is a professional competitive sport, with Y being its integral part.
Y may have its origins in the cross-section of a tree. An old name for a Y is "butt", which comes from a French word
'but'.Created by Bury showman, Brian Gamlin, for the late 19th-century fairground and circus circuit, the Y placed low-
scoring and high-scoring sections close to one another to increase the difficulty for the punters.
Gamlin’s Y proved so popular that the game soon made its way into public houses and taverns, where it’s still enjoyed
to this day. And thanks to flashy nicknames for the professionals and hyperbolic announcers (coupled with free-
pouring beer), X is now one of the UK’s most popular spectator sports.
And without Gamlin’s intervention, X would probably still be consigned to fairgrounds and travelling circuses.
Id X and Y.

Answer 1.
X = Darts
Y = Dartboard

Question 3.
Xism is a purported religion inspired by the motion picture X.The adherents claim
belief in a multilayered subjective reality and await the return of their prophet.
Xism, also referred to as "The path of the One," was primarily introduced in 2004.
Xism is inspired by the X and its associated stories . However, these stories are
not the sole foundation. The ideals of Xism can be traced back to the early 20th
century to The Promulgation of Universal Peace, the record of talks by `Abdu'l-
Bahá during his `Abdu'l-Bahá's journeys to the West in the United States.
Xism carries with it four main beliefs that are described as "The Four Tenets of
Xism". Briefly these are: belief in a messianic prophecy, use of psychedelic drugs
as sacrament, a perception of reality as multi-layered and semi-subjective, and
adherence to the principles of at least one of the world's major religions.

Question 8.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce credits E.M. Stuart, its volunteer president in 1953, with
the original idea for creating a _________. Stuart reportedly proposed the ________ as a means to
"maintain the glory of a community whose name means glamor and excitement in the four
corners of the world."
In February 1956 a prototype was unveiled featuring a caricature of an example honoree (John
Wayne, by some accounts) inside a blue star on a brown background. However, caricatures
proved too expensive and difficult to execute in brass with the technology available at the time;
and the brown and blue motif was vetoed by Charles E. Toberman, the legendary real estate
developer known as "Mr. Hollywood", because the colors clashed with a new building he was
erecting on Hollywood Boulevard.
The Hollywood __________________ comprises of 15 blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three
blocks of Vine Street in Hollywood, California.

QUESTION 1.
The following is an excerpt of the interview of Laura & Mario (both stage names) who have currently been reigning over the
internet. Laura & Mario are both models who worked with 45-year-old professional photographer Antonio Guillem from
Barcelona.
Laura: First of all, I’m the “girlfriend,” ahah. For me, it was a curious and funny photo shoot, especially when we had to make
the photos. When people saw us simulate those scenes in the street, they stopped to look and laugh, and in my case, that I
had to have a more serious face, I had a hard time to keeping it, ahaha.
Mario: I remember that it was kinda embarrassing because there were people watching and laughing, and I had to make this
silly face. But in the end, like we always do, I just forgot they were there and did my job. I remember it like a learning
experience, and I had fun with my team.
How do you better know their work?

Question 2.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first person to use X was a 75-year-old
British admiral, His name was John Arbuthnot "Jacky" Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher of
Kilverstone, and he coined the term while writing his memoirs ... in 1917. A 100 years
ago.
The exact phrase was:
"I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapia -- X -- Shower it on the Admiralty!"
(his subtle way of hinting that he hoped to be knighted).
However, when you think about it, it makes perfect sense that someone in the navy
would create something like this: In the days before VHF and single-sideband radio,
ships' primary form of communication was Morse code -- a system that, like early texting,
required each letter to be painfully spelled out. Id X.

Question 3.

flying catch by Ricky Ponting in IPL of

widespread famine. Drought, poor weather, and the policies of ruler Mao Zedong
contributed to the famine although the relative weights of the contributions are disputed
due to the Great Leap Forward.
According to government statistics, there were 15 million excess deaths in this period.
However, the Chinese government at this time was taken over by market reformers who
were strongly opposed to the Great Leap Forward.
One of the major reasons that is said to have contributed to the famine were the
blooming of crop eating insects. What was the reason for this sudden bloom in crop
eating insects?

Answer 4.
Great Sparrow Campaign ( Killing of
Sparrows and other wild birds)

Question 5.
A milestone in the history of X occurred in 1981 when twelve friends played a version of "Capture the
Flag" using the tree-marking guns. They decided to buy into a tree marking gun manufacturer called
Nelson and started promoting and selling the guns to the public for use with the new recreational
sport.
And now X is a well developed sport in which games can be played on both indoor and outdoor fields
of varying sizes.
Game types in X vary, but can include capture the flag, elimination, ammunition limits, etc.
The Sports Authority of India is yet to issue standard rules to regulate this sport. However, several
mishaps have been related to X generally because of ill-trained staff, use of fake or low quality

good marijuana.

Question 8.
Y was an American musician, artist, singer, songwriter, guitarist and
poet. Born in Aberdeen, Washington
His band was labeled "the flagship band" of Generation X, and Y hailed
as "the spokesman of a generation". Y, however, was often
uncomfortable and frustrated with that label.
In a 1993 interview with The Advocate, Y claimed that he was "gay in
spirit" and "probably could be bisexual". He also stated that he used to
