Question 2
Kermit Schafer, an American writer and producer for radio and television
active during the years of 1950s and 1960s, is widely attributed to
popularizing the usage of the term ‘X’ in mainstream media. Schafer was
known for producing record albums going by the name of “Pardon My X”,
featuring a collection of actual clips from various television/radio
broadcasts. It is often stated that a particular incident from the 1930s, when
radio broadcaster Harry Von Zell accidentally mispronounced the name of
the then US President Herbert Hoover as Hoobert Heever, is said to have
inspired Schafer to start his collection of ‘X’, thus establishing it as a routine
word used to refer to such situations.
ID the term ‘X’.

Question 3
In the early 19th century, there were no standardised uniform for enlisted
men in the U.S. Navy. Hence, some sailors adopted a particular style of
clothing which proved to be very helpful. In the event of a sailor falling
overboard or having to abandon ship without a life vest, it could be quickly
removed in water without having to remove footwear.
In the 1970s, Sonny and Cher helped popularize this clothing in the US by
wearing them on their popular television show. With the onset of a
spectrum of revivalist fashion trends as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
this type of clothing was revived as Gen Z preferred comfortable clothes
over tight clothing to achieve petite silhouette.

Question 4
‘X’ is a device used to get infantry closer to the front lines of a battle zone
safely. They were used by multiple combatants during World War II. The
United States Army trialed X’s during the World War II Battle of Anzio. A
general commander of the 3rd Infantry Division ordered torpedoes
(submarines) to be cut in half for the purpose. Six torpedo halves, each
carrying one prone infantryman, were then chained together into a unit to
be transported to the front.
These were disliked by the infantrymen, who "felt like dead ducks" in them.
Their use was also sometimes impeded by rough ground.

Question 5*
The top three U.S. burger chains have denied consumers the opportunity to
enjoy their burgers the optimal way due to exclusivity deals. Brand X
launched a proactive campaign by working with an origami artist to expertly
re-craft paper bags of the top three U.S. burger chains. X might not be on
the menu but it’s always in the picture.
Launched on National Burger Day, the images were strategically placed
outside the headquarters and stores of U.S. burger chains, and also in The
New York Post and across social media; lauded by the industry as one of the
best X campaigns in the history of the brand.

Question 6
Earlier used only in the context of boasting, people nowadays use the slang
X (or to make things easier, throw in the emoji) to simply call out someone
on their bluff. A mainstay of the “hood” lingo, the term can be seen in
almost every major rap song over the past few years. A few lyrics from
Future and Young Thug’s collaboration in 2017 shows the slang in action:
“Yellow diamonds like banana, that's ________
Put some dirty in Mello Yello, ________
Rocking Maison Margiela's, that's __________
Red bitch, Cinderella _____________”
ID the term.

Question 7
Hussein Chalayan's interest in the relationship between the human body and
science has led to some of the most inventive runway shows ever. For his
autumn/winter 2000 fashion show "After Words", models transformed
_______ into dresses and hopped skirts. The event went beyond fashion,
becoming a breathtaking physical theatre in its own right.
Chalayan’s intention wasn’t to simply make a theatrical flourish but to
investigate the concept of displacement, since the show was inspired by
war refugees forced to leave their homes and carry their personal
possessions with them.

Question 8
Some scholars argue that the art of X has been around since the ancient
Egyptians while other evidence points towards ancient Greek culture. This
tradition began as a sign of respect and obedience to the gods. Later, the
Greeks started finding reasons to practice this action—war, peace, fallen
soldiers, women worth courting, and most commonly, a companion's
health. Though one might have heard that this tradition originated out of a
fear of poisoning- the idea being that the action involved would cause the
liquid from jugs to spill into one another; thus, the people you’re drinking
with wouldn’t poison you as they’d then be poisoning themselves, there is
no historical backing. Infact X itself wasn't a term until 16th century but the
addition of it to ____ within a jug was supposed to soak up some of the
acidity and improve its flavour.
ID the practice/tradition X.

Question 9
The physical act of _____ used to signify contempt in olden times. In
Tobias Smollett's The Adventures of Roderick Random, published in 1748, an
altercation is worded as follows:
"He looked back and pronounced with a faltering voice, 'O! 'tis very
well—damn my blood! I shall find a time.' I signified my contempt of him by
_____, which humbled him so much, that he scarce swore another oath
aloud during the whole journey."

Question 10*
Flirting was a great art throughout many eras as this required subtlety from
both genders. In the 1800s, women, started using Xs to give the following
signals:
1.Drawing it across the cheek — I love you.
2.Drawing it across the lips — Desiring an acquaintance.
3.Dropping it — We will be friends.
4.Folding it — I wish to speak with you.
5.Opposite corners in both hands — Do wait for me.
6.Twisting it in the right hand — I love another.
7.Winding it around the third finger — I am married.

Question 11
X was chosen as word of the year for 2023 by Dictionary.com, which is
chosen on basis of words in popular usage in the year. Before 2023, it had a
very generic meaning but as AI is evolving every minute, they added
different meaning to it which says- "to produce false information contrary
to the intent of user and present it as true/factual". X seemed a fitting term
as the rate at which the technology is growing, it seems like we are
experiencing X where AI can also produce its own fictitious world.

See how the speckled sky burns like a pigeon’s throat, Jeweled with embers
of opal and peridot.
See the white river that flashes and scintillates, Curved like a tusk from the
mouth of the city-gates.
Hark, from the minaret, how the muezzin’s call, Floats like a battle-flag over
the city wall.
From trellised balconies, languid and luminous Faces gleam, veiled in a
splendor voluminous.

Question 13
In the battles of the early 1800's Napoleon's army was on the verge of
losing. One of the prime reasons for this was soldiers giving away their
positions in the night while trying to read war messages using lamps.
Therefore, a need to come up with a method to read such messages in the
dark without giving away the position was sensed.
A certain individual ‘X’ who was an inventor and a military veteran of the
French Army came up with a unique solution called "Night Writing" to help
the soldiers read war messages in the dark. Taking inspiration from this
system, ‘Y’ developed it further into the modern form as we know today.

Question 17
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew recently testified before Congress on why the
app shouldn't be banned in the U.S. amid national security fears, that it is
potentially providing the Chinese Communist Party with data on millions of
Americans, including their whereabouts, and increasing their access to
disinformation.
In a five hour grilling session, he explains how TikTok would never provide
data to the CCP if asked. He cited his family life as a reason why data
protection is so important, especially for children. However, when asked if
his own children use TikTok, he denied and cited a rather technical reason
that doesn't allow his children to use TikTok.

Question 18
The contemporary meaning of this word seems to date back to mid-19th
century. Back in those days circus shows were very common and popular
among the town folk and every time before a show in a particular town, the
circus ____(4) would travel around the town in their _____(5), attracting
the attention of the townsfolk. This as per them was a well-established way
of advertising and crowd pulling. Politicians back then believed that joining
such a group and parading through the town would in-turn help carry out a
successful campaign and thus shift the tide in their favor.

Question 19
The Tour De France (annual men's cycling race held in France) competition
during the 1920s saw its cyclists develop a very unusual practice of
consuming a particular item before the start of a race. This practice was
even more prevalent in cyclists who encountered a steep climb while racing
and seems to be associated with a potential increase in _____ (4)
________(8) and an ultimate addition to the endurance of the cyclist thus
enabling them to perform more efficiently or as was the popular opinion
among the common folk around that time. But over the following decades,
this practice receded and was eventually stopped after numerous research
reports stated the actual impact of the consumption of a ‘X’ on our body.
Identify what they consumed.

Question 20*
During World War II, members of the Royal Air Force (RAF) wore uniforms
with a clever and potentially life saving feature. This innovative feature was
an ingenious addition to the uniform providing a practical means of
navigation for RAF soldier in case they were shot down behind enemy lines.
If an RAF member found themselves in dire situation (unknown territory)
they could use this feature having made as 2 different kinds in order to
create a makeshift X. Further, floating it in a still pool of water like a tin lid
filled with water, they could determine cardinal directions, allowing them to
find their way and evade capture.

popularizing the usage of the term ‘X’ in mainstream media. Schafer was
known for producing record albums going by the name of “Pardon My X”,
featuring a collection of actual clips from various television/radio
broadcasts. It is often stated that a particular incident from the 1930s, when
radio broadcaster Harry Von Zell accidentally mispronounced the name of
the then US President Herbert Hoover as Hoobert Heever, is said to have
inspired Schafer to start his collection of ‘X’, thus establishing it as a routine
word used to refer to such situations.

Question 3
In the early 19th century, there were no standardised uniform for enlisted
men in the U.S. Navy. Hence, some sailors adopted a particular style of
clothing which proved to be very helpful. In the event of a sailor falling
overboard or having to abandon ship without a life vest, it could be quickly
removed in water without having to remove footwear.
In the 1970s, Sonny and Cher helped popularize this clothing in the US by
wearing them on their popular television show. With the onset of a
spectrum of revivalist fashion trends as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
this type of clothing was revived as Gen Z preferred comfortable clothes
over tight clothing to achieve petite silhouette.

‘X’ is a device used to get infantry closer to the front lines of a battle zone
safely. They were used by multiple combatants during World War II. The
United States Army trialed X’s during the World War II Battle of Anzio. A
general commander of the 3rd Infantry Division ordered torpedoes
(submarines) to be cut in half for the purpose. Six torpedo halves, each
carrying one prone infantryman, were then chained together into a unit to
be transported to the front.
These were disliked by the infantrymen, who "felt like dead ducks" in them.
Their use was also sometimes impeded by rough ground.

Some scholars argue that the art of X has been around since the ancient

tradition began as a sign of respect and obedience to the gods. Later, the
Greeks started finding reasons to practice this action—war, peace, fallen
soldiers, women worth courting, and most commonly, a companion's
health. Though one might have heard that this tradition originated out of a
fear of poisoning- the idea being that the action involved would cause the
liquid from jugs to spill into one another; thus, the people you’re drinking
with wouldn’t poison you as they’d then be poisoning themselves, there is
no historical backing. Infact X itself wasn't a term until 16th century but the

In the battles of the early 1800's Napoleon's army was on the verge of

Therefore, a need to come up with a method to read such messages in the
dark without giving away the position was sensed.

French Army came up with a unique solution called "Night Writing" to help
the soldiers read war messages in the dark. Taking inspiration from this
system, ‘Y’ developed it further into the modern form as we know today.

Question 1
In some Jewish beliefs, people of priestly lineage are forbidden from being
under the same roof as a X, as it would contaminate them with negative
energies. Due to an unusual interpretation of this rule, around 1,500
‘priestly’ families are unable to use the London metro system. This is
because the South Kensington station is connected to a Y, which contains a
type of X on display. And since the metro system is entirely underground,
entering any metro station would be considered being in the presence of a
X.
Despite requests from these families, local governments refuse to sever the
connection between the station and the Y, as they believe easy access to
scientific knowledge is of greater importance.

During the mid 1990s when TATA Motors was flourishing in the automobile
sector, an individual named Sumant Moolgaonkar was one of the brains
behind the company's’ success, often known as architect of TATA Motors.
Being the chief executive of Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company
(TELCO), Sumant was always inclined towards a progress for the better
approach for the company. This saw him frequently skipping his lunch with
the top brass of the company and instead visiting highway dhabas to have
lunch with truck drivers (who drove TATA Trucks) and at the same time get
a real time feedback from them about their vehicles. He then later passed
on this information collectively to their R&D team helping the company to
improvise on their product in an overall sense. When his co-workers got to
know about this, the team decided to pay homage to Sumant.

Which region did Napier conquer? Put funda
Answer
“Peccavi” is the past tense in Latin for “to sin”, and can be translated
as “I have sinned”. Or more accurately, “I have Sindh.”
The pun has gone down in history as a clever line from Napier, but
it’s a misattribution. 16 year old Catherine Winkworth sent the
one-word line into the humor magazine ‘Punch’ and it was published
on 18 May 1844.

Question 4
For millennia, the planets visible to the naked eye—Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, and Saturn—filled out the solar system along with the Sun, the
Moon, and Earth.
Later, the scientific revolution primarily the Kepler’s Laws of Planetary
Motion led scientists in estimating the orbits and later the discovery of the
“invisible” planets Uranus and Neptune in the 19th century. However, this
also led scientists to believe that there was at least one more planet lurking
around the Sun, and this one was even closer: the planet Vulcan believed to
orbit somewhere between Mercury and the Sun due to a slight wobble in
Mercury’s orbit.

Question 8
Dr. Martin Luther King Jrs “I have a dream speech” is one of the most
famous addresses in world history. However, this speech and many other
addresses of his have remained off screen in the past few years.
In 2014’s Selma too, which is one major biopic about Martin Luther King
that was directed by Ava DuVernay, original monologues that sounded like
instances from his speech were used. For example, in the original speech,
King says, “Who murdered Jimmie Lee Jackson?”. But in the movie, instead
of the historical quote, King asks,”Who killed them?”. When DuVernay was
asked about these changes that were made, he, like many other filmmakers,
pointed to a nasty move by Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks in 2009.

The origin of the word ‘X’ becomes very intriguing when one looks upon its
meaning in the contemporary world. The word originates from a 17th
century English trading game which involved 2 players and an umpire. The
players would present two possessions they would like to trade. The umpire
would then decide whether they were of equal value or not. Then the
owner of the lesser valued object would need to make up the difference
with the money and all 3 participants would place some forfeit money into a
cap. Now, if the 2 players agreed with the umpire’s valuation, they would
remove their hands from the cap with their palm open or else as a clenched
fist. Initially known as a three-word game over time, it came to be known as
a single word ‘X’.
