Question 1 Think Simble

There is a well-known myth about the word X, which says that in

1791 a Dublin theater owner named James Daly made a bet that

he could introduce a word into the language within 24 hours.

He then went out and hired a group of street urchins to write

the word X, which was a nonsense word, on walls around thecity of Dublin. Within a day, the word was common currency and

had acquired a meaning (since no one knew what it meant,

everyone thought it was some sort oftest) and Daly had some

extra cash in his pocket. However, there is no evidence to support the story, and the term

was already in use before the alleged bet in 1791.

It is was also used as an 18th century nick-name for "yo-yo" in

England. What is X?

Question 12

Known as Moksha Patam, the game was popular in ancient India

and emphasized the role of fate or karma.

Moksha Patam was associated with traditional Hindu philosophy

contrasting karma and kama, or destiny and desire. The game has

also been interpreted and used as a tool for teaching the effects ofgood deeds versus bad. The X represented virtues such as

generosity, faith, and humility, while the Y represented vices such

as lust, anger, murder, and theft.

The morality lesson of the game was that a person can attain

salvation (Moksha) through doing good, whereas by doing evil one

will inherit rebirth to lower forms of life.

describe the area of land between two enemy trenches to which

Question 16

When Barry Fairbrother dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little

town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English

idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what

lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor,

teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with theirhusbands, teachers at war with their pupilsPagford is not what it

first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council

soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet

seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion,

duplicity and unexpected revelations? This is the plot of a certain authors first attempt at a book for

adults.

Who is this extremely famous author?

Question 18

The two visuals, the live animal and the stuffed animal, are really a

dichotomy, or a separation of two parts of one thing. When Y is an

anthropomorphic toy in one panel and alive in the next, Im

juxtaposing the grown up version of reality with Xs version, and

inviting the reader to decide which is truer, said Mr Bill. So what does it all mean? Basically, Y is 100% real when hes seen

from Xs perspective, and 100% unreal when seen from someone

elses. So rather than Y just being imaginary, there is no real

definition of his reality.

What is being spoken about?

Or give us X and Y.
