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.
What do we now know this game as?

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.
