3. Q.2
In 2006, the citizens of X organized a vote to change the name of the town to X Y.
Although the yes vote won, the referendum failed due to lack of voters and X
kept its traditional name. Y is often supposed to draw from Z’s childhood
town, X. Y was the name of a banana plantation near X, and means "banana" in
the Bantu language. Identify X, Y and Z.
4. Q.3
When asked by one of the characters in the book "how would you
translate X," the narrator replies:
"X should be described as a journey, long or short, without an end; the
only thing regulating it being the necessity of getting back within a given
time to the point from which one started. Sometimes it is through busy
streets, and sometimes through the fields and lanes; sometimes we can
be spared for a few hours, and sometimes for a few days. But long or
short, but here or there, our thoughts are ever on the running of the
sand. We nod and smile to many as we pass; with some we stop and talk
awhile; and with a few we walk a little way. We have been much
interested, and often a little tired. But on the whole we have had a
pleasant time, and are sorry when it's over."
What is X or the book?
