7. 2) The X method is based upon a single set of curves which is used
to make all adjustments to the scores. The Y method has two
different curves: the "normal curves", which are used to adjust
____ already scored, and the "target curve", which is used to
adjust the ____ that are yet to be scored.
Y’s justification for this is that the team may not be fully aware
of the ‘resources’ that it can use and may have to change tactics
mid way and that if the tactics are inherently different, the
curves used to calculate the _____ target should also be
different.
The X method is more widely used than the Y method.
X,Y yaru?
10. 3) Shivnaraine Chanderpaul has
sealed a place for himself in
International cricket by
accomplishing a ‘feat’ that, now,
can’t be equaled by anyone.
Entha ‘feat’?
11.
12. Most runs using a
runner in
International cricket
(ICC banned the use
of runners from
April 2012)
13. 4) The X consists of three layers. The upper and
lower layers contain kite and triangular pieces.
There are all together 8 kite and 8 triangular
pieces. The kite pieces are 60 degrees wide,
while the triangular pieces are 30 degrees wide,
relative to the center of the layer.
The middle layer contains two trapezoid pieces,
which together may form an irregular hexagon or
a square.
X Enna?
22. 7) X is 1963 CinemaScope British film, directed by Mark
Robson, and based on a 1962 book by Stanley Wolpert of
the same name. It stars Horst Buchholz, Diane Baker, Jose
Ferrer, and Robert Morley.
The film is a fictional narrative set in the last few hours of Y’s
life that lead up to his assassination of Z. As he prepares for
the shooting at Z's residence, flashbacks recall Y's troubled
life of violence with Muslims, his problems with his family,
and his involvement with two women.
X was also the first motion picture depiction of Z.
X enna? Y,Z yaru?
25. 8) X’s Y is a metaphor for a dramatic principle concerning
simplicity and foreshadowing. It suggests that if one
shows a loaded Y on stage in the first act of a play, it
should be used in a later act; otherwise, the Y should not
be shown in the first place.
The primary point of X's advice was to caution against
including unnecessary elements in a story or its staging.
Failure to observe the rule of X’s Y may be cited by critics
when discussing plot holes. The deliberate defiance of
this principle may take the form of a red herring.
X’s Y enna?
74. 1) Five Deadly _____ is
a cult 1978 Hong Kong martial
arts film directed by Chang
Cheh, starring the ______ Mob,
and produced by the Shaw
Brothers Studio, about five
kung‐fu fighters with unique
animal styles: The Centipede,
The Snake, The Scorpion,
The Lizard and The Toad.
What did the name of the
‘mob’ from this film directly
inspire?
116. 15)
X has claimed that his portrayal of Y in _____ may
have benefited Z in his campaign. X said that Y has
‘helped open the eyes of the American people’
and has ‘made viewers more comfortable with the
idea of Z as a capable leader’. This influence on
the public is also termed the ‘Y effect’. X is
sometimes even mistaken for Z .
So gimme X,Y,Z.
