when the economy is healthy but during a severe downturn, demand for these
goods changes as new purchases are deferred.Simple..Identify the everyday

62. Q19.
Originally, X was grey when he made his first appearance way back in 1963,and
was actually meant to stay that way. But this gave rise to a lot a lot of problems
the biggest of them being consistency in print. The printers at that time couldn’t
provide a consistent gray color, so X would often change from gray to black to
other shades of gray from page to page and panel to panel. In order to address
the issue, Stan Lee choose to go with a color that would come off the printing
press with fewer issues, a color that was easy to reproduce
consistently.Interestingly,the grey version of X made a comeback in 1986 with
the advance of better printing technologies even though X is more commonly
identified as being ________ in color. Id X
