8. Q2
• The traditional story concerning the origins of the X is that here the
original image of X at the end of Treta yuga manifested near a banyan tree,
near seashore in the form of an Indranila nilamani or the Blue Jewel. It
was so dazzling that it could grant instant moksha, so the god Dharma or
Yama wanted to hide it in the earth, and was successful. In Dvapara Yuga
King Indradyumna of Malwa wanted to find that mysterious image and to
do so he performed harsh penances to obtain his goal. Vishnu then
instructed him to go to the seashore and find a floating log to make an
image from its trunk
• When this log, radiant with light was seen floating in the sea, Narada told
the king to make three idols out of it and place them in a pavilion.
Indradyumna got Z, to build a magnificent temple to house the idols and X
himself appeared in the guise of a old, frail carpenter to make the idols on
condition that he was to be left undisturbed until he finished the work.
• But just after two weeks, the Queen became very anxious. She took the
carpenter to be dead as no sound came from the temple. Therefore, she
requested the king to open the door. Thus, they went to see the carpenter
at work, due to which the latter abandoned his work.

14. Q4
• A X letter is a letter written, originally to a soldier overseas, by his
wife or girlfriend to inform him their relationship is over, usually
because the author has found another lover.
• While the exact origins of the phrase are unknown, it is commonly
believed to have been coined by Americans during World War II.
Large numbers of American troops were stationed overseas for
many months or years, and as time passed many of their wives or
girlfriends decided to begin a relationship with a new man rather
than to wait for the original one to return.As letters to servicemen
from wives or girlfriends back home would typically contain
affectionate language (such as "Dear Johnny", "My dearest John",
or simply "Darling"), a serviceman receiving a note beginning with a
curt X would instantly be aware of the letter's purpose.
• An old joke goes that an Army private tells his bunkmate that his girl
just wrote him a X letter. The bunkmate asks him, "Well, what did
she say?" The private replies, "That's all she wrote," which has
become a cultural meme in itself.

27. Q8The Story of X and Y or The Trails End
You've read the story of Jesse James
Of how he lived and died;
If you're still in need
Of something to read,
Here's the story of X and Y
Now X and Y are the Barrow gang,
I'm sure you all have read
How they rob and steal
And those who squeal
Are usually found dying or dead.
There's lots of untruths to these write-ups;
They're not so ruthless as that;
Their nature is raw;
They hate all the law
The stool pigeons, spotters, and rats.
They call them cold-blooded killers;
They say they are heartless and mean;
But I say this with pride,
That I once knew Y
When he was honest and upright and clean.
From Irving to West Dallas viaduct
Is known as the Great Divide,
Where the women are kin,
And the men are men,
And they won't "stool" on X and Y.
If they try to act like citizens
And rent them a nice little flat,
About the third night
They're invited to fight
By a sub-gun's rat-tat-tat.
They don't think they're too tough or desperate,
They know that the law always wins;
They've been shot at before,
But they do not ignore
That death is the wages of sin.
Some day they'll go down together;
And they'll bury them side by side;
To few it'll be grief
To the law a relief
But it's death for X and Y.
-- X Parker

36. Q11
• This capital city’s name translates to roughly
“Given by God" in Persian. There have been
several rival proposals as to its specific
etymology. The most reliable and most widely
accepted among these is that the name is a
Persian compound of "garden" + "fair",
translating to "The fair Garden", or Persian
compound of "god" + "given", translating to
"God-given" or "God's gift“.

38. • Baghdad

39. Q12
• The name X is widely believed to be derived from the old
Persian names of the city, Bād-kube, meaning "Wind-
pounded city" referring to a place where wind is strong and
pounding. Indeed, the city is renowned for its fierce winter
snow storms and harsh winds. This is also reflected in the
city's nickname as the "City of Winds". This is a somewhat
ironic, as the city is the capital of a country where the
phrase “Land of Fire” is said to be an ancient cultural
concept that denoted either the entire countrys
geographical land or the metaphysical realm of mortals,
and later became associated with political sovereignty and
cultural symbolism.
• A less probable folk etymology explains the name as
deriving the Old Persian words for "god" and "town",
collectively meaning "God's town" or Baghkuy.
• Among other events, this city will host the 2015 European
games, the 2016 European Grand Prix and one of the
games of the Euro 2020.

42. Q13
• The original name was given by the Spanish sailors that
arrived in the River de la Plata, by the blessings of the
"Santa Maria de los X Y", the "Holy Virgin Mary of the Good
Winds" that gave them the good winds to reach the coast
of what is today the city of X Y. In the first foundation of X
Y, Pedro de Mendoza called the city "Holy Mary of the Fair
Winds", a name chosen by the chaplain of Mendoza's
expedition, a devotee of the Virgin of Buen Ayre.
Mendoza’s settlement soon came under attack by
indigenous people, and was abandoned in 1541.
• For many years, the name was attributed to Sancho del
Campo, who is said to have exclaimed: How fair are the
winds of this land!, as he arrived. But Eduardo Madero, in
1882 after conducting extensive research in Spanish
archives, ultimately concluded that the name was closely
linked with the devotion of the sailors to Our Lady of Buen
Ayre.

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!
When the stars threw down their
spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
And behold a great red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns, and seven
crowns upon his heads. And his tail
drew the third part of the stars of
heaven, and did cast them to the earth.

water monster with reptilian traits. It had poisonous
breath and blood so virulent that even its scent was
deadly. The X was killed by Heracles as the second of

guardian.
