*Question 8.
This is the synopsis of a parody novel whose name can be
derived by reversing the position of two words in the
original title:
“X is young and beautiful. Her scales have an iridescent sheen, her wings arch
proudly, her breath has a tang of sulphur. But when X is drawn into a dark
conspiracy, she will have to rely on more than her beauty and her vicious
claws the size of sabres. As X delves deeper into the history of her species, will
she realize that her kind will do anything to defend their secrets.”
The lead protagonist X’s name can be derived by changing the
surname of the original character with the name of an
amphibian believed to be one of the reasons for the origin of
the mythology surrounding the species of X.
Name the book and identify X. (2)

In 1856, four years before he was elected president, Abraham
Lincoln addressed the Republican State Convention of Illinois.
In the speech, he reportedly said, “The X is stronger than the Y.“
It turned out to be eerily prophetic and ironic as Lincoln was
shot dead on April 14th 1865, five months after being elected
to a second term.
The first recorded use of Xs was in ancient Greece where
citizens used pieces of broken pottery to scratch in people’s
names in processes of ostracism.
The term Y is derived from the French word for “little ball”.

Xs are investors that acquire distressed firms in the hopes of

buy these firms at a much lower price. Then they attempt to
increase efficiency in order to turn the company around. Lastly,
they sell any equity they own, making a profit.
