DISCLAIMER
The quiz master has researched all the questions, and has tried to
cross-check almost every info. Any resemblance to questions in other
blogs/pages/quizzes are purely coincidental. But there may be
arguments, and I would like to handle that after the quiz. If there are
any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, ignore as this is not TOEFL
but rather just a quiz. Also forgive the quizmaster for his bad jokes and
puns as he is for giving a good quiz. I am not the God, neither the Boss,
but I am the Quizmaster. So have pity on me and hope this will be a
great quiz.

whole, and deal with a number of their imperfections; enhancing the
tendency of Champagne wines to retain their natural sugar in order to
naturally induce secondary fermentation in the Spring; being a master
at deciding when to bottle these wines in order to capture the bubble.
He also introduced corks (instead of wood), which were fastened to

One story says, the origin of this term was as earlier, when there were a
‘genre’ of movies were being played at local theatres, their posters were
printed in white and another colour to not attract attention like normal
movie posters do. In fact, this is still practiced at some places.
Another story says that when these movie shoots were initiated, they
weren't easy to make. Budget was an issue. So movie makers and producers
had to resort to cheaper ways to develop the black & white reel into a
coloured one. And it is because of this that they had to compromise the
quality of the film and give it a tint of a colour, instead of a proper colour.
There could be one more reason - one that is quite popular for the origin of
the term. It's based on how video stores used to differentiate between these
movies and other movies. The stores would actually sell VCR cassettes in
different coloured packs as opposed to paper bags or normal polythene
packets. What term am I talking about and what’s the genre of these films?

Merrington, who made 1000 bottles of the Queen's brew. The first sold
for $7,686, but the price tag eventually dipped to $75 per bottle. Years
later, Merrington's breweries closed down. What did they name their

22Q.The common custom of placing _(i)_ on envelopes, notes and at the bottom of
letters to mean kisses dates back to the Middle Ages, when a Christian cross was
drawn on documents or letters to mean sincerity, faith, and honesty. A kiss was
then placed upon the cross, by the signer as a display of their sworn oath. It was
also used in early Christian history as much of a display of the same.
Since most of the common people could not read or write, the _(i)_ was placed on
documents, and a kiss was placed over it as a show of their sincerity. The Chi Rho,
often represented with _(i)_ was also used as a holy symbol throughout Christian
history as it represented the Greek word for Christ; this gave rise to the practice of
using _(i)_ , which was then kissed in this tradition of displaying a sacred oath.
There is speculation on the internet from at least one original source that the _(ii)_
is of North American descent: when arriving in the United States, Jewish
immigrants, most of whose first language was Yiddish, would use an _(ii)_ to sign
documents, thus not using the sign of the cross, and shop keepers would often use
an _(ii)_ when signing documents, in place of an _(i)_. What is (i) and (ii) separately

  • 60. 14Q. Which famous work is this book about?
  • 61. 15Q. One story says, the origin of this term was as earlier, when there were a ‘genre’ of movies were being played at local theatres, their posters were printed in white and another colour to not attract attention like normal movie posters do. In fact, this is still practiced at some places. Another story says that when these movie shoots were initiated, they weren't easy to make. Budget was an issue. So movie makers and producers had to resort to cheaper ways to develop the black & white reel into a coloured one. And it is because of this that they had to compromise the quality of the film and give it a tint of a colour, instead of a proper colour. There could be one more reason - one that is quite popular for the origin of the term. It's based on how video stores used to differentiate between these movies and other movies. The stores would actually sell VCR cassettes in different coloured packs as opposed to paper bags or normal polythene packets. What term am I talking about and what’s the genre of these films?

The researchers then teamed up with Scottish brewer Jim Merrington, who made 1000 bottles of the Queen's brew. The first sold for $7,686, but the price tag eventually dipped to $75 per bottle. Years later, Merrington's breweries closed down. What did they name their beer that a curse might have struck them because of it?

The very first recipient of a PATSY was Francis the Talking Mule in 1951, in a ceremony hosted by Ronald Reagan at Hollywood's Carthay Circle Theater. The award later covered both film and television and was separated into four categories: canine, equine, wild and special. In 2011, the American Humane Association started calling the PATSY awards as something else. They said that this award described as, "an unofficial, animal-centric spin on the Oscars." What’s the awards popularly called as taking it’s name from a pun on Oscars?
  • 64. *18Q. Till the end of the first season, Ronald Reagan was shown. Till the end of second season’s episode 6, George Bush Sr. was shown and then Bill Clinton continued till the end of the season. What am I talking about or where could you see this changes?

The halter is attached to a band situated immediately under the breasts. The dress fits closely from there to the natural waistline.

One story says, the origin of this term was as earlier, when there were a ‘genre’ of movies were being played at local theatres, their posters were printed in white and another colour to not attract attention like normal movie posters do. In fact, this is still practiced at some places. Another story says that when these movie shoots were initiated, they weren't easy to make. Budget was an issue. So movie makers and producers had to resort to cheaper ways to develop the black & white reel into a coloured one. And it is because of this that they had to compromise the quality of the film and give it a tint of a colour, instead of a proper colour. There could be one more reason - one that is quite popular for the origin of the term. It's based on how video stores used to differentiate between these movies and other movies. The stores would actually sell VCR cassettes in different coloured packs as opposed to paper bags or normal polythene packets. What term am I talking about and what’s the genre of these films?

  • 103. 22Q.The common custom of placing _(i)_ on envelopes, notes and at the bottom of letters to mean kisses dates back to the Middle Ages, when a Christian cross was drawn on documents or letters to mean sincerity, faith, and honesty. A kiss was then placed upon the cross, by the signer as a display of their sworn oath. It was also used in early Christian history as much of a display of the same. Since most of the common people could not read or write, the _(i)_ was placed on documents, and a kiss was placed over it as a show of their sincerity. The Chi Rho, often represented with _(i)_ was also used as a holy symbol throughout Christian history as it represented the Greek word for Christ; this gave rise to the practice of using _(i)_ , which was then kissed in this tradition of displaying a sacred oath. There is speculation on the internet from at least one original source that the _(ii)_ is of North American descent: when arriving in the United States, Jewish immigrants, most of whose first language was Yiddish, would use an _(ii)_ to sign documents, thus not using the sign of the cross, and shop keepers would often use an _(ii)_ when signing documents, in place of an _(i)_.
