2The difference between these two type of birds, X and Y, is rather vague and many trained bird
watchers have difficulty distinguishing between them. The difference depends more on
appearance than biology. The word X comes from a French word that means ‘Silver Y’, lending to
further confusion. Some common differences are,
● X are commonly pure white in colour, but Y exhibit various colours.
● Y have a nice and clean flight, but X do not.
● X have significantly black legs and yellow beak, which is not very common among Y.
Identify X and Y.

3In mathematics, quaternions are a number system that extend complex numbers. They
were first described by this Irish mathematician, who supposedly discovered the

walking on.

4Blythe Masters is an economist and former executive at JPMorgan Chase. In 1994, J.P.
Morgan had extended a $4.8 billion credit line to X, which faced the threat of $5
billion in punitive damages.
A team of J.P. Morgan bankers led by Masters then purchased credit protection against
the credit line to the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development to cut the
capital which J.P. Morgan was required to hold against X's default, thus reducing its
own risk. J.P. Morgan later bundled together packages of such exposures and offered
them to market, thus creating a new financial instrument.
What financial instrument? Why did X face a threat of $5 billion in damages?

5Once while this show was filming in Georgetown at about three o'clock in the
morning, an irate lady reportedly came out in a bathrobe with a bunch of guys. She
said: “What the hell's going on? I have an early morning at the State Department. And,
by the way, you people don't even have a Secretary of State on your show. And I think
you should have one and it should be a woman.”

14X Castle was the inspiration for the Y mansion
from the 1941 Orson Welles film Citizen Kane, a
fictionalization of X's career. It was not used as a
location for the film, which used Oheka Castle in
New York, as well as buildings in San Diego's
Balboa Park.
Commercial filming is rare and most requests are
turned down. Since the property was donated to
the state of California only two projects have been
granted permission: Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus,
which used it to stand in as Crassus’ villa; and Lady
Gaga's music video for “G.U.Y.”

15This discrepancy arises from the fact that in Medieval England, most of the peasants
were English speaking and commonly used words of Germanic origin. However, most
of the aristocracy, either spoke French or expressed strong admiration for French
culture. While the peasants performed most of the labour, they were hardly rich
enough to afford nutritious meals and persisted largely on a diet of bread and
vegetables. The aristocracy could afford to spend on better meals and had a much
more varied diet. What discrepancy did this lead to?

16Prior to its closure in 1998, this was considered one
of the most technically challenging airports for
pilots. Runway 13, which was the only functional
runway when the airport was shut down was
considered particularly dangerous. At the northern
end of the runway, buildings rose up to six stories
just across the road. The low altitude manoeuvre
required to line up with the runway was so
spectacular that some passengers claimed to have
glimpsed the flickering of televisions through
apartment windows along the final approach.
Which airport and which city is it in?

21"Critical Film Studies" is the 19th episode of the second season of Community.
The episode is centered almost entirely on two characters—Jeff and Abed—conversing
in an upper class restaurant. The two engage in what is seemingly a deep conversation
about their life-changing experiences. Abed acts unusually social and normal, which
Jeff finds weird. . Having opened himself up to Jeff, Abed then insists that he and Jeff
have a "real conversation". Jeff responds by saying that he doesn't believe in real
conversation. In the process of explaining himself, he inadvertently lets out his
insecurities. As he is getting comfortable with opening himself to Abed, the waiter
stops by and accidentally reveals that the dinner was a reenactment of _____.
What was it a reenactment of ?

22Fiumicino is a stream in the heavily industrialized Emilia Romagna. Savignano di
Romagna, the town the stream runs through is a very industrial town and as a result
the it is extremely polluted. Exploitation of underground waters along the upper
course of the has reduced its flow. The presence of the stream has been recorded since
the ancient times, when it was named for its distinctive coloration, owing to the
presence of mud deposits. It has lost its natural route, except in its upper course
between low and woody hills. In 1933, Benito Mussolini renamed it and ever since it
has been the subject of great debate. Why?

23In 1934, X ran in the California gubernatorial election as a Democrat.
Speaking about his loss he later said, “The American People will take Socialism, but
they won't take the label. I certainly proved it in the case of EPIC. Running on the
Socialist ticket I got 60,000 votes, and running on the slogan to 'End Poverty in
California' I got 879,000. I think we simply have to recognize the fact that our enemies
have succeeded in spreading the Big Lie. There is no use attacking it by a front attack,
it is much better to out-flank them.”
Time magazine called him “a man with every gift except humor and silence.” He is
remembered for coining the famous line: “It is difficult to get a man to understand
something, when his salary depends upon him not understanding it.”

25This classic NYC building, X, occupied two city
blocks from 7th to 8th Avenue and from 31st to
33rd Streets. It was considered a masterpiece of the
Beaux-Arts style and one of the architectural jewels
of the city. As patronage decreased through the
1950s, a decision was made to destroy the above-
ground portions of the building. This decision
galvanized support for architectural preservation
across the United States, leading to the advent of
modern historical preservation. The plan was
carried out in 1963 and a different building, Y,
stands in the above-ground portion today. The new
building is the 4th building of the same name.
Name both buildings.

26While X is not the largest city in the country, it was the historical capital and the
country was known as the “Kingdom of X”. The name for the country is still X in
many South Asian languages, including Persian and Urdu. Various European names
for the country, including its English name, are derived from the name of the city.
The red walls of the city, built by Ali ibn Yusuf in 1122–1123, have given it the
nickname, “Red City”.
Today, the city has established itself as a cultural, religious, and trading centre for the
Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa. The biggest landmark in the city, Jemaa el-Fnaa, is
considered one of the busiest squares in all of Africa.
