symbol of "virile patriotism". Her description is arguably the best there is: "Tall
and stately, but thin to the point of emancipation, languid and luxurious of
habit, Y attenuated form is a deceptive sheath of a spirit of exceptional vitality
and endurance. Somewhat formal and fastidious, and a little aloof and
imperious of manner, the calm hauteur of his accustomed reserve but masks,
for those who know him, a naïve and eager humanity, an intuition quick
and tender as a woman’s, a humour gay and winning as child’s … a shy and
splendid idealism which is of the very essence of the man.” Identify X and Y.

Q 8. In Scouting, a Y is a large gathering of Scouts who rally at a national or

international level. According to the Canadian Oxford Dictionary, the
etymology is "19th century, origin unknown". The OED identifies it as coming
from American slang and identifies a use in the New York Herald in 1868
and in Irish writings later in the 19th century. RobertGraves in The Crowning
Privilege: The Clark Lectures, 1954–1955 suggests Baden-Powell might have
known the word through his regiment's Irish links rather than from the US
slang. Poet Robert W. Service used the term well before the first Y. It appears
in the poem "Athabaska Dick" in his Rhymes of a Rolling Stone, which was
published in 1912. At the time, the word meant a rowdy, boisterous gathering.

Ans. 8 Y= Jamboree.

lead players, and a playful competition exists between the two performers.

Ans. 9 X= Jugalbandi.

Q 10. X, a 1963 suspense thriller, directed by R.K. Nayyar with Sunil Dutt, Leela
Naidu and Rehman, was the first Bollywood film which seemed to exploit this
case. It flopped at the box office. The film began with a disclaimer that all
people and incidents were fictitious, and altered the case's
outcome. Leela Naidu's 2010 book with Jerry Pinto indicates that the movie
screenplay was written before the case. It was a coincidence of the real-life
case events with a similar movie storyline that led to similarities while the
movie was being made.

Ans. 10 X= K.M. Nanavati Case.

Q 11. “The Natural History” (Naturalis Historia), the most comprehensive

encyclopaedic work of classical Rome, was compiled and partly published by X

up to Coptos, through the desert to Berenice at the Red Sea (shortened in the

Ocean. Identify X.
