Q4.
Andre Kasongo Ilunga (born 20 October 1972) is the Vice-President
of the UNAFEC party and Minister for Foreign Trade of the
Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Under government rules, a party must provide a shortlist of at least
two candidates for any ministerial role, with the Prime Minister
making the final choice from the list. The only two candidates put
forward for the Foreign Trade post were Kasongo Ilunga and
Kisimba Ngoy. Kisimba had been a vocal supporter of Mobutu Sese
Seko, someone who Antoine Gizenga had once strongly opposed,
likely causing him to choose the unknown Ilunga over Kisimba.
The enigmatic 36-year-old failed to appear at the opening of the
new government, and he hasnt claimed his office. Some say that
the invisible bureaucrat has resigned, but the prime minister insists
that he must do so in person. Question is, why did he decline to
claim his office?

It is known as a shutout in games like baseball,
American football and ice hockey. While possible

first appeared in the 1930s. Sports reporters of
the era used separate pieces of paper to record
the different statistical details of a game. If one
team didn't do something, then that team's
"details of _____page would appear as a/an X
leading to the term. WHAT IS X?
Q7.
This is about an organization's symbol. X's tree is
alright but the tiger looks like some species of dog and
I am afraid that the design ofa dog and a tree would
arouse derision among the irreverent. X's tiger is
distinctly good but the tree has spoiled it. The stem is
too long and the branches too spidery.' On February
23, 1935, in the board meeting of X, it was decided to
replace the lion in East India Company's Lion & Palm
seal by a tiger which is more Indian. Several design's
were submitted. The above was the comment of Sir
James Taylor on examining various designs. Finally East
India Company's seal was decided to be
continued as X's seal. Which organization ?

gets the cheque and leaves.SaritaMitra, Taranginismother listened to
Padmaseewith rapt attention. She waited for him to sign-off before engaging
herself in some assessment. Saritahad just back then lost her husband to an

she said and walked inside.Saritareached Taras bedroom and slowly pushed open
the door. Tara was pirouetting, lost in her own dimension of space and time. She
