Question 14
Buzzfeed has recently reported that there is a sizable sect of the people on the
internet who believe that many of the bad reviews circulating online of a movie
releasing in the US this weekend are faked and distributed through bots on social
media by followers of Lady Gaga, who want her movie with Bradley Cooper, A
Star is Born, which is also releasing the same weekend, to win over at the box
office. Now, fans backing the other film are beginning to push against this
reported attack by contributing to this toxicity. Posts mocking the bot spree have
started circulating in social media, and others are sharing their own negative
reviews of A Star Is Born as revenge.

Question 15
In 2015, a man from Glasgow, Scotland, walked into his local emergency room. He told the doctors that
he was suffering from wavy vision and a crippling chronic headache. They ran a full battery of tests, and
the results left doctors baffled. His blood pressure and body temperature were both normal. He reported
that he had no memory loss, nor had he suffered any head trauma. Neural scans were ordered, but yet
again, the tests came back fine.
The hospital finally called on an eye doctor, assuming that his eyes were where the problem lay. Upon
examination, the eye doctor noticed swollen optical discs and bleeding nerve fibers, which are telltale
signs of the final unsurprising diagnosis.
He’d obviously overdone something that you, as freshers, are a little too aware of by now (although I
hope never to his extent). So, what would you describe his condition as?

Answer
Hangover!
He had consumed 60 pints
of beer over four days.
That’s 28.4 liters of beer.

Y: Yes, I do. Y: I have never read your works, Mr Y.
X: I’ve had headaches every day. My eyes are terrible.
Y: My poor stomach. What am I going to do? It’s killing me.
In fact, I must leave at once.
X: I’m in the same situation. If I can find someone to take me by the arm. Goodbye!
Y: Charmé. Oh, my stomach.

offer to serve as President of Israel. He added that acceptance would require
relocation to Israel and acceptance of Israeli nationality, but in appreciation of the
importance and scope of his work he would be offered freedom to continue his

Question 1
The root word for the nine-lettered name of this fruit is “chakka.” When the
Portuguese landed in Kerala in 1498, they slightly modified the local “chakka,” to
