28. Question 14
This unusual braided hair style is supposedly based on that of
East African warriors. It derives its name from the fear they
presumably aroused in beholders. It is also said to be
practiced as a Fear of the Lord in Rastafarianism, an
Abrahamic religion that developed in Jamaica during the
1930s. That’s why you find many Jamaicans (Eg. Bob Marley)
and other Caribbeans adopting the hairstyle in popular
culture. In Indian culture, they are called as Jata and are
grown as a tribute to Shiva. Which hairstyle? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ s
S denotes plural here

In the discovery reality show called Breaking Point, Indian

rigor of the profession. In one of the episodes, the participant
is onboard the INS Sindhukirti, a Sindhughosh-class diesel-
electric submarine of the Navy. As he learns the basics of
navigation, he sees that they are taking a strangely long and
odd route out of the Vishakhapatnam Harbour. When he asks
the reason for this, the navigator informs him that it’s to avoid
a shipwreck.
While the navigator speaks casually about it, the shipwreck is
not ordinary. Which shipwreck?

What you see in the video is called the Evasive
Manoeuvre Test in Automobile Industry Parlance? It is
performed to determine how well a certain vehicle
evades a suddenly appearing obstacle. It became an
industry norm after a huge increase in the number of
accidents caused by X on the roads across the North
American and Eurasian region. The test thus came to be
popularly known as the X test. Identify X

38. Question 19
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (9) is a practice in series competitions
that allows participants who failed to meet qualifying
standards by a small margin to continue to the next
round, in a similar way as a wild card works out. To put
it in a different way, the best of the losers in the
qualifying rounds get another chance in this system. It’s
derived from the French word for “fish out” or “rescue”
and is common in sports like rowing, fencing and
wrestling. You might have regularly come across this
word while watching Olympic sports. Which word?

39. Repechage

40. Question 20
In 1812, Governor Elbridge Gerry of
Massachussets enacted a law that
would redefine the boundaries of
the local districts in a way that
would favour his chances of winning
the Governor’s. This move was
heavily criticized by his opponents
and political observers. On the right
is cartoon in which cartoonist
Elkanah Tisdale satirized the
resulting shape of the new district
in the Boston Gazette. It looked like
a creature out of a fantasy novel but
on a basic level represented a
popular real-life slender bodied
lizard like amphibian. This fictitious
animal lent its name to the
infamous malpractice of redrawing
the boundaries of districts by
greedy lawmakers. What’s the
term?
