Q.1 :  What subculture’s origin is explained below: In the 1970s, Japan introduced mechanical pencils which provided fine handwriting. As a result, girls started to develop excessively sweet handwriting & drawings, which eventually got banned from schools due to illegibility. These drawings made their way onto magazines, make-up etc. What most people don’t realize is that it was a way for girls to express themselves in their own way, and rebel against traditional culture (often seen as boring & oppressive). Similarly, girls would dress in offbeat styles to express their feelings. Q.2 : First products of which companies ? A. Wooden toy ducks  B.

For example, we have a perception that Victorian-era London did not have any colored residents, but it was common for sailors to pick up crew from South Asia and bring them back to England. Similarly, in the 12th Century, girls born on the Feast of Epiphany were given the name X . The name has seen a resurgence in modern times, so whenever we come across it in media which is set in medieval ti...

Q.1 : In the late 16th century, a writer of prose fiction named Robert Greene wrote a book titled A Groatsworth of Wit, in which he surveyed the literary scenario in London. Towards the end, he mentioned a newcomer but not by name: "Yes trust them not: for there is an upstart Crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his Tygers hart wrapt in a Players hyde, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blanke verse as the best of you: and beeing an absolute Johannes fac totum,is in his owne conceit the onely -scene in a countrey." He basically accused the newcomer of plagiarism, by borrowing the quote "an upstart crow, beautified with feathers" from another famous writer of the time Horace. Who was this newcomer? Q.2 : The Latin phrase for "Our Nourishing Mother" was originally used for mother goddesses like Ceres and Cybele, eventually coming to be used for Mother Mary after the rise of Christianity.
