Read the questions carefully and answer precisely.
The dispute grew into a wider war involving states whose interests extended well beyond the immediate theatre. Much of the fighting took place across mountainous terrain, before an agreement eventually froze the battlefield without settling the political question beneath it.
The division endured, while the conflict itself never acquired a definitive legal conclusion. One of the principal participants declined to formally endorse the agreement that brought the fighting to an end.
What conflict is being talked about here?
A newly seated Asian delegation once brought a grievance to the fledgling United Nations concerning how a fellow member state treated a minority tied to the delegation's own country.
The accused government's foreign minister — a former general who had helped draft the organisation's charter only three years before — invoked the very provision meant to protect states from outside interference in their internal affairs. He lost the vote.
Legal historians now regard this moment as establishing a specific institutional “first” for the Assembly. What “first” is this episode credited with?
A sky-God arms himself with a weapon said to be unlike any other ever made, and sets out to face a dragon so immense it lies coiled across the mountains, its body blocking the world's rivers at their source. Priests and hymns had long promised that this god was destined to be the one who would finally break the serpent's grip and set the world right.
When the dragon finally falls, thunder is said to roar and the earth to shake, but the myth's true climax comes after: the rivers the serpent had swallowed and hoarded come pouring out at last, rushing forth to water the earth for the first time. What epic encounter is being referenced here?

One episode of a children's animation aired exactly once, decades ago, and was never broadcast again anywhere in the world. Within minutes, hundreds of young viewers were hospitalized after a strobing on-screen effect triggered seizures nationwide.
The story exploded internationally, unexpectedly giving the obscure children's programme enormous worldwide publicity just as it was beginning its international expansion. The franchise would go on to become the highest-grossing media franchise in entertainment history, while the incident permanently changed the way animated television handled rapidly flashing imagery.
Name the episode referenced here.
***I crossed into a continent-scale conflict carrying nothing that could kill, attached to no regiment and flying no flag of my own — just a handful of colleagues sent by a movement that could not yet call itself a state. I worked at the same forward hospital already made famous by another foreign volunteer before me, a name history remembers more readily than mine. I outlasted my own countrymen there, stayed on alone, and never went home.
Decades later, the nation I had bled for on someone else's behalf built me into something closer to a national emblem than a footnote — invoked even now whenever two of the oldest civilizations need reminding that they were, at least once, on the same side. Who am I?
***X arrived alongside a famous comet and, by coincidence or perhaps appointment, left when it returned.
They once navigated a great river before becoming better known for navigating the absurdities of human nature, while their wardrobe eventually became almost as recognizable as their writing. They wrote about boys, kings, knights, and the darker side of civilization, admired inventors, befriended presidents, and managed to lose a fortune chasing a hopeless investment.
X was a humourist, skeptic, adventurer, and relentless critic of society. Long before one of Japan’s most famous modern literary genre Y took the world by storm, X had already imagined its core premise.
Identify X and Y.
Our name has carried more than one meaning over time. We have spent much of the last decade moving between worlds that rarely share the same stage, appearing before international institutions and speaking on matters far removed from the field in which we first became known.
Our journeys have taken us across oceans under privileges normally reserved for official representatives, while our work has brought recognition from organisations whose membership extends far beyond our homeland. Yet despite all this, one of our more recent honours came not from an international body, but from a country's highest seat of government, where we were welcomed as distinguished visitors and presented with a commemorative plaque.
Who are we?
Long before it was possible, X approached space travel like an engineer rather than a dreamer, reasoning out the launch site, the size of the crew, the design of the vessel, the length of the voyage, and how the travellers would make it home.
Decades later, Y unfolded in reality, matching that imagined journey point for point: the same launch region, a crew of equal size, a comparable timeline, and the same manner of return. Who was X, and what was Y?
X is a two-time Academy Award winner, having first been married to a beloved sitcom icon and later to a co-star from one of the most celebrated spy films in cinema. Y is the lead actress of a long-running medical drama and is famously associated with coining the term “pick me.” Z is the protagonist of an NBC police procedural and holds the distinction of being the longest-running character in an American primetime drama.
All three are connected to A, who received an honorary doctorate from New York University. What is the connection between X, Y, Z and A?
In September 2012, a city on the far eastern edge of the map from a river-side metropolis nicknamed the “City of Joy”, hosted a quiet milestone: a century still remained on a countdown. The two cities share the same initial ‘K’.
What was the celebration?
The father of the child in the picture wrote a play “X” that shares its name with a local festival and a structure. From the aforementioned structure, if you move northward along a riverside, you may reach the Eastern Hemisphere’s oldest mechanised golden-fibre mill, which would have existed in its historical form had it not been destroyed by a blaze in the exact year when the Crown took power.
What is X here?
