Saturday 20: General Quiz Set


Hello everyone. Hope you are having an awesome day! Here’s today’s dose
of trivia for you
.
Q1.This is a DC Comics supervillain who is the enemy of Green Arrow and
Batman. Kevin Smith, the creator named him that just because of his love for
that word.
You must have heard his name in your English classes
as process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or
suggests the sound that it describes. 

Name him.






Onomatopoeia does have quite an interesting ring to it…

Q2. During the Gallic War (58-50 BC), Caesar’s men did not mutiny once, but
during the Civil Wars (49–45 BC) they started to become less dependable, and
when they started to make insubordinate demands, Caesar faced them boldly,
and always brought them to heel again. At one time when Caesar’s Tenth
Legion was at Rome, they threatening to revolt if they didn’t get paid, or
released from service. But there was no money to pay them and the nation was
in the middle of war. Caesar defied the advice of his friends and took it
upon himself to confront the mutineers in person.

Though the
African war (around 47 BC) was still being hotly fought, he had made up his
mind that he would have disbanded them shamefully, like he did the Ninth
Legion, but what he did was address them with a single word, without needing
to go any further.

The one word hurt the sentiments of the
soldiers, and they fell quite immediately, and the 30,000 all fell quiet and
Caesar readily regained their affections. What was the one word that Caesar
had uttered, which when addressed to
any common group of people in the city, would not hurt sentiments?







“Citizens”
A shout went up: ‘We are your soldiers,
Caesar, not civilians!’ and they clamoured to serve under him in Africa: a
demand which he nevertheless disdained to grant.

He showed his
contempt for the more disaffected soldiers by withholding a third part of
the prize money and land which had been set aside for them.

Q3. One of the alternate names for a Proboscis monkey, a species of monkey
that is endemic to the island of Borneo in the south-eastern Asia,

physical resemblance of the animal to something quite ubiquitous to the area
at the time.

What did the locals call the Proboscis monkey?

Q4. Which drink is so called because its flavor is so strong that it is
served by the half-glass?

city. It’s an absolute fan favourite and 💗 for many….
