Q1.

• ____________ is the misleading marketing practice of including a minuscule amount of an active ingredient in a cosmetic, dietary supplement or food product, insufficient to cause any measurable benefit.

• The advertising materials may claim that the ingredient is helpful and that the ingredient is contained in the product, both of which are true.

• However, no claim is made that the product contains enough of the active ingredient to have an effect – this is just assumed by the purchaser. Thus, while misleading, it is typically legal.

Chevalier notes that the "ambiguous look" on the girl's face left the "most lasting impression" on her. She describes the girl's expression "to be a mass of contradictions: innocent yet experienced, joyous yet tearful, full of longing and yet full of loss." She began to think that the girl had directed all these emotions at the painter, and began to think of the "story behind that look“.

• X (1899) is a short novel by Polish novelist Joseph Conrad , written as a frame narrative , about Charles Marlow's life as an ivory transporter down the Congo River in Central Africa . The river is "a mighty big river , that you could see on the map , resembling an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea , its body at rest curving afar over a vast country , and its tail lost in the depths of the land .”. In the course of his travel in central Africa , Marlow becomes obsessed with Mr. Kurtz .

• The story is a complex exploration of the attitudes people hold on what constitutes a barbarian versus a civilized society and the attitudes on colonialism and racism that were part and parcel of European imperialism . Originally published as a three-part serial story , in Blackwood's Magazine , the novella X has been variously published and translated into many languages . In 1998 , the Modern Library ranked X as the sixty-seventh of the hundred best novels in English of the twentieth century .

• Costume designer Lindy Hemming described the X's look as reflecting his personality , in that "he doesn't care about himself at all“ ; she avoided designing him as a vagrant , but still made him appear to be "scruffier, grungier " so that "when you see him move , he's slightly twitchier or edgy.“ The protagonist actor noted , "We gave a Francis Bacon spin to [his face]. This corruption , this decay in the texture of the look itself . It's grubby . You can almost imagine what he smells like .” In creating the "chaotic" look of the X , Hemming drew inspiration from such countercultural pop culture artists as Pete Doherty , Iggy Pop , and Johnny Rotten .

• XY was developed by the brewer Samuel Allsopp & Sons of  Burton upon Trent in 1876 as an India Pale Ale . Allsopp merged with Ind Coope in 1935 . Bottled XY began to be advertised heavily from 1946, becoming one of four nationally distributed beers by the 1950s . Under reciprocal trading agreements Ind Coope would agree to stock a rival brewer's beer if they replaced their supply of Bass or Worthington with XY . The keg version was launched in the 1960s . During the 1970s it was advertised heavily by Ind Coope , especially on TV, with the tagline : "A XY works wonders".

• Carlsberg UK discontinued off-trade sales of the brand in April 2003, although it continues as a keg beer . It has been alleged that small scale production of the bottled variant continues as it is Prince Philip's favourite beer, with Paul Burrell attesting that Philip drank a small bottle nightly .

• "X" was used in a study to train medical professionals to provide the correct number of chest compressions per minute while performing CPR. The song has close to 104 beats per minute, and 100-120 chest compressions per minute are recommended by the British Heart Foundation, and endorsed by the Resuscitation Council (UK).\A study on medical professionals found that the quality of CPR is better when thinking about “X” . This was parodied in the season 5 episode of comedy series The Office "Stress Relief".

• On 15 June 2011, the song was featured in a Hands Only CPR PSA campaign video from the American Heart Association and featured actor and medical doctor Ken Jeong in the classic John Travolta outfit from Saturday Night Fever.
