Q1. X was a young man who set fire to the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus (in what is now western Turkey) in his quest for fame on about July 20, 356 BC.The temple was constructed of marble and considered the most beautiful of some thirty shrines built by the Greeks to honor their goddess of the hunt, the wild and childbirth. The temple was also one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, 425 feet long and supported by columns sixty feet high. Far from attempting to evade responsibility for his act of arson, X proudly claimed credit in order to immortalize his name in history. In order to dissuade similar-minded fame-seekers, the Ephesean authorities not only executed him but also condemned him to a legacy of obscurity by forbidding mention of his name under the penalty of death. This did not stop X from achieving his goal, however, as the ancient historian Theopompus recorded the event and its perpetrator in his history.

Q2. It is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools without crystal growth. It is mineral-like, but not a true mineral because as a glass it is not crystalline; in addition, its composition is too complex to comprise a single mineral. It is sometimes classified as a mineraloid. Due to being hard and naturally occurring, it was used by the Mayans and Incas as blades in their weapons. Modern Archaeologists have started a dating system on the basis of artifacts of this glass. Its modern use lies in surgical applications because well crafted blades have a cutting edge many times sharper than high-quality steel surgical scalpels, with the edge of the blade being only about 3 nanometers wide. It is also used for ornamental purposes and as gemstones. What am I talking about?

Q11. An Extract from George Barrington's Voyage to Botany Bay (1795):- “I had often heard of the superstition of sailors respecting apparitions, but had never given much credit to the report; it seems that some years since a man of war was lost off the Cape of Good Hope, and every soul on board perished; her consort weathered the gale, and arrived soon after at the Cape. Having refitted, and returning to Europe, they were assailed by a violent tempest nearly in the same latitude. In the night watch some of the people saw, or imagined they saw, a vessel standing for them under a press of sail, as though she would run them down: one in particular affirmed it was the ship that had foundered in the former gale, and that it must certainly be her, or the apparition of her; but on its clearing up, the object, a dark thick cloud, disappeared. Nothing could do away the idea of this phenomenon on the minds of the sailors; and, on their relating the circumstances when they arrived in port, the story spread like wild-fire, and the supposed phantom was called the ___________.” What is this extract from the memoirs of a sailor referring to?
