This Brings It All Together....

a: Double displacement ~
b: when partners swap dates

What: Double displacement is like when partners swap dates, for example when KI is mixed with AgNO3, Ag pairs up with the I and K pairs up with the NO3. Positives can only be paired up with negatives. Then you check on the solubility chart. Iodide is not soluble when paired with silver therefore you can conclude that that is the identity of the precipitate.

a: Adrenaline ~
b: whip that drives the horse

What: "Adrenaline's effects are dramatic and unmistakable, but because this hormone does not linger in your body, its effects are also relatively short-lived. On the other hand, cortisol, the stress hormone produced by the outer cortex, has more prolonged effects on your body. If adrenaline is like the whip that drives the horse faster and faster, cortisol is like the rider's boot, digging into the flank, keeping the horse going even when it's ready to quit."
