2)Facundo _____, a wine merchant, was born in Sitges (Catalonia, Spain) in 1814 and emigrated to Cuba in 1830. During this period, rum was cheaply made and not considered a refined drink, one rarely sold in upscale taverns. Don Facundo began attempting to "tame" rum. After experimenting with several techniques he hit upon filtering the rum through charcoal, which removed impurities. In addition to this, Facundo aged the rum in oak barrels, which had the effect of "mellowing" the drink. The final product was the first clear, or "white" rum in the world.

Fill the blank with one word.Sorry for the big essay.
3)X, the creator of the Y, has attributed the origins of Z to the 1963 Arthur Lipsett abstract film 21-87 which used samples from many sources.
"One of the audio sources Lipsett sampled for 21-87 [a film that had a great influence on X] was a conversation between artificial intelligence pioneer Warren S. McCulloch and Roman Kroitor , a cinematographer who went on to develop IMAX. In the face of McCulloch's arguments that living beings are nothing but highly complex machines, Kroitor insists that there is something more: 'Many people feel that in the contemplation of nature and in communication with other living things, they become aware of some kind of force, or something, behind this apparent mask which we see in front of us, and they call it God.'"
Tell X,Y and Z.
