Direction: Given below is a passage with eight blanks against each of which three words are suggested to fill in the blanks. You are required to read the passage and fill the blanks with the most appropriate word/words for each of the blanks. As the general elections loom, different political forces are making ___ A ___ attempts to politically position or reposition themselves in order to forge a winning combination. It is also interesting that this positioning and repositioning around the ___ B ___ of a common good is mutually conflicting. The parties in opposition, for example, seem to be suggesting that they are ___ C ___ to positioning themselves with each other, and around the universal perspective that is inclusive of values like democracy, secularism, and freedom from fear. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on the other side of the spectrum, are ___ D ___ to convince the public that Hindutva is the only universal common good. However, such attempts by the Sangh Parivar chief to calculatingly flesh out an “all-inclusive” position is ___ E ___ more in self-confidence and, therefore, devoid of egalitarian conviction. His attempts both at outreach through a lecture series and at ___ F ___ Narendra Modi–Amit Shah’s pet slogan of a “Congress-mukt Bharat” (Congress-free India) could be seen as a part of this repositioning. Moreover, the ___ G ___ posturing of the RSS can also be seen as resulting from the recognition of widespread public discontent against the policies of the current government. Seeking an extended meaning in Hindutva is fundamentally ___ H ___ by the need to maintain its control over levers of formal political power. The posturing that the RSS is “not interested” in formal political power, therefore, is necessarily a defensive ploy.
I. Committed
II. Unified
Both I and II
Only III
Both II and III
Only I
Only II
Correct Answer is (d).The context is about the stance of the opposition political parties in the country regarding the utilization of Hinduism and religion in the upcoming general elections. The opposition parties want to come together with the objective of upholding secularism, democracy and freedom from fear. It is implied that the opposition is actually committed to these ideas. Among the given words, committed fits perfectly in the given blank whereas the other two words unified and yearned are completely out of context here since the first implies coming together and the second one is used to imply desired. These two words can be eliminated. This makes option D the correct choice among the given options.
