Direction (): In the following passage, there are blanks each of which has been numbered. These numbers are printed below the passage and against each five groups of words have been suggested, one of which fills the blanks appropriately.
Saudi Arabia has allowed women into the national stadium for the first time as it launched celebrations to mark the 87th anniversary (1) with an unprecedented array of concerts and performances. The events are part of the government’s Vision 2030 reform program launched two years ago to (2) away from oil, create new sectors to employ young citizens and open up Saudis’ cloistered lifestyles. However, in a country (3) Wahhabi brand of Sunni Islam, which bans gender mixing, concerts, and cinemas, the plan’s seemingly anodyne goals to empower women, promote sports and invest in entertainment (4). They have stepped up national day celebrations that were previously attacked by clerics as (5), and are promoting heritage sites, such as Nabatean rock temples, once seen as embarrassing in the land of Islam.
Choose the correct answer from the given options to fill the blank 5.
Undermining religious feelings
Demeaning women
Deteriorating the protection of women
Hindering social progress
Promoting concealed feelings
Correct Answer is (a).A cleric is a priest or religious leader, especially a Christian or Muslim one. Since the word ‘clerics’ is used before the blank and the content in the blank needs to be related with it, only option A seems to fit. ‘Undermining’ means ‘weakening or sabotaging’. The sentence does not talk about; hence options B and C are incorrect. ‘Social progress’ is a wide term and the context doesn’t indicate anything towards it; hence option D can be eliminated. Option E is out of context as well. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
