Explanation:

- The passage talks about annual controversies surrounding national sports awards in India. It highlights accusations of bias, regionalism, and manipulation often arise following the announcement of the awards.

- The missing word in blank number 5 should complete the list of actions or phenomena that are seen as recurrent parts of the awards' controversy.

Options for blank number 5:

1. Jest: Refers to something said or done for amusement. It's not fitting for the context because the passage speaks about serious issues.

2. Game: Implies a structured activity with rules; however, it doesn't align well with the context of recurring controversies or events.

3. Sport: Generally, it refers to physical activities or games, but metaphorically, could fit with 'playing politics.'

4. Line: Implies a sequence or part of a routine, suitable for describing regularly occurring phenomena.

Correct Answer: Line. The word "line" suggests a routine series of events, making it the most appropriate choice to describe a pattern of actions that accompany the awards controversy.
