    Explanation:

    - The passage describes a ceremonial event at the border between India and Pakistan. The ritual includes formal and precise military procedures.

    - The gap in the sentence for blank 5 involves describing how opposing guardsmen shake hands. It suggests a specific manner or attitude.

    - Option 1: "brightly" implies a cheerful or enthusiastic demeanor, which seems mismatched with the somber and formal context.

    - Option 2: "curtly" fits the formal and controlled interaction, reflecting a quick and brief manner in keeping with military formality.

    - Option 3: "critically" reflects an analytical or condemning tone, and doesn't align with the ceremonial aspect.

    - Option 4: "radically" implies a drastic or revolutionary manner, which is out of context for a traditional and established ceremony.
