Q.5
Read the passage and answer the question:
Mr Chang must know that the PM was addressing the whole country and not just the thinkers. In the speech that lasted about an hour, he talked on subjects that he felt the people would like to listen to and possibly act on his exhortations. On this, he scored one hundred percent. The PM tore into the general psyche of being soft on male children as compared to female children. I am optimistic this will strike a chord in all sets of parents and, hopefully, they will teach their male children to behave responsibly. Every other issue he addressed would also directly affect the masses, and the PM wanted positive action from his citizens. On internal security, defence, and space, what could the people contribute if the PM had mentioned his plans? There is not much that people can contribute directly to the space and defence sectors. However, on internal security, he did indirectly touch upon it by exhorting all sections of society to shun all forms of violence, including communal violence. A majority of internal security issues would be resolved if the communities lived in peace and harmony with each other. On defence and space, the PM would definitely engage with the persons involved in those sectors, which he has done extremely well so far. Also, there is a significant amount of risk in outlining your strategies in critical sectors such as defence.
When the PM said 'the general psyche of being soft', what did he mean?
Q.6
Fill in the blank with the correct conjunction:
Martha loves to cook _______ no one is there to taste her food.
Q.7
Fill in the blank with the correct verb form:
We _________ the house deserted. I was scared to step inside the house.
Q.8
Read the passage and answer the question:
Mr. Chang must realise that the Prime Minister was addressing the entire nation — not just intellectuals. In his hour-long speech, the PM spoke on topics he believed would resonate with the public and inspire them to act on his appeals. On this front, he scored a perfect hundred.
The PM strongly criticised the societal tendency to be lenient with male children compared to female children. I am optimistic this message will strike a chord with parents across the board, encouraging them to teach their sons to behave responsibly. Every other issue he raised directly impacts the general public, and the PM clearly sought positive action from citizens.
Regarding internal security, defence, and space — what direct contribution could ordinary citizens make if the PM had detailed his plans in these areas? There is little the public can do directly in the fields of defence and space. However, on internal security, the PM indirectly addressed the issue by urging all sections of society to reject all forms of violence, including communal strife. Most internal security challenges would be resolved if communities lived together in peace and harmony. As for defence and space, the PM has — and will continue to — engage directly with experts and stakeholders in those sectors, which he has done very effectively so far. Moreover, revealing strategic plans in critical areas like defence carries significant risk.
How long was the speech delivered by the PM?
