Q.6
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?
Q.7
Fill in the blank with a suitable conjunction:
He wanted to return the book ________ he went to the library.
Q.8
Choose the correct adjectives and complete the sentence:
He possesses a ________ shirt which he bought two years ago.
