In the following passage, there are blanks each of which has been numbered these numbers are given below the passage and against each, five words have been suggested, one of which fits the blanks appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case.
In his August E speech, Mr. Trump said he had changed his mind after seeing NATO’s new commitment to fighting terrorism, expressed at the Warsaw Summit. “I had previously said that NATO was (A) because it failed to deal adequately with terrorism; since my comments they have changed their policy and now have a new division focused on terror threats,” Mr. Trump said.
The Obama administration’s policy appears conflicted, as it tries to walk a tight rope between “strength and dialogue” with regard to Russia, amid the unending flux in strategic equations as all countries keep their options open and often play one against the other. Russian influence in Iran, Iraq and Syria make it a/an (B) partner in the fight against the Islamic State (IS) and Islamism. Russia is a key partner in the Iran nuclear deal that both Ms. Clinton and
Mr. Obama display as a key foreign policy success. America’s support to Turkey after it shot down a Russian plane in November 20E leading to tensions between the two now appears distant as Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Mr. Putin discover a new bonhomie and the Turkish government suspects U.S involvement in the recent (C) attempt. Meanwhile, the U.S and Russia are coordinating efforts to hold the recent victories against the IS in Syria. Simultaneously, the U.S. accuses Russia of not focussing its military operations against the IS and warns it against aggression against NATO partners. The Obama administration is “making clear to Russia that we will not tolerate any type of aggression or (D) within NATO’s borders,” said Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications for President Obama, recently.
The public opinion in America sees Russia and Mr. Putin as hostile. According to a December 20E Pew study, Americans’ views of Russia have deteriorated. In 20A, about half of Americans had a favourable opinion of Russia, but in 20E, just 22 per cent expressed such sentiments, the study found.
But Mr. Trump is clear that Islamism is the bigger threat and Russia is an ally in the fight against extremism. By constantly defining his campaign as combat against Islamism, Mr. Trump is seeking to turn public opinion in favour of his argument. But the view that America should not be trying to fight on multiple fronts, that it must focus exclusively on Islamism and Islamist terrorism and therefore Russia is a good partner to have, is not an isolated Trumpian take. For instance, Republican Congressman Dana Tyrone Rohrabacher from California, a critic of Mr. Trump until he won the nomination, has been a long-time (E) of this argument.
