Q1-5 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.

The 71st UN general assembly (UNGA) session, unlike the (A) affairs of the past, literally began with a bang. A couple of explosions and the discovery of crude bombs in New York and New Jersey, barely a week after the Eth anniversary of 9/A, revived the spectre of terrorism. The swift arrest of Ahmad Khan Rahami just two days later and his reported trips to Pakistan and Afghanistan focused attention on the region as a base of transnational terrorism.

Clearly, Sharif’s ill-advised speech served neither the cause of Pakistan nor Kashmir. As my colleague Barnett Rubin observed, “The world will not listen to the just (C) of the people of Kashmir as long as Pakistan tries to impose terrorists as their leaders.”

Over the past few years, several high-level special sessions on issues ranging from disarmament to countering maritime (E) have been held on the sidelines of the general assembly and have provided an opportunity for India to play a role in shaping global rules that also advanced its interests.
