Direction(9-18): Read the following paragraph and answer:
Edmunde Burke called the press the Fourth Estate of the
realm. I think he did not use this title for the Press
thoughtlessly as social ruling group or class. The three
Estates or Realms (in England) Lords Spiritual (i.e., the
Bishops in the House of Lords), the temporal, (i.e. other
Lords) and Commons, i. e., the common people). The Press
has been rightly called the Fourth Estate as it also.
constitutes a ruling group or class like the Lords and
Commons. It cannot be denied in a free country that the
Press exercises good deal of influence in shaping public
opinion and pointing out the weaknesses or defects of
society or of Government, and in general bringing to light all
those good or bad things in society which would have
otherwise remained unnoticed. The power is not limited or
put under any check. The Press, instead of, being controlled
by anyone controls life and thought of a nation: Hence the
Press constitutes an Estate by itself.
Obviously. thus power which the Press in an:) country
wields depends upon the number of newspaper readers. The
opinions . and comments of newspapers can influence. the
life of a nation only when they are read, by People. Reading
in turn, requires that the general mass of people should be
educated. Thus, the spread of education determines the
extent of the newspapers. Where readers are few;
newspapers must necessarily be few. Their influence, in that
case can extend only to a small minority of population. In a
country like India, the percentage of literacy is very low and
the standard of journalism is n9t very high. So Press has to
play the role of a teacher here.

(a) Instrument of Public Opinion

(d) Lord Temporal
10. The term Fourth Estate stands for
