At Asian Games-01

The Indian Express Editorial – By English Madhyam 10 Oct, 2023
At Asian Games, India fearlessly won medals against the might of superpowers
By winning 107 medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games, India for the first time entered the elite sporting
club with a three-digit tally that has China, Japan and Korea as its regular members. Of course, with
200 golds, China is in a different league but India has made a start by clearing the psychological hurdle.
Helping to break the barrier were the hard-fought medals in disciplines where India is traditionally
strong — shooting, hockey, wrestling and kabaddi. Shooting’s return to reckoning with a catch of 22
medals including 7 golds — the most by any participating nation — was a reassuring sign of
regeneration. At the range, India went toe to toe with China, displaying great depth of talent. The
discipline was outdone only by athletics, which finished with 29 medals. Javelin star Neeraj Chopra’s
magical consistency offered the wind beneath their wings and provided a reminder that Olympics
podiums were within reach.
Every medal, though, will be viewed from an Olympics lens. Compound archery lorded over the rest
with complete domination, but is not yet an Olympics sport and hence sees medal-digging China
ignore it. Rowing and boxing contributed five each, though, like wrestling, they have fallen back in
nailing down golds and need to pull up their socks ahead of the Paris Games. The churn in wrestling
for the greater good of women wrestlers’ safety was necessary, and the missing gold medal quality of
Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia was a moment to reflect on why the system is making it so difficult
for its own athletes. Boxer Nikhat Zareen’s missed gold was a wakeup call to not get complacent
ahead of Paris. A gold missed — though silvers were secured — was also the tale in golf with Aditi
Ashok and the men’s team in badminton. However, Satwiksairaj Ranki Reddy and Chirag Shetty’s
historic first Asiad gold in men’s doubles along with HS Prannoy’s hard fought bronze saw India strike
back a week later.
The most heart-wrenching solo silver belonged to Wushu’s Roshibina Devi whose tears asked
important questions — about why Manipur continues to burn and why her fellow Wushu players from
Arunachal were denied a chance to compete by China’s stapled visa policy. Cricket’s two golds were a
farce, raising questions over the suitability of the sport in multi-sport Games when rains could bring it
to a grinding halt. But perhaps the most memorable bronze will be Ayhika and Sutirtha Mukherjee
beating China in quarters of table tennis doubles. Defending their strongholds in hockey and kabaddi
was important, but the medals in table tennis and badminton in world class fields point to real
progress — fearlessly winning medals against the might of Asian superpowers. [Practice Exercise]

order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph
1. The combative advent of the Russian military into Ukraine early Thursday has predictably
spooked markets across all asset classes the world over
A. Oil prices surged to an eight-year high of around $105 a barrel, stock markets tumbled
with the Indian bourses crashing nearly 5% on Thursday and the rupee dipping
perilously close to the 76 to a dollar mark. The flight to safety amid all this mayhem
propped up India’s favourite yellow metal to a 15-month high
B. Domestic stock indices that have already been witnessing tumultuous swings in recent
weeks as global inflation flared up and the US Federal Reserve signalled faster throttling
of ‘easy money’ liquidity, did pare some of these initial losses on Friday
C. There could be double-edged economic ramifications for those sitting on the fence if the
extent of sanctions against Russia is intensified
D. But multi-layered uncertainty will keep investor nerves on edge, as will the diplomatic
fallout of how the UNSC decides to tackle Russia in its vote, with the western world
seeking strict condemnation and sanctions, while India has thus far preferred not to
take a side
2. This could deter Indian interests, be it in terms of trade financing, investment flows and
even banking transfers as calls to bar Moscow from the SWIFT global payment network
grow louder. For now, Russia’s oil exports have not been explicitly targeted yet

A. The Supreme Court of India’s verdict last week, upholding the authority of a committee of
the Delhi Assembly to summon a senior official of Facebook, is an extremely nuanced

recognition of the extent of powers of State Assemblies in matters regulated by an Act of

Parliament
B. This was also the position taken by the central government, which argued that the Delhi
Assembly had no jurisdiction in this matter. The social media platform also pointed out that
it was governed by the IT Act of Parliament, and this is not therefore something that any
State government can be concerned with
C. The Court, in upholding the summons, did not go merely by the legislative powers of a
House. It rightly said, “The Assembly does not only perform the function of legislating; there
are many other aspects of governance which can form part of the essential functions of the
Legislative Assembly and consequently the committee.”
D. The question mark about the powers arose in the first place because Facebook, whose India
vice-president Ajit Mohan was repeatedly summoned by Delhi Assembly’s Committee on
Peace and Harmony on the subject of the Delhi riots of 2020, argued before the Supreme
Court that this was a case of overreach; and that Delhi’s law and order came under the
central government

Explanation
1. C) The passage mentions that athletics finished with 29 medals, which is the highest mentioned
tally for any sport. It is also said that the shooting discipline was outdone only by athletics.
2. C) The passage mentions that Satwiksairaj Ranki Reddy and Chirag Shetty won India's historic
first Asiad gold in men's doubles. The other options are either not mentioned or contradicted
by the passage.
3. B) The passage states that while defending their strongholds in hockey and kabaddi was crucial,
the medals won in table tennis and badminton against world-class fields indicated real progress
as they were won "fearlessly winning medals against the might of Asian superpowers."
4. D) Throughout the passage, there is a prevailing tone of celebration and pride regarding India's
performance at the Hangzhou Asian Games. The author frequently uses positive language, such
as "entered the elite sporting club," "reassuring sign of regeneration," and "fearlessly winning
medals against the might of Asian superpowers."
5. C) The passage primarily focuses on India's achievements at the Hangzhou Asian Games,
highlighting the medals won in various disciplines, the significance of those medals, and the
challenges faced by Indian athletes. While comparisons to other countries, like China, are
made, the central theme revolves around India's performance and the broader context within
which these achievements are set.
6. B) CABDE
 Step 1: Start with sentence C because it introduces the event, i.e., "The virtual meet of
the Foreign Ministers of India, the U.S., Israel and the UAE...". This sets the context.
 Step 2: The immediate logical follow-up to C is A because it elaborates on the changes in
geopolitics, particularly between Israel and the UAE.
 Step 3: Sentence B comes after A as it speaks about the actions of the External Affairs
Minister, which is in the context of this meeting and the countries mentioned.
 Step 4: Sentence D elaborates on the strategy behind the meeting, making it a logical
continuation.
 Step 5: Finally, sentence E provides additional information about India's ties with the
mentioned countries and others, serving as a conclusion
7. D) ABDC
A. Oil prices surged to an eight-year high of around $105 a barrel, stock markets tumbled with
the Indian bourses crashing nearly 5% on Thursday and the rupee dipping perilously close to the
76 to a dollar mark. The flight to safety amid all this mayhem propped up India’s favourite
yellow metal to a 15-month high.

 Sentence A provides specifics on how markets responded on Thursday, directly

connecting with the first sentence. It speaks about the direct aftermath of the Russian
military action on global markets.
B. Domestic stock indices that have already been witnessing tumultuous swings in recent weeks
as global inflation flared up and the US Federal Reserve signalled faster throttling of ‘easy
money’ liquidity, did pare some of these initial losses on Friday.
 Sentence B shifts the focus slightly to domestic stock indices and provides background
on their recent performance. The mention of "Friday" suggests events that followed the
reactions mentioned in sentence A. Thus, it provides a time sequence continuation from
Sentence A.
D. But multi-layered uncertainty will keep investor nerves on edge, as will the diplomatic fallout
of how the UNSC decides to tackle Russia in its vote, with the western world seeking strict
condemnation and sanctions, while India has thus far preferred not to take a side.
 Sentence D delves into the broader uncertainties stemming from the situation,
highlighting potential diplomatic tensions and India's stance. It gives the broader
context of how global players might react to Russia's actions.
C. There could be double-edged economic ramifications for those sitting on the fence if the
extent of sanctions against Russia is intensified.
 Finally, Sentence C provides a hypothetical scenario on sanctions against Russia. It
appears to be a continuation from the global reactions and uncertainties discussed in
Sentence D.
8. B) ADBC
 A: Introduces the verdict of the Supreme Court regarding the Delhi Assembly's ability to
summon a senior official of Facebook.
 D: Elaborates on why the matter came up, detailing Facebook's contention about the
powers of the Delhi Assembly.
 B: Describes the positions of the central government and Facebook, explaining their
arguments against the Delhi Assembly's jurisdiction. This directly connects to the issue

functions of the Assembly, which gives a finality to the discussion.

19. D) By whom were my glasses broken?
20. C) The correct spelling for the underlined word "duel" in the context of the sentence is "dual."
उधचि शब्द "duel" की थिान पर "dual" है ।
21. D) sentence में , "Posters are _________ to promote..." में blank के सलए verb का past participle
चाठहए तयोंकक यहााँ पर passive voice का प्रयोग हुआ है । passive voice यहााँ इि बाि को िूधचि करिा है
कक posters कायथ नहीं कर रहे हैं बक्कक किया के प्राप्िकिाथ हैं। "use" verb का िही past participle form
"used" है ।
In the sentence, "Posters are _________ to promote...", the blank requires a past participle
form of the verb because of the passive voice construction. The passive voice here indicates
that posters are not doing the action but are the recipients of the action. The correct past
participle form of the verb "use" is "used."
22. B) 'On' का प्रयोग होगा तयोंकक जानकारी "passsed on" की जािी है , क्जिका अिथ होिा है
जानकारी आगे दे ना। जबकक 'Away' का अिथ है दरू , 'For' का अिथ है ककिी उद्दे श्य के सलए, और
'To' का अिथ है ककिी ठदशा में जाना, जो इि िंदभथ में िही नहीं है ।
 On' should be used as information is "passed on", which means to relay or forward the
information. Whereas, 'Away' means distant, 'For' implies purpose, and 'To' denotes
direction, which don't fit in this context.
23. B) Varied' का प्रयोग होगा तयोंकक "varied" का अिथ होिा है ववववध या अनेक प्रकार के। जैिा
कक िंदभथ में बिाया गया है कक पोथटिथ का उपयोग ववसभन्न उद्दे श्यों के सलए ककया जा िकिा
है - जैिे लोगों को ििकथ करने के सलए या उन्हें ककिी आगामी बबिी या घटना के बारे में
िूधचि करने के सलए। जबकक 'Little' का अिथ होिा है िोडा, 'Much' का अिथ है अधधक, और
'Similar' का अिथ है िमान, जो इि िंदभथ में िही नहीं है ।
 Varied' should be used because it means diverse or of different kinds. As described in the
context, posters can be used for various purposes - from alerting people to be cautious to

informing them about an upcoming sale or event. Whereas, 'Little' means not much,
'Much' implies a lot, and 'Similar' means alike, which don't fit in this context
24. B) 'And' का प्रयोग होगा तयोंकक पोथटर में आमिौर पर एक धचत्र होिा है और बहुि ही कम
शब्द होिे हैं। इिसलए, 'and' यहां दो ववचारों को जोडने के सलए िही शब्द है । जबकक 'Nor' का
अिथ होिा है ना ही, 'Yet' का अिथ है किर भी, और 'Also' का अिथ है भी, जो इि िंदभथ में िही
नहीं है ।
 And' should be used because posters typically include a picture and very few words. Here,
'and' connects the two ideas correctly. Whereas, 'Nor' implies neither/nor, 'Yet' means
nevertheless, and 'Also' means in addition to, which don't fit in this context.
25. A) ‘Caption' का प्रयोग होगा तयोंकक "caption" का अिथ होिा है एक छवव या धचत्र के नीचे ठदए
गए शब्द जो उिे व्याख्या करिे हैं। जबकक 'Anticipation' का अिथ है प्रत्याशा, 'Quotation' का
अिथ है उद्धरण, और 'Caution' का अिथ है ििकथिा, जो इि िंदभथ में िही नहीं है ।
 'Caption' should be used because it refers to the words provided under an image or
picture that explain it. Whereas, 'Anticipation' means expectation, 'Quotation' refers to
a cited passage, and 'Caution' implies warning, which don't fit in this context.
