Although the phrase ?no telling" is missing in option A, yet in View of a comparative analysis with the rest three options. A, i.e. ?whether the subsequent government will do so? stands most appropriate. Option seems closer to the correct version but the words ?whether the subsequent one will do? has been copied from the source sentence as it is. 1733 2 (B). Crazy: Insane LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVES (A) Primafaet?e both the words seem to he antonymous. Since this is a question of comprehension, the examinec is expected to feel the pulse of it, and naturally that way 'dulcet? will give ironical sense of ?sweet and soothing?. Hence the correct answer is (B) - Crazy: Insane. Here both the terms stand in the same relationship as the case in point i.e. 'Duleet: Raucous' because the ?rst term has the implied meaning of the following ?the second. (B) In a second linguistic consideration. the resemblance can be drawn on the basis of the following analogy: Anything which is duleet is sweet- therefore, sweetness may lead to indulgence or engagement in a situatiom?or in a given thing similarly in a crazy situation the person goes wide and crazy when one is over occupied by between Meaning of 'dulcet'{ac{iectfve) l-(especially of sound) sweet and soothing (often used ironically).

Now. in a situation of insanity also the noisy behavior, disorderly conduct or violent temperament may also be seen. It is on the basis of this analogy that the closest resemblance of the pairing words is found in the ?crazy-insane' situation as provided under option of the given question. Therefore. the question is perfectly right. 1739 Foreign i. Perusal of the passage gives the Please refer to the passage in the question paper. exchange View given as-3 (C) Option.

Therefore, assertion basically refers to a desirable social condition under which any person is supposed to be given freedom of speech and expression. As far as the reason part is concerned. it refers to one of the desirable social objectives behind the freedom of speech and expression. The Freedom of speech and expression postulates certain social objectives like- information dissemination, spreading awareness, communicating the truth etc. Therefore option is right.
