Amidst creeping inflation and a falling rupee, it would seem that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) was left with ___1___ option but to hike the repo rate by 25 basis points. India is not anywhere near the situation it faced in September 2013 when taper tantrums roiled the rupee and led to FIIs rushing for the exit door, but there are some troubling similarities. FIIs ___2___ net sellers in recent months, exiting out of emerging markets to the safety of the dollar, with the Euro Zone decelerating and exhibiting signs of financial instability.

A 12 per cent rise in oil prices since the last MPC meet in April to $76 a barrel has played a role in pushing the rupee down by 5 per cent since its January value, to ₹67 today.

Directions: The following five sentences have to be arranged in the proper sequence, so as to form a meaningful paragraph. On the basis of your sequencing, answer the questions that follow
1. The all-digital instrument cluster gets a gear indicator.
2. The X-Blade gets hazard lights as well.
3. A chunky exhaust garnished with a bit of shine on the side gives the motorcycle some much-needed width at the rear and a tyre-hugger tops off the ‘performance-bike’ look.
4. The rest of the features are the usual bunch— horizontal rev counter on top, speedo, odo, trip meters, fuel indicator, etc.
5. Switchgear is all right, but what the X-Blade misses out on is an engine-kill switch, which could’ve been included.
