WHILE the nation’s attention is sought to be _(1) (riveted)___ on an organised jumlagiri around the GST, a serious security situation has been developing in the Doklam sector on the China-Bhutan (India) border since June 16. Tempers are running high. The Chinese, always good at ___(2) (chalking)__ perceptions, have found a lame excuse to block the Kailash Mansarovar yatra through the Nathu La route. The Indian Army and the PLA have come in eyeball to eyeball confrontation, with neither side willing to __(3) (balance)___ first. In a show of __(4)_(humbleness)___, the Indian Army Chief has been asked to visit Bhutan. The Chinese side has provocatively sought to remind the Indian Army of ‘historic lessons’; the PLA spokesperson had deliberately directed his remarks at the Indian Army Chief, Gen Bipin Rawat, perhaps in the knowledge that the good General does not easily back away from a verbal duel.
If there is any ‘historic lesson’ for the two countries to learn, it is this: ensure that rhetorical excesses __(5)_(make)__ snowball into an unthought and unsought and unplanned conflict. We in India are far more vulnerable on this count because of our democratic habits and __(6)_(measures)__. In recent years in our domestic politics we have been prone to talk in macho terms; large chunks of our national media takes pride in talking tough and rough towards ‘enemies’ at home and abroad. The most formidable strategic challenge ___(7)_ (against)__ the political leadership is how not to fall in the trap of this hyper-nationalistic grandiloquence.

MANY scientific studies are flawed. Often, the reason is poor methodology. Sometimes, it is __(1)_(ranked)__ fraud. The conventional means of correction—a letter to the journal concerned—can take months. But there is now a/an __(2)_(obligation)__. PubPeer is a website that lets people comment anonymously on research papers and so, in theory, helps __(3)_(purge)_ the scientific literature of erroneous findings more speedily.
Since its launch in 2012, PubPeer has alerted scientists to __(4)_(align)_ and image manipulation in papers, and exposed cases of misconduct. But it has also attracted criticism, not least from journal editors, some of whom argue anonymity’s cloak lets vendettas flourish unchecked.

as in 1st para already told about PubPeer
blink – shut and open the eyes quickly.
makes sense here because of words – eyeball to eyeball confrontation
