English Test for SBI PO Prelims Exam Set – 03

Directions(1-5): In the passage given below there are 5 blanks. Every blank has four alternative words given in options (A),(B),(C), and (D). You have to tell which word is APPROPRIATE according to the context. If all are appropriate then mark your answer as ā€œEā€.

The case of a BJP Yuva Morcha functionary being arrested in West Bengal for sharing a ___1___ image of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee demonstrates how wrong and needlessly oppressive legal processes can turn out to be. The police in Howrah registered a case and arrested Priyanka Sharma under irrelevant and non-existent provisions, a magistrate showed little application of mind while remanding her to judicial custody, and even the Supreme Court, while ordering her immediate release, did not recognise sufficiently the ___2___ manner in which the law was being used. It is a matter of some consolation that the apex court observed a day later that the arrest was arbitraryand ___3___ the West Bengal government for delaying Ms. Sharmaā€™s release for technical reasons. The police, apparently realising that there was no offence in the first place, has filed a closure report terming the complaint a ā€˜mistake of factā€™. It is a reflection of the level of ___4___ between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the BJP in the midst of a violence-marred, multi-phase election that the police entertained a complaint from a Trinamool Congress activist and booked Ms. Sharma for criminal defamation and offences under the provisions of the Information Technology Act. It is possible that some considered the morphed image ā€” in which Ms. Banerjeeā€™s face was appended to an actorā€™s photograph at a museum event in New York ā€” defamatory. But it is unclear how the police could arrest someone for ___5___ based on a third partyā€™s complaint.
