We are in a period of constant (6)_________ [balance]. Not just the Brexit outcome, or the victory of US President Donald Trump, or the mighty sweeping mandate of the Uttar Pradesh elections, but even the outcome of more mundane stuff like football matches and cinema awards is filled with unexpected drama these days.
The New England Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons in a stunning last-minute comeback in the football Super Bowl last month. They were not supposed to win, and certainly not from a position of near-certain defeat. So also, at the Oscars, the wrong movie was announced as the winner of best picture. Such (7)_______ [outcomes] don’t happen, especially not at carefully choreographed and rehearsed events with billions watching on live television.
In this sequence, (8)______ [hire] up one more outcome at the G20 meeting of finance ministers in Germany last week. If there’s one thing that all G20 members agree to, it is commitment to free trade. In this meeting, the communiqué dropped the traditional pledge of G20 members against protectionism. This is the first time that commitment to free trade has been silently dropped, and it is obviously at the insistence of the US. The fact that the US view (9)______ [proved] over 19 other members, including the European Union, India and China, shows not just its own clout, but perhaps that other members also secretly subscribe to raising trade barriers. What is remarkable is that this G20 communiqué is so different from the one issued by it just six months ago in Hangzhou, China. That’s quite a turnaround, and protectionist sentiment might now snowball.
Indeed, in the seven years since 2010, the World Trade Organization (WTO) reports that protectionist measures have risen by 400%. According to the WTO, there are more than 2,200 measures in place worldwide which are anti-free trade in (10)_______ [texture] . These might be in the form of anti-dumping or safeguard duties, or compulsory domestic procurement requirements from governments, which put foreign competitors at a disadvantage, and thus curb free trade. This trend will probably accelerate as countries pursue copycat protectionist policies.

B) surrendered
C) prevailed
D) curb

to social media sites pe hum log yehi dekhte hai ki logo ne kya post kiya hai.. similarly author ye dekhta hai ki kya kisi aur ne bhi ‘existing investment ideas’ jo uska idea hai fb/twitter/whatsapp pe mention kiya hai?? agar kiya hai to author ka confidence aur badh jayega ki uska idea accha hai..
lekin kisi ki posts dekh k hum ye nhi keh sakte with surety that ki wo significant hoga hi hoga..isliye significance nhi hoga,,
