Question 91 MCQ 2015 Medium MCQ +3.00 marks · -1.00 negative

Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. "A language reveals the attitudes of the people who use and shape it. And a whole declension of ___(i)___ terminology can be found in the language in which inter-racial relations have been described inside Britain. At first, we were told, the goal was 'integration'. Now this word rapidly came to mean '___(ii)___': a black man could only become integrated when he started behaving like a white one. After 'integration' came the ___(iii)___ of 'racial harmony'. Now once again, this sounded virtuous and desirable, but what it meant in practice was that blacks should be persuaded to live peaceably with whites, in spite of all the injustices done to them every day. The call for 'racial harmony' was simply an invitation to shut up and smile while nothing was done about our grievances. And now there's a new catchword: 'multiculturalism'. In our schools, this means little more than teaching the kids a few bongo rhythms, how to tie a sari and so forth. In the police training programme, it means telling cadets that black people are so 'culturally different' that they can't help making trouble. Multiculturalism is the latest token gesture towards Britain's blacks; and it ought to be exposed, like 'integration' and 'racial harmony', for the ___(iv)___ it is." In the above passage identify the missing words. Choose one word from each column for the 4 blanks. (i): astounding / worrisome / patronizing / critical (ii): organization / consolidation / assimilation / association (iii): time / place / opportunity / concept (iv): sham / joy / truth / law
