LIC AAO/SBI PO Pre Mini Mock-61

Direction: In the following passage there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. These numbers are printed below the passage and against each, five words/phrases are suggested, one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case.

This bird’s-eye view indeed paints a good picture. But the ringside view suggests that India hasn’t yet managed to increase its pool of medal-winning sports. The gains, as seen above, have surely been many. But a double-digit tally still seems an (1) task. India will once again turn to disciplines such as shooting, wrestling, archery and badminton. Abhinav Bindra, who set the gold standard in 2008; Gagan Narang, a bronze medallist in 2012; and Jitu Rai, who needs only the Olympic title to complete his rich (2), will lead the charge in shooting. Deepika Kumari, the 22-year-old archer who wilted under pressure last time around, is much stronger. Her performance in both the individual and team (3) events will be keenly watched. Saina Nehwal is probably at the peak of her career, and will seek to upgrade the badminton bronze from London. Wrestling, which has (4) India three medals in the past two Olympics, will send its biggest-ever squad of eight, including Yogeshwar Dutt, a bronze-winner from London. But two controversies involving Narsingh Yadav have taken out much of the sheen. If a feud with two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar over the Rio berth wasn’t enough, a doping scandal, in which he was ultimately (5), added to the trauma. The much-improved men’s hockey team, the mixed-doubles duo of Rohan Bopanna and Sania Mirza, and the boxing trio of Shiva Thapa, Manoj Kumar and Vikas Krishan offer the outside bets. There is certainly an increased buzz. How much of it translates to on-field performance will be seen over the next few weeks.
