GENERAL ENGLISHDIRECTIONS (Qs. 41-52): Read the following passage carefully and answer thequestions given below it. Certain words/phrases are printed in bold to help you tolocate them while answering some of the questions.

In the second week of August 1998, just a few days after the incidents of bombingthe US embassies in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam, a high-powered, brain-stormingsession was held near Washington D.C., to discuss various aspects of terrorism. Themeeting was attended by ten of America’s leading experts in various fields such asgerm and chemical warfare, public health, disease control and also by the doctorsand the law-enforcing officers. Being asked to describe the horror of possible bio-attack, one of the experts narrated the following gloomy scenario.

A culprit in a crowded business centre or in a busy shopping mall of a townempties a test tube containing some fluid, which in turn creates an unseen cloud ofgerm of a dreaded disease like anthrax capable of inflicting a horrible death within 5days on any one who inhales it. At first 500, or so victims feel that they have mildinfluenza which may recede after a day or two. Then the symptoms return again andtheir lungs start filling with fluid. They rush to local hospitals for treatment, but thepanic-stricken people may find that the medicare services run quickly out of drugsdue to excessive demand. But no one would be able to realise that a terrorist attackhas occurred. One cannot deny the possibility that the germ involved would be ofcontagious variety capable of causing an epidermic. The meeting concluded that suchattacks, apart from causing immediate human tragedy, would have dire long-termeffects on the political and social fabric of a country by way of ending people’s trust onthe competence of the government.

The experts also said that the bombs used in Kenya and Tanzania were of theold-fashion variety and involved quantities of high explosives, but new terrorism willprove to be more deadly and probably more elusive than hijacking an aeroplane or agelignite of previous decades. According to Bruce Hoffman, an American specialist onpolitical violence, old terrorism generally had a specific manifesto - to overthrow acolonial power or the capitalist system and so on. These terrorists were not shy aboutplanting a bomb or hijacking an aircraft and they set some limit to their brutality.Killing so many innocent people might turn their natural supporters off. Politicalterrorist? want a lot of people watching but not a lot of people dead. “Old terrorismsought to change the world while the new sort is often practised by those who believethat the world has gone beyond redemption”, he added.

Hoffman says, “New terrorism has no long-term agenda but is ruthless in itsshort-term intentions. It is often just a cacophonous cry of protest or an outburst ofreligious intolerance or a protest against the West in general and the US in particular.Its perpetrators may be religious fanatics or diehard opponent of a government andsee no reason to show restraint. They are simply intent on inflicting the maximumamount of pain on the victim.”

41. In the context of the passage,, the culprit’s act of emptying a test tube containingsome fluid can be classified as1) a terrorist attack 2) an epidemic of a dreaded disease3) a natural calamity 4) panic created by an imaginary event5) None

42. In what way would the new terrorism be different from that of the earlier years ?A. More dangerous and less bafflingB. More hazardous for victimsC. Less complicated for terrorists1) A and C only 2) B and C only 3) A and B only 4) All the three 5) None
