English Language
Direction:- Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words/ Phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering
some of the questions .
The resignation speech of Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, with his estranged Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini beside him, was an acknowledgement of all that could go wrong with an
opportunistic alliance between a far-right nativist party and a professed ideology-less anti-
establishment group. When the 5-Star Movement led by comedian Beppe Grillo and Mr. Salvini‘s
League joined hands after last year‘s elections in which no party got majority, the plan was to keep
establishment parties away and offer a populist alternative. But for Mr. Conte, the technocrat Prime
Minister who is not a member of any party, governance was not easy with contradictions within the
coalition often coming to the fore. While the 5-Star Movement lacked any ideological alternative to
offer other than its anger towards Italy‘s centre-left and conservative establishment parties, Mr.
Salvini pushed for his party‘s ―Italy-first‖, anti-immigrant, anti-EU agenda. As Interior Minister, he
banned migrant ships. He also challenged the EU fiscal orthodoxy by calling for tax cuts and
spending rises, which appealed to the electorate still reeling under the effects of the debt crisis. The
League party, a junior member in the coalition, came first in Italy in the election to the EU Parliament
with 34% vote. The current crisis was triggered by Mr. Salvini‘s decision to withdraw from the
coalition. With opinion polls suggesting that the League could get up to 38% of the popular vote if
polls are held soon, Mr. Salvini is on course to become Prime Minister. But may be not immediately.
The 5-Star Movement has indicated that it is open for talks with the centrist Democratic Party. If
they stitch up an alliance, the League will be out of power for at least three years. But the problem
is that even if another coalition is formed, it would not be the answer to the country‘s problems. An
alliance between the 5-Star Movement and the Democrats would be another odd marriage, like the
populist coalition that collapsed just now. It would also allow Mr. Salvini to pursue his hard-line
nationalist politics freely from the opposition, preparing himself for the next election. In fact Mr.
Salvini‘s rise, from a regional leader in northern Italy to a popular nationalist political figure now, is
also the story of Italy‘s political and economic crisis. When establishment parties shy away from
addressing structural economic issues, the crisis opens avenues for anti-establishment forces.
Italy‘s political centre is crumbling.

While complex in the extreme, Derrida‘s work has proven to be a particularly influential approach to
the analysis of the ways in which language structures our understanding of ourselves and the world
we inhabit, an approach he termed deconstruction. In its simplest formulation, deconstruction can be
taken to refer to a methodological strategy which seeks to uncover layers of hidden meaning in a
text that have been denied or suppressed._____

is not difficult to see why this is the case.
2. It is this thought of originary complexity that sets Derrida's work in motion, and from which all of its
terms are derived, including "deconstruction".

4. He achieved this by conducting thorough, careful, sensitive, and yet transformational readings of
philosophical and literary texts, to determine what aspects of those texts run counter to their
