Directions: In the questions given below, a blank has been provided for each and needs to be filled with the appropriate word. Choose the best option among the given ones.
Home-grown militancy is a reflection of __________, and the alarming reports of its revival demand a security strategy as well as a political outreach.
Options
- AAlienation
- BSubordinatino
- CColonialism
- DSecession
Correct answer
A. Alienation
Step-by-step solution
The statement talks about home-grown militancy/terrorism and what it indicates.
We can eliminate subordination which means submission as terrorism implies the opposite and is used to indicate rebellion/strength/anger but not submission.
Colonialism is absurd as it a concept of the past.
Secession means to breakaway/withdraw from something and while this may be one of the aims but does not indicate it.
Only alienation meaning disaffection/estrangement fits in. It conveys that home grown militancy points towards a feeling of resentment/disaffection of the militants with respect to their nation.
Hence, option A is correct.
