QUESTION
A paragraph is given below from which the last sentence has been deleted. From the given options, choose the one that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.
What’s interesting is that very little of the outrage focuses on the assassination itself. By now, the West has accepted that Israelis will track down and assassinate terrorists no matter where in the world they hide. And, in the post 9/11 era, few people seem to mind. It is widely accepted that terrorists can rarely be brought to justice and convicted by courts of law. ___________________
(a) Last month an 11-member hit team dispatched by Israel’s Mossad traveled to Dubai and assassinated Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a Hamas military commander.
(b) All this has lessons for India.
(c) So, an assassination often seems like the most effective option.
(d) America infiltrates terror groups, encourages them to fight with each other, kidnaps and whisks away important terrorists.
ANSWER
C The paragraph describes the reaction of the west towards the assassination. The tone of the passage seems to be justifying this reaction. Thus (c) is the best answer as it provides the conclusion the argument on why assassinations are not viewed with shock or horror.
