Directions (1-10): 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 are suggested, one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out, the appropriate word in each case.
In an upper-class drawing room in Mumbai, a dozen or so ……(1)…… the city’s intelligentsia is ……(2)…… on the dregs of what was live-wire party an hour ago. Poets, editors, writers, filmmakers, all card-carrying members of the rich and powerful, now at this late hour, on their ninth drink, are ……(3)…… in what Indians are best known to do: media bashing armchair and name-calling.
Inevitably the talk turns to Tehelka, and its managing director and editor-in-chief, Tarun Tejpal, and the party quickly degenerate into an orgy of guilt and shame and that peculiar habit of the Indian intelligentsia: passing the buck, with everyone present attacking his neighbor for not supporting Tejpal morel.

The abiding irony in all this is that unlike his armchair supporters in the middle class, who rave and rant on his behalf, but do nothing else, Tejpal displays forbearance. “The fact that I am essentially a literary animal and that my entire sensibility has been shaped by literature. I’m not a black-and-white person. I’m a ……(10)…… who understands the greys,” he says to me at a coffee shop, over tea.
