Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question given after it.

Some statements are routinely issued by the government of the day and they become news. They become news not necessarily because they are newsworthy, but because they are headlined by the newspapers. Let us examine some of these statements. No one will be allowed to take law into his own hands; the corrupt will be dealt with firmly; indiscipline will not be tolerated whether it is in a campus or in a political outfit; India will not compromise on its principles and so on and so forth. These have been spoken on innumerable occasions and have been heard on umpteen occasions and will continue to be spoken and heard. They have become so routinely stale that they have ceased to convey any meaning to anyone. These statements are necessary evils of non-governance or ill-governance. Yet they make news and we have the mortification of having to encounter them every morning in bold prints. What do they actually mean when they say that they will not allow anyone to take law into his own hands? Law, in its various forms, is not only taken into hands, but is also wantonly disregarded. This is not only tolerated, but is often given respectability too. If it were not so, we would not have been seeing the mushrooming of people with dubious character on the ascendancy right in our midst. Today, words speak, actions do not.

Q. According to the passage, why is the author mortified by what he encounters every morning in bold prints?

India's national flower, the lotus, is known by various names such as the Indian Lotus, Sacred Lotus, Bean of India or simply the lotus. In India, it is associated with several Hindu mythological deities such as Brahma, Saraswati and Lakshmi and is used for many religious purposes. Botanically speaking, it is an aquatic flowering plant which flowers for one or more years. It is often mistaken for a water lily which has a completely different structure. The water lily is majorly white in colour with slight hues of other colours too.

Another interesting fact about this splendid flower is that the common Egyptian ''white'' lotus is actually a water lily. The white lotus opens when the sun sets, while the blue water lily opens in the morning. The white lotus is a plant growing in wetland areas with water of two meters in depth which blooms in the night. The lotus flower symbolises awakening to the spiritual reality in Hinduism.

One thing which is worth noting about the lotus flower is that it is unstained even though it grows in the mud, which has become a metaphor for many Indians who battle many hardships and adverse circumstances to attain success and prosperity.

An earthquake is a tremor of high intensity in the earth's surface caused by the action of the end-genetic forces of the earth. It causes immense damage to life and property of the region if its intensity is measured as being above 7 on the Richter scale. Studies have shown that over 80% of our country's area comes under the moderate and high seismic zones.

In the past, a number of devastating earthquakes have occurred. Earthquakes measuring more than 7 on Richter scale in the sea bed may produce high sea waves called tsunamis. Such tsunamis were caused due to the earthquake near Sumatra coast on 26th December, 2004, which led to a loss of more than 5 lakh people in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India. In India, heavy damage to life and property was caused in Andaman-Nicobar islands and Tamil Nadu coast. Severity of the tsunamis was a little minimised along the coasts having wider continental shelves and luxuriant growth of mangrove forests. Since Andaman area lies in the high seismic zone, the recurrence of tsunamis cannot be ruled out if there is a high-intensity earthquake. The need is early warning system, planting of mangroves and building of protection walls.
