Question

can you answer this: II. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 10
(1) The issue of road rage requires serious attention. Day by day, it is becoming a great
concern. Call it the negligence of the government or the rashness of the drivers, the
underlying fact is that at the end of the day, the common man is the one who suffers the most. The
commoner driving a two-wheeler who is hit by a speeding SUV, even though the former was
following the traffic rules, has nowhere to go in order to seek redressal for his grievances or his
injury. A recent case in point is the accident caused by the speeding luxury car owned by
HemaMalini. A family of four driving a modest Alto was hit by the over speeding car driven
by the actress's driver. It resulted in the death of the youngest child of the family and several
injuries to the other family members. To add insult to injury, Malini posted negative comments
on a famous social networking website.
(2) Part of the problem lies with the attitude and mentality of the driver behind the
steering wheel. The car is a personal vehicle and one possesses the freedom to drive it
independently and at one's own will. But one must understand that the road on which one
drives is open to the public. This blurring of the dichotomy between the public and the
private leads to reckless behavior on the roads. Respect for the elderly and pedestrians, so
common in countries abroad, is a thing of rarity to be found in our land. A little consideration to
road rules and adoption of simple safety measures such as fastening of the seat belt can go a long
way in reducing this menace.
