Hello Aspirants.
Welcome to Online English Section with explanation in Affairs Cloud.com. Here we are creating question sample in Cloze test, which is BASED ON IBPS PO/CLERK/LIC AAO/RRB & SSC CGL EXAM and other competitive exams !!!

When India’s Light Combat Aircraft (LCA),tejas , was finally..(1)..into the Indian Air Force (IAF), two things seemed remarkable. One was that only a couple of the planes, over a dozen short of a full squadron, had actually been..(2).. to the IAF, and this too 22 years after the first was originally supposed to have been handed over, thus..(3).. a faint air of anachronism. The other was..(4).. only to the LCA cognoscenti: the bird which had been handed over was probably only the 20th LCA to have been made by the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). The question arises: how soon can HAL deliver more and in what numbers?It is not as if the two Tejases that have been delivered have been..(5).. with the weapon systems they are supposed to carry and have got full operational ..(6).. and are squadron-ready. Probably not: it will take more than two Tejases to make a squadron. HAL is certainly not about to spit out these planes a squadron at a time so we have them flying ..(7)..in the same numbers as we had MiGs, or anywhere near that number, in a hurry. According to available reports, two more will join in about a month.Coincidentally, about a couple of weeks before the Tejases roll-out, another fighter plane, the Gripen E, made by the Swedish company Saab, that had been in development for almost the same span of time, was being..(8).. in Europe. It is a plane that can carry more fuel, heavier weapons payload, and is easily more..(9).. than Tejas, on a platform that is already proven. Tejas is not quite there, yet. Air force test pilots who have flown the plane gush that its control harmony is really good, but the radar, the gunsights? They may have been good enough for the late nineties, possibly even in the early 2000s, but the fact remains that the Tejas is not a fifth-generation fighter jet. People who have seen the plane grow baby legs, and metamorphose with compound delta wings and take flight, say that if push comes to..(10).., it could possibly be a four-and-a-quarter generation fighter jet at the most. Although it presents a smaller cross section than the MiG-29, it is hardly stealthy enough.
