The entry of foreign media has to be ______ by strict rules. Any intention to ______ the country politically or economically or any attempt at cultural ______ in order to make the country a slave to the designs of international powers would not be ______. If the foreign media is keen on making a presence on the Indian soil, respect for the country’s unity and ______ is essential.

country’s unity and ______ is essential.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. integrity.

  1. Accountability means the fact or condition of being responsible.
  2. Responsibility means the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone.
  3. Integrity means the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.
  4. Vulnerability means the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.

The sentence uses 'unity' and tries to add another word that is most relatable to the former noun. As 'unity' implies a sense of rigidity and togetherness, 'integrity' would become the appropriate fill for the blank because it's meaning can be juxtaposed with that of 'unity', altogether making complete sense under the context of the given statement.
