Q.1. (A) Read and understand the passage and complete the activities given below. 10

1. Choose the correct alternative and complete the sentence. 2

i) As a player Saina has improved consistently over a period of ______________.

a) month

b) time

c) year

ii) This strategy looks easy but is difficult to ______________.

a) implement

b) apply

c) use

F or Indian badminton, it is one of the best occasions  in recent times to raise a toast. For Saina Nehwal,  personally, it has been three great Weeks of consistent  performance. Basically there are three aspects that  go into the making a badminton star like in most other  sports-—technical, physical and mental. Abundance  of all three attributes is vital to be among the best in  the world. She has it all. That is the major difference  between her and the other Indian girls. Most often,  they have just two of these qualities.  -Saina is exceptional. She is technically sound,  physically fit and mentally strong which gives her an  edge over others. Another great quality is her self-  belief and ‘never say-die’ attitude. She does not give  up easily even When the odds are against her. In a  sport like badminton, her performances are all the  more creditable since the game is physically so  demanding.  Personally, I have a very high regard for Indian  sports women who excel at the highest level since they  face a lot more challenges compared to men because  of the nature of our society» This is more so during the  early phase of their career and the parents have to  make a lot of sacrifices to travel with them for their  practice sessions Well as tournaments.  As a player Saina has improved consistently  over a period of time. She has started depending mainly  on her low serves which straightaway gives her an  advantage to go on the offensive. Also at times she  gets a quick point when the opponents make an error  on the service returnitself. This strategy looks easy  but is difficult to implement since one can easily get  caught if the player is not fast enough to respond to a  good return of serve. She is extremely confident at  the net While dribbling which gives her a lot of weak  mid-court returns. Again this is easier said than done.  It needs hours and hours of tireless practice to master  the dribble. She has a good hit as well which is so  important to finish a rally and score a point. She is  prepared to Wait for the right opportunities to finish  the rally. Sometimes it could present itself in the second     or third stroke itself and on many occasions one might  have to wait longer. This requires patience and a lot of  self confidence in stroke-making.
