Directions (71-75) Read the given passage carefully

and answer the questions that follow.

The withdrawal of Houthi rebels from three of

Yemen’s ports as part of the December 2018

ceasefire agreement should have been the basis for

further talks to expand the truce to other parts of the

country. But while the withdrawal was under way

last week, Houthis, who are reportedly getting

support from Iran, carried out a drone attack on a

Saudi pipeline, and in retaliation Riyadh launched

airstrikes on Sanaa, the capital city controlled by

the rebels, killing at least six civilians, including

children. Yemen now risks falling back to the pre-

ceasefire days of conflict with fighting having

broken out in parts of the government-controlled

south. What makes the resumption of hostilities

more dangerous is the regional angle. Tensions are

on the rise in West Asia over the U.S.-Iran standoff.

The U.S. had earlier warned against possible attacks

by either Iran or Iran-backed militias against

American interests or its allies in the region, and

has deployed an aircraft carrier and a bomber squad

to the Gulf. Immediately after the pipeline was

attacked, the Saudis blamed Iran for ordering it, an

allegation which both Tehran and the Houthis have

refuted. Whether Iran was actually behind the

attack or not, the incident and the subsequent Saudi

airstrikes show how the Yemeni conflict is

entangled with the regional rivalry between Iran

and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia started its Yemen

military campaign in March 2015 with the goal of

driving Houthis out of territories they captured.

Four years of war have devastated the country.

According to the UN, at least 7,000 civilians have

been killed. Thousands of others have died due to

disease, poor health care and malnutrition. The

blockade Saudi Arabia imposed on Yemen steadily

worsened the country’s hunger problem and health-

care crisis. The country is on the brink of a famine.

It’s a shame that even when the ceasefire was

holding, the Saudis did not halt bombing Yemen.

Saudi Arabia appears to be frustrated that it is not

able to defeat the Houthis even after years of heavy

bombing. The Houthis, on their part, continue to

provoke the Saudis through cross-border rocket and

drone attacks. The Yemenis are stuck in between.

The way forward is the Hodeida model. The

December ceasefire took effect in the Red Sea port

city and both the rebels and government forces

stuck to it till the rebels pulled out last week. They

should continue talks under international mediation and

replicate the Hodeida model elsewhere in Yemen. For

this to be achieved, the Houthis should decouple

themselves from the regional politics, and stay focused

on resolving differences with the government and

rebuilding the war-torn country, while Saudi Arabia

should get out of Yemen

71) Choose the option which is most opposite to the word in
