Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
PM's offensive and pompous reply verged on the preposterous. It is not only in consonance with certain facts, but is also wholly out of keeping with disappointment for them that a government and people noted for their high culture and politeness should have committed this serious lapse and should have addressed the GOI in a language which is discourteous and unbecoming, even if it were addressed to a hostile country. Since it is addressed to a country that is referred as friendly, this can only be considered as an act of forgetfulness. The GOI realizes that the system of government in China is different from that prevailing in India. It is the right of the Chinese people to have a government of their choice, and no one else has a right to interfere
