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
the question, as mentioned in the passage.

II) 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 previous week.

territories they captured.

II) The U.S. had warned against probable 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 Indian ocean.
III) It was not confirmed if Iran was actually behind the
attack or not, but the subsequent Saudi airstrikes show how
the Yemeni conflict is entangled with the regional rivalry
between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
