Directions (Q.No. 21-25) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
With Brexit negotiations set to commence soon, the result will also raise fundamental questions about Britan's Brexit strategy, though perhaps not in the way some had foreseen. The collapse of support for the right-wing UK Independence party had been expected to benefit just the Conservatives, but labour gained from them too, suggesting that the disillusionment that UKIP in part reflected did not necessary involve policies focused around cutting immigration. While Labour has pledged "fair rules and reasonable management of migration", its immigration strategy would be big departure from the tough Conservative approach, making allowances for family reunions and a more welcoming environment for students. However, the results also suggested that there was limited public appetite for the Liberal Democrat pledge to hold a second referendum on the terms of the Brexit deal, as the party failed to make the comeback it had hoped to.
