C. Fortunately, there was no death in the violence in Bareilly, while in Hyderabad only three people were killed.

E. Communal violence has become so endemic to the polity of India that it has ceased to attract much attention outside its immediate area of impact, or unless it crosses very high levels of fatality and barbarity.
Request to question posters- If possible avoid giving options. This would help in the way that the solver would have to deduce without looking at the options which is always advisable.

OA for SET-1
1.a
B is the obvious opener introducing the subject, A forms a mandatory pair with B, as A tells about purples black magic. The word 'malevolent' creates a connection between the two sentences. C elaborates the topic by telling us relevance of black magic in fiction and in modern times. Further, D adds some more information to it.
2.c
D is the opener, because it introduces the subject 'movie camera' - a type of photographic camera. A pairs up by providing a contrast to it, B provides some important input and C provides some information about its features.
3.d
The correct sequence is CBDA. C is the obvious opener for the given subject 'The mall culture'. B expands the topic further by telling us about the shrewd strategy followed by the big malls. D is closely linked to B as it adds further to what is being discussed in B, A forms the conclusion.
