DIRECTIONS: (Question No. 21 to 26) In this section two short passages have been given. There are several questions based on
it. Read the passages and answer the questions based on it.
Passage I
When we speak of “Freedom of Press”. We usually mean it in a very technical sense. That is, we mean freedom from direction or
censorship from the Government. In India, the press is free in this restricted sense. But the real restrictions on the press come from (1)
the advertisers from whom it gets money and (2) the man or company who owns the newspaper. So even if an editor dares to support
a public policy like a ban on smoking in public places, he may not always be successful in pursuing this because his paper may be
owned by a company which produces cigarettes. Such restrictions are often invisible unlike Government censorship, and are worse.

21. The meaning of the phrase “Freedom of Press” in the passage is:
(1) Ability of the newspapers to criticize the Government
(2) The ability of the newspapers to express independent views
