The author wants to suggest that the story of neither the left nor the right seems to have any relationship with the ordinary citizens. Hence, option D is the correct choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Answer (a)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any program is &#8216;for the people&#8217;. Hence, &#8216;for&#8217; is the best fit for the given blank.
