Hi friend's we are today discussing the vocabulary from the Hindu Editorial dated 19 November 2020.
Article is about New challenges: On India and Joe Biden
- Contentious - causing, involving, or likely to cause disagreement and argument:
Eg: She has some very contentious views on education
Hindu Usage: India must not fight shy of engaging with the Biden administration on contentious issues
- shy away from - to avoid something that you dislike, fear, or do not feel confident about
Eg: I've never shied away from hard work.
Hindu Usage: Critical and recent comments made by Mr. Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris over Jammu and Kashmir, the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and actions against NGOs should not make the Modi government shy from engaging with the U.S. on these issues.
- Cut out - remove, exclude, or stop eating or doing something.
Hindu Usage: On COVID-19, Mr. Biden and Mr. Modi have their work cut out, given that the U.S. (over 11 million cases) and India (over 8 million cases) remain the top two worst affected countries, and showing daily increases.
- Afflicted - If a problem or illness afflicts a person or thing, they suffer from it.
Eg: It is an illness that afflicts women more than men
Hindu Usage: Making affordable vaccines available to their afflicted populations will be the immediate challenge.
