Read the following passage and answer question.
Rumour is the most primitive way of spreading stories--- by passing them on form mouth to mouth. But civilized countries in normal time have better sources of news than rumour. They have radio, television and newspapers. In times of stress and confusion, however, rumour emerges and becomes rife. At such time different kinds of news are in competition: the press, television and radio versus the grape vine. Especially the rumours spread when war requires censorship on many important matters. The customary news sources no longer give out enough information. Since the people cannot learn through legitimate channels all that they are anxious to learn, they pick up news whenever they can and when this happens, rumour thrives. Rumours are often repeated even by those who do not believe the tales. There is a fascination about them. The reason is that the cleverly designed rumour gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims-the fears, suspicions, forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to voice directly. Pessimistic rumours about defeat and disaster show that the people who repeat them are worried and anxious. Optimistic rumours about record production or peace soon coming paint to complacency or confidence and often to overconfidence.

the nature of rumour
the fascination of rumours
rumor as primitive man’s newspaper
the breeding place of rumours.
Ans.

alarm their hearers
