Marhaba! If you are following the news lately, you would immediately realize that major TV networks and newspapers are focused on the ongoing elections in India. The elections in India will lead to the formation of a new parliament and will seat a new prime minister. Millions of Indians will go to the polls to determine the fate of their democratic system.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Given my fascination with the phases of these democratic elections (<\/b>\u0627\u0646\u062a\u062e\u0627\u0628\u0627\u062a \u062f\u064a\u0645\u0642\u0631\u0627\u0637\u064a\u0629<\/b>)<\/b> in India, today I am sharing an excerpt from a very interesting news article on these elections (\u0627\u0646\u062a\u062e\u0627\u0628\u0627\u062a)<\/b> from BBC Arabic<\/a>. Similar to the content and purpose of previous comprehension exercises, this is another reading comprehension exercise. After presenting the article, I have some questions for you to answer. I am positive that these comprehension exercises are helping you practice Arabic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please take time to read the text and the questions before you begin preparing your answers. Needless to say, your reading skills will improve and you will able to fluently read and understand different texts, phrases, and passages from a variety of sources. As usual, I will give you all some time to work on your answers and then I will post the answers to the questions.<\/p>\n
