Answer 1

Hint: It must be noted that the points that are given to fill the passage follow the same order as the order in which the blanks are placed in the passage.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the given question we need to fill in the blanks of the paragraph given.
To do this, let us first understand what is meant by a report. A report is an important medium of communication, commonly used by newspapers, radio, and other means of information distribution. It is essential that we note that a report must be simple, precise, and to the point, while addressing five main questions of who, what, where, when, and why.
In this question, let us first read the note and then prepare a sample paragraph.

Now, let us fill in the blanks, one by one with the most appropriate words from our understanding.
a) crashed into a ditch
b) a local bus that was being driven at a high speed
c) severed, hit a tree and overturned killing
d) Mohinder Singh, aged 35 and
e) other people who were injured were taken to the hospital

The answers for each of the blanks are given in different points. The answer for ‘a’ is given in the second point of the note. The answers to ‘b’ and ‘c’ are given in the third point and the answer to ‘d’ is given in the fourth point. Finally, the answer to ‘e’ is given in the last point of the note.

Note: In a report, we must note that the order of the points given would be very similar to the order in the paragraph. Cross-check the answer and if you feel that anything is missing in it, check it once again with the points.
