What did the grasshopper do in the summers?

Directions: Read the passage given below carefully and answer the question that follows:

A lazy grasshopper laughed at a little ant as she was always busy gathering food. “Why are you working so hard?” he asked, “come into the sunshine and listen to my cheerful song.” But the ant went on with her work. She said, “I am lining a store for the winter. Sunny days will not last forever.” “Winter is so far away yet.” laughed back the grasshopper. When the winter came, the ant settled down in her cozy house. She had plenty of food to last the whole winter. The grasshopper had nothing to eat so; he went to the ant and begged her for a little corn. “No”, replied the ant, “you laughed at me when I worked. You yourself sang through the summer. So, you better dance the winter away.” Therefore, idleness is a curse.

Which of the following words are an antonym of the word 'strategic'?

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:

Airborne soldiers on D-Day took disproportionately high casualties compared to the beach landings (with the exception of Omaha) while the airborne attack on Arnheim proved to be a failure. The success of the Allies in using parachute regiments to capture airstrips in Burma was only due to the involvement of ground forces as well as airborne troops. In the western sector of Europe, the speed of the Allies advance was such that the time to plan and co-ordinate a massed airborne raid was never available. Most senior military commanders saw the role of the airborne troops simply as to seize strategic sites (such as bridges in the example at Arnheim) and to hold them until ground troops arrived. In 'Operation Varsity', airborne troops held a ridge overlooking the River Rhine to give support to the ground troops who needed to cross the river before moving on. In this example, the paratroopers were also expected to fight off any German attack which would hinder the speed of the crossing of the River Rhine. On many occasions, paratroopers were used as normal infantrymen. This happened in both the European conflict as well as in the Pacific. During the Battle of the Bulge, Eisenhower used three airborne divisions as infantry units to fight off the German counter-offensives. In the Philippines, the US 11^th Airborne Division fought as regular infantrymen.

Where were the airborne divisions used by Eisenhower as infantry units to fight off the German counter-offensives?
