Question

    In each of the following questions, two columns are given containing three sentences/ phrases each. A sentence or phrase from the first column may or may not connect with another sentence/ phrase from the second column to make a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Each question has five options, four of which display the sequence (s) in which the sentences/ phrases can be joined to form a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. If none of the options given forms a correct sentence after combination, mark (E), ie, ‘None of these’ as your answer.

    A A-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B-F and C-E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A-F and B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sentence A- A is a dependent clause. So, an independent clause is likely to follow it. F is an independent clause, but does not make a comprehensive meaning with A. So, A does not have a pair. Sentence B- B is also a dependent clause, but does not pair with F because F is in past tense and A is in the present tense, and it talks about something that could happen in the future. Sentence C- C is an independent clause. So, a dependent clause is likely  to follow it. D and E are dependent clauses, but E does not have a connector which connects the two sentences well. D follows C perfectly. So, C-D is the correct pair.
