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 (5), i.e., ‘None of these’ as your answer.

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

    Solution

    A-E: "The States and the Centre must set aside their political differences and stay the course collectively." (This makes sense as it suggests collaboration.) B-D: "The causes of the pollution crisis are multi-layered and will yield results only gradually." (This is also a grammatically correct sentence describing the complexity of the pollution crisis.) Other combinations do not create correct sentences, so the correct answer is option 2.
