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

    Solution

    A-F is the correct pairing. A ("The research sought to decipher how brains...") is an independent clause that introduces the subject of the research. F ("are wired and the signals underlying healthy brain functions") completes the thought and adds detail about what the research aims to understand. Together, they form a coherent and grammatically correct sentence: "The research sought to decipher how brains are wired and the signals underlying healthy brain functions." Other options either do not form correct pairs or are incomplete.
