You are required to match statements from
columns 1 and 2 and find which of the following pairs of statement make sense meaningfully and grammatically.Solution
Solution Checking A-F Food allergy is a rare condition in which the immune system reacts inappropriate to a food, even in very small amounts. The highlighted word is an adjective word which is in incorrect form in usage making the whole sentence grammatically incorrect. Instead an adverb ‘inappropriately’ [adjective + ‘ly’] should be used to render the sentence grammatically correct. The correct sentence will be: Food allergy is a rare condition in which the immune system reacts inappropriately to a food, even in very small amounts. Checking B-D While exercise might be the last thing on your mind when headaches or migraines take hold, gentle stretches can help ease tensions and reduce symptoms. The sentence is grammatically and contextually correct and therefore is the correct answer. Checking C-E Aim to be more analytical and less emotional about money by scheduling times to check on your finances when you’re feeling calm and confused . The sentence is contextually wrong in the sense as the highlighted part conveys contrary meaning to the sentence. The word ‘confused‘ undermines the whole meaning attached to the sentence. Replacement of the word confused with composed can make sense to the sentence. Therefore the correct form would be: Aim to be more analytical and less emotional about money by scheduling times to check on your finances when you’re feeling calm and composed . Therefore option B is the correct answer.
