    Solution

    The correct combinations are A-F, B-D & C-E. A-F – The clause "there’s ten times more below" in F completes the thought introduced in A about the iceberg. The sentence seeks to convey that for every visible part of an iceberg, a much larger portion remains submerged. "For every bit of the iceberg above the water’s surface, there’s ten times more below." B-D – The phrase "address the structural impediments to growth" in D logically follows B, completing the idea of what the budget's medium-term strategy should focus on. The sentence suggests that the budget must plan to resolve the barriers to economic progress. "The budget must clearly articulate a medium-term strategy to address the structural impediments to growth." C-E – The phrase "vulnerable to climate change, facing disasters like landslides and floods" in E explains the growing challenges faced by developing countries, which aligns with the idea presented in C. The sentence highlights the increasing climate risks for developing nations, including India. "Developing countries, including India, are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, facing disasters like landslides and floods."
