    Question

    In the following question, four sentences that form a

    coherent paragraph are given. Decide which of the sentences are grammatically and meaningfully correct and mark the answer option that contains these sentences.  1. A majority of Russians are ethnic Slavs, but Uzbeks, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, and other minorities make up much of the migrant worker population. 2. Tensions between Slavs and other ethnic groups often leave migrant workers the target of nationalistic fury. 3. According to a report compiled by the International Partnership for Human Rights and the International Federation for Human Rights, 568 Central Asian migrants were beaten and 220 killed among 2004 and 2012. 4. Though hate crimes and discrimination towards migrant workers in Sochi may not be anything new in Russia, but this exploitation poses serious threats not only to the laborers themselves, but also to Olympic and Russian institutionalism.
    A Only 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only 1, 2 & 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only 2, 3 & 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 1 & 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All have errors Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    3- replace AMONG with BETWEEN, as the former is used when referring to more than two things, while the latter is used to refer to only two things. Here, only two years 2004 and 2012 are being discussed, so BETWEEN would be more suitable. 4 - remove either THOUGH or BUT from the sentence, as the usage of both is redundant. Both THOUGH and BUT are used to show contradiction. Only 1 and 2 are grammatically correct, which makes (a) the right answer.
