    Question

    In each of the following questions, three statements are given. For each question, three starters are also given which can be used to integrate all three statements into a meaningful and coherent composition. Select a starter or starters from the following options that can be used to combine the given statements in a grammatically accurate and contextually meaningful manner.

    (A) the primary energy source in many regions.

    (B) fossil fuels are still widely used as (C) renewable energy sources are becoming more affordable, (i) although (ii) even though (iii) foremost
    A Only (i) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only (ii) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only (i) and (ii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only (i) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Among the given options, starters (i) and (ii) can be used to combine the given statements in a grammatically and contextually meaningful way. The compositions thus formed would be: (i) Although renewable energy sources are becoming more affordable, fossil fuels are still widely used as the primary energy source in many regions. (ii) Even though renewable energy sources are becoming more affordable, fossil fuels are still widely used as the primary energy source in many regions. The starter "foremost" is an adjective that means "most prominent in rank, importance, or position" and does not fit the context of the sentence as a conjunction or a clause introducer. It does not help in forming a coherent and grammatically correct composition when combining these three statements.
