Question

    In each of the following questions, five statements have been given. Identify the pair of statements which are grammatically correct and also carry the same meaning.

    1. The only way to enhance demand for certain goods and

    services is to provide consumers with more financial resources to spend. 2. There is a possibility that if consumers have more money with them, they can spend more, thus giving rise to demand for goods and services. 3.

The demand for goods and services can be trigger, if consumers have more money with them, thus allowing them to spend more. 5.

    A 1 and 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2 and 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3 and 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 4 and 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sentences (2), (3) and (4) impart the same meaning here. However, (4) is incorrect because the right version is “can be triggered” and not “can be trigger”. (1) deviates from the meaning of (2),(3) and (4) is as it says “the only way” while (5) deviates from the meaning of (2),(3) and (4 is as it says that “there is no guarantee that this will work” while (2), (3) and (4) simply discuss what the idea is all about and not about “guarantee” of success.
