Question
1. Thailand and Nigeria are pioneers in Scrabble and
have recognized it as a sport, which countries like India should also consider exploring for the benefit of their players. 2. Currently, Thailand and Nigeria recognise Scrabble as a sport and not a game,a distinction that could benefit Indian players too if implemented here. 3. At the moment, Thailand and Nigeria recognises Scrabble as a sport and not a game ,a distinction, if implemented in India, could advantage Indian players too. 4. India recognizes Scrabble as a game, a problem that Indian players are facing and needs to be solved like Thailand and Nigeria have done. 5. If India recognized Scrabble as a sport and not a game like how Thailand and Nigeria have done at the moment, it could benefit Indian players too. 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.Solution
Sentences (2), (3) and (5) impart the same meaning here. However, (3) is incorrect because “Thailand and Nigeria recognise” is the right version and not “recognizes”. Also, “advantage” is incorrectly used as a verb here. (1) deviates from the meaning of (2),(3) and (5) is as it talks about exploring the idea of recognition as a sport, while (4) deviates from the meaning of (2),(3) and (5) is as it says that recognition of Scrabble as a game itself is a problem (it is the consequences of recognizing Scrabble as a game which are creating problems)
