Question
In the following questions two columns are given
containing three sentences/phrases each. In first column, sentences/phrases are A, B and C and in the second column the sentences/phrases are D, E and F. A sentence/phrase from the first column may or may not connect with another sentence/phrase from the second column to make a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Each question has five options, four of which display the sequence(s) in which the sentences/phrases can be joined to form a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. If none of the options given forms a correct sentence after combination, mark (e), i.e. āNone of theseā as your answer.Solution
Sentence A - Among the top bosses are Can match with a mention of the top bosses as an example (Among the top bosses are X and Y) or a clause with relative pronoun (Example - Among the top bosses who are X and Y, will be attending the meeting etc). D, E and F donāt fit this criteria. Hence, there is no pair here. Sentence B - Though there arenāt many philanthropists these days Can match with an independent clause only and introduce a contrast to the fact that there are less philanthropists (those who donate). E and F are independent clauses but they donāt make logical sense as they donāt convey philanthropy but simply mention registering of companies. Hence, there is no pair here. Sentence C - For that reason, Can match with an independent clause only. āFor that reasonā is open ended here and anything can fit in. Ā E and F are independent clauses. Thus, C-E and C-F are the correct pairs.
