Solution Combined Sentence (A2S): "Nearly eight months ago, representatives of the fisherfolk from the Northern Province had appealed for negotiations with their Tamil Nadu counterparts despite their complaints about ‘destructive bottom trawling’ by the other side." The use of "despite their" introduces a contrast, showing that although there were complaints about destructive fishing practices, the representatives were still willing to engage in negotiations. This contrast adds depth to the situation by highlighting the willingness to negotiate despite grievances. This pairing effectively conveys a conciliatory approach from the fisherfolk in the Northern Province. Combined Sentence (D5P): "What appears to be a new trend is the increasing detention of Indian fishermen and their boats, with lengthy sentences and fines on repeat offenders; this is why India’s long-standing position, that the issue has humanitarian and livelihood angles, assumes significance." The use of "this is why" establishes a causal relationship, suggesting that the increased detention and penalties underline the importance of India’s position that this is a humanitarian and livelihood issue. This pairing highlight that India’s stance on the issue, focusing on the human and livelihood aspects, becomes more relevant due to the recent developments in detentions and penalties. The combination is also logical and coherent. Both A2S and D5P logically convey the connections between the fisherfolk’s situation, their willingness to negotiate, and India’s stance on the issue. This makes Option D the correct answer.
