    C B3T & E5S Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A5Q & C2P Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Among the given options, the correct answer is option (e) C4Q: "The rate of sand mining in our rivers has also seen a quantum leap, with most of these illegal sand mining operations being run by local politicians." In the given sentence, "with" functions as a connector to show a relationship of association or accompaniment between the two clauses. It effectively links the idea of the increased rate of sand mining to the specific group responsible for most of these illegal activities, indicating that these two aspects are connected or happening simultaneously. E2R: "It is now time for the youth to come together to ensure that our cultural heritage is protected, for it remains the very foundation of our civilization." In this context, "for" is used as a connector to indicate the reason or purpose for which the action in the first sentence is being advocated or emphasized. It establishes a causal relationship between the call to action and the underlying reason for that action, reinforcing the importance of protecting cultural heritage as a fundamental aspect of maintaining civilization.
