Match the statements from column 1 with column 2 using

Solution

The correctly matched pairs are AD, BF and CE. The sentences with their correct connectors are AD: It is certain that I cannot always distinguish my own thoughts from those I read, because what I read becomes the very substance and texture of my mind. A states that the subject cannot distinguish his own thoughts from what he/she reads, and D follows the statement by stating the reason behind it. 'Because' can signal a cause-and-effect relationship. BF: The British Government's Integrated Review of our overseas policy, which I worked on before coming to India, describes the world we are in. B talks about the British government's integrated review of India's policy and F states that 'I' worked on the review (mentioned in the phrase B). Here 'which' is used to connect the 'policy' mentioned in the first phrase with the second phrase. CE: The state invites attention not merely because of its size but right now because of its political uproar, and equally importantly, the Opposition taking shape against it. C talks about the political situation in the state and E follows the statement and mentions the opposition taking advantage of this political uproar. 'And' connects words, phrases, and clauses that are of equal importance in the sentence. Hence, option (d) is correct.
