    In each of the following questions, three statements

    are given. For each question, three starters are also given which can be used to integrate all three statements into a meaningful and coherent composition. Select a starter or starters from the following options that can be used to combine the given statements in a grammatically accurate and contextually meaningful manner. (A) increasing public awareness about environmental issues is crucial, (B) community involvement in local conservation efforts is also necessary, (C) to drive meaningful change and protect natural resources. (i) in addition to (ii) thus (iii) nevertheless
    A Only (ii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only (i) and (ii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only (ii) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only (i) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (i) "in addition to" connects both statements, showing both awareness and community involvement are needed. (ii) "thus" indicates that both actions lead to the desired outcome. (iii) "nevertheless" suggests contrast, which is not suitable here. Among the given options, only starter (i) and (ii) can be used to combine the given statements. The composition thus formed would be: (i) Increasing public awareness about environmental issues is crucial; in addition to this, community involvement in local conservation efforts is also necessary to drive meaningful change and protect natural resources. (ii) Increasing public awareness about environmental issues is crucial; thus, community involvement in local conservation efforts is also necessary to drive meaningful change and protect natural resources.
