      three options to form a single sentence from the two sentences given below, implying the same meaning as expressed in the original sentences. The phrase/connector must appear at the beginning of the final sentence. I. Russia often takes action that irritates Western rivals. II. There is still a limit to how far the Russians are likely willing to go. (i) Although (ii) But (iii) Still
      A Only (ii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only (i) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only (i) and (ii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Only (ii) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      'Although' and 'but' are used to indicate contrast in tone of the sentence. The two given sentences have a contrasting relationship (The sentences talk about Russia's intentions for irritating rivals through their actions, but also, they have some limits to it.), but 'but' needs a sentence before it to show contrast, hence it can't be used. 'Still' is used for saying that a situation continues to exist up to and including a particular time, especially when this seems surprising. 'Still' also needs a sentence before it. C is the answer. "Although Russia often takes action that irritates Western rivals, there is a limit to how far they are likely willing to go."
