    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. Priya has a degree in psychology from the Harvard University. II. She has the ability to understand people's mind. (i) While (ii) Instead (iii) As
    A Only (i) and (ii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only (ii) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only (i) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only (i) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    'While' is used for comparing things, situations, or people and showing how they are different. It can't be used here as both the sentences are linked to each other and are on the same tone. 'Instead' is used for saying that one person, thing, or action replaces another. It will not make the combined sentence grammatically or contextually correct. 'As' is used for giving a reason for something. The first sentence can be the reason for the second sentence. E is the answer. "As Priya has a degree in psychology from the Harvard University, she has the ability to understand people's mind."
