One, two, three, or none of them may be correct. Decide upon which is/are correct, if any, and mark the option which denotes your answer. If none of the three starters is suitable, mark ‘None of these’ as your answer. 1. The Prime Minister praised the efforts of the local administration.2. They successfully managed the flood relief operations in the affected areas.(i) For successfully managing the flood relief operations in the affected areas…(ii) Because of successfully managing the flood relief operations in the affected areas…(iii) Although praising the efforts of the local administration…

      Solution

      (i) For successfully managing the flood relief operations in the affected areas… correctly introduces the reason why the Prime Minister praised the local administration.
      (ii) Because of successfully managing the flood relief operations… is grammatically incorrect when used as a sentence starter here.
      (iii) Although praising the efforts of the local administration… does not logically connect to the second statement and is inappropriate as a sentence starter.
