Question
In each question, there are two statements which can be
combined into a single statement in a number of different ways without changing their meaning. Below are given three probable starters (i), (ii), and (iii) of such a combined sentence. 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 āNone of theseā as your answer. The government has introduced strict measures to curb inflation.Economists warn that these measures might slow down economic growth.(i) Although the government has introduced strict measures to curb inflationā¦(ii) Despite the government introducing strict measures to curb inflationā¦(iii) Because the government has introduced strict measures to curb inflationā¦Solution
(i) Although the government has introduced strict measures to curb inflationā¦ can start a sentence that acknowledges the measures but suggests a warning follows, which fits the context.
(ii) Despite the government introducing strict measures to curb inflationā¦ similarly introduces contrast, suitable here.
(iii) Because the government has introduced strict measures to curb inflationā¦ implies causation and does not fit well with the warning that follows, so it is not suitable.
