      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 โ€˜None of theseโ€™ 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 inflationโ€ฆ(ii) Despite the government introducing strict measures to curb inflationโ€ฆ(iii) Because the government has introduced strict measures to curb inflationโ€ฆ
      A Only i Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Both ii and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Both i and ii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D i, ii, and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      (i) Although the government has introduced strict measures to curb inflationโ€ฆ 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 inflationโ€ฆ similarly introduces contrast, suitable here.
      (iii) Because the government has introduced strict measures to curb inflationโ€ฆ implies causation and does not fit well with the warning that follows, so it is not suitable.
