    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 ‘None of these’ as your answer. 1. The government announced a new subsidy scheme for farmers to increase crop yield.2. Experts warned that the scheme’s success depends on timely implementation and awareness.(i) While announcing a new subsidy scheme for farmers…(ii) Unless the government announces a new subsidy scheme for farmers…(iii) Following the announcement of a new subsidy scheme for farmers…
    A Only i Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both i and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only ii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both ii and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (i) While announcing a new subsidy scheme… is incomplete and does not logically connect to the warning by experts.
    (ii) Unless the government announces a new subsidy scheme… reverses the meaning and does not fit as a starter here.
    (iii) Following the announcement of a new subsidy scheme… could fit, but by itself is incomplete and does not form a meaningful combined sentence with the warning.
    Hence, none of the starters is suitable for combining these statements without changing the meaning.
