Q: Answer-In each of the questions given below, two statements are provided followed by three possible starter...

We must determine which starter correctly combines the sentences while preserving meaning. I As digital banking platforms have become widely accessible in recent years Combined sentence As digital banking platforms have become widely accessible in recent years, customers are now able to complete financial transactions quickly without visiting bank branches. This is grammatically correct and logically indicates cause effect. Correct option II Digital banking platforms becoming widely accessible in recent years Combined sentence Digital banking platforms becoming widely accessible in recent years, customers are now able to complete financial transactions quickly. This is grammatically weak because the participle phrase does not form a complete clause. Incorrect III Since customers are now able to complete financial transactions quickly Combined sentence Since customers are now able to complete financial transactions quickly without visiting bank branches, digital banking platforms have become widely accessible. This reverses the causeeffect relationship. Accessibility led to convenience, not the opposite. Incorrect
