Question
In each of the questions given below, two statements are provided followed by three possible starters (I, II, II
- I . Identify the alternative(s) that can act as a starter for combining the two statements into one grammatically correct and meaningful sentence, without changing the original meaning. The company delayed the launch of its new product due to unresolved technical issues. It faced criticism from stakeholders for failing to meet the announced deadline.
- I Although the company delayed the launch I
- I The company delaying the launch II
- I As a result of the company delaying
Solution
I) Combined sentence: Although the company delayed the launch…, it faced criticism… This introduces contrast, whereas the original relationship is cause–effect. Hence, it changes the meaning. II) Combined sentence: The company delaying the launch…, it faced criticism… This is grammatically incorrect due to a participle fragment and lack of proper clause structure. III) Combined sentence: As a result of the company delaying the launch of its new product due to unresolved technical issues, it faced criticism from stakeholders for failing to meet the announced deadline. This correctly expresses cause → consequence and forms a complete, meaningful sentence.
