Solutions:
S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. Statements (B) and (C) can be joined together to form a meaningful sentence using the conjunction ‘while’. “While” is used as a conjunction to refer ‘during the time that; at the same time as’. Thus, the coherent sentence formed using the statements (B) and (C) is “Director General of Archeological Survey of India (ASI) will be responsible for maintenance of the Taj Mahal while joint secretary of Ministry of Environment and commissioner of Agra Division will jointly be in-charge of the Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ).” All the other combinations fail to form a coherent sentence. Hence, option (c) is the most viable answer choice.
S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. Statements (A) and (D) can be combined successfully using the conjunction ‘whereas’. “whereas” is used to refer ‘in contrast or comparison with the fact that’. Therefore, using statements (A) and (D), the coherent sentence thus formed is “The authorities suspended the rail services in the Valley whereas the shutdown called by the separatists closed marketplaces and public transport services”. All the other combinations fail to form a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence. Hence, option (b) is the most viable answer choice.
S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. Statements (D) and (B) can be joined together using the conjunction ‘since’ to form a coherent sentence. ‘Since’ is used to express ‘for the reason that; because’. Therefore, using the statements (D) and (B) the meaningful sentence thus formed is “Since a liberal trade regime results in cheaper imports and more competitive exports Arvind Panagariya argues that, any move that seeks to make imports costlier as an import-substitution regime should be avoided”. All the other combinations fail to form a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence. Hence, option (a) is the most viable answer choice.
S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. None of the given combinations can successfully form a coherent sentence using the conjunction “Once”. “once” is used to refer ‘as soon as; when’. As none of the statements can be interlinked with each other, therefore, option (e) is the most feasible answer choice.
S5. Ans. (d)
Sol. Combinations (C) – (D) and (C) – (A) can form grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentences using the connector “so that”. ‘So that’ is used as a subordinate clause to show purpose or to give an explanation. It is used to show an action producing an intended result of a cause producing an effect. Therefore, the meaningful sentences thus, formed using the combination of statements (C) – (D) and (C) – (A) are “Netflix Calibrated Mode automatically adjusts picture settings when you’re watching the built-in Netflix app so that the image resembles as closely as possible the way Netflix’s content creators saw things when mastering their shows and movies”
“Netflix Calibrated Mode automatically adjusts picture settings when you’re watching the built-in Netflix app so that a content creator can have the confidence that an end viewer can see exactly the images the Netflix content creators slaved so hard to create.”
All the other combinations do not form grammatically correct and meaningful sentences thus, option (d) is the most feasible answer choice.
