Correct Answer :

Option C

(2-4)

Solution :

The correct option is (2-4).

To construct a grammatically accurate and coherent sentence, we need to match phrase (2) from Column (A) with phrase (4) from Column (B):

1. Phrase (2) from Column (A): "A rare species of migratory bird was spotted in"
This clause describes an event (a migratory bird being spotted) and logically requires a prepositional phrase specifying a physical location or habitat.

2. Phrase (4) from Column (B): "the wetlands surrounding the national park."
This phrase provides the location (wetlands), which logically fits as a natural habitat for a migratory bird.

Combining (2) and (4) forms the complete, meaningful sentence:
"A rare species of migratory bird was spotted in the wetlands surrounding the national park."

Analysis of other given option choices:
- (1-4): Pairing "until" with "the wetlands..." creates a grammatically incomplete and logically meaningless sentence.
- (2-6): Pairing "spotted in" with "all safety regulations..." is syntactically and semantically incorrect.
- (3-4): "prepared a delicious three-course meal for the wetlands..." makes no logical sense.
- (1-5): "postpone the annual conference until the guests..." fails to provide a proper logical resolution for the postpone condition.

Hence, (2-4) is the only correct pair among the choices.
