Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

A-E (for); B-F (consequently)

Solution :

The correct option is A-E (for); B-F (consequently).


Step-by-Step Explanation:


Let's analyze the given sentence fragments from Column I and Column II along with the appropriate connectors to determine which pairs form grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentences.


1. Analyzing Pair A-E with connector "for":

Column I (A): "She kept working late into the night,"

Column II (E): "she wanted to complete the project before the approaching deadline"

• The word "for" acts as a coordinating conjunction meaning "because" or "since", providing the reason why she kept working late.

• Combining them: "She kept working late into the night, for she wanted to complete the project before the approaching deadline."

• This forms a logically complete, grammatically sound sentence that clearly explains her reason for working late.


2. Analyzing Pair B-F with connector "consequently":

Column I (B): "The concert was postponed because of unexpected weather changes;"

Column II (F): "many visitors had to cancel their travel plans immediately"

• The word "consequently" is an adverb/connector indicating a cause-and-effect relationship (meaning "as a result").

• Combining them: "The concert was postponed because of unexpected weather changes; consequently, many visitors had to cancel their travel plans immediately."

• This clearly establishes that the postponement of the concert directly caused the visitors to cancel their plans.


Conclusion:

Both pairs A-E (for) and B-F (consequently) form grammatically correct and meaningful sentences, making this the correct option.
