A pair of columns containing three phrases each is presented below. Identify the appropriate combinations that can be joined to form grammatically correct and coherent sentences.
| COLUMN I | COLUMN II |
|---|---|
| (a) When the famous chef opened his new restaurant in the city | (d) you must notify the safety officer at once |
| (b) Clara loves to display her rare awards in the living room | (e) the inexperienced climbers struggled to reach the base camp before sunset |
| (c) If an unknown agent attempts to persuade you to sign the contract | (f) so that all her guests can admire her achievements |
Correct Answer :
Only (B)- (F) and (C)-(D)
Solution :
The correct answer is Only (B)- (F) and (C)-(D).
Let's analyze the given phrases from Column I and Column II to determine which pairs form grammatically correct and logically coherent sentences:
1. Pair (B) - (F):
- Phrase (B): "Clara loves to display her rare awards in the living room"
- Phrase (F): "so that all her guests can admire her achievements"
- Combination: "Clara loves to display her rare awards in the living room so that all her guests can admire her achievements."
- Analysis: This combination is grammatically sound and makes complete logical sense. The clause in (F) provides the reason or purpose for the action described in (B).
2. Pair (C) - (D):
- Phrase (C): "If an unknown agent attempts to persuade you to sign the contract"
- Phrase (D): "you must notify the safety officer at once"
- Combination: "If an unknown agent attempts to persuade you to sign the contract, you must notify the safety officer at once."
- Analysis: This combination forms a correct conditional sentence (if-clause + main clause) that is both grammatically precise and logically meaningful.
Checking other combinations:
- Pair (A) - (E): "When the famous chef opened his new restaurant in the city, the inexperienced climbers struggled to reach the base camp before sunset." (This is logically disconnected as opening a restaurant has no context with climbers reaching a base camp).
- Pair (A) - (D) or (C) - (F) do not make contextual or logical sense together.
Therefore, the only valid and coherent sentence combinations are (B)-(F) and (C)-(D).
