Question Details

In the following questions, two columns are given containing three sentences/phrases each. In the first column, sentences/phrases are A, B and C and in the second column, the sentences/phrases are D, E and F. A sentence/phrase from the first column may or may not connect with another sentence/phrase from the second column. Each question has five options, four of which display the sequence(s) in which the sentences/phrases can be joined to form a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Choose the appropriate option. If none of the given options forms a correct sentence after combination, mark (e), i.e. “None of these” as your answer.

COLUMN ICOLUMN II

Correct Answer :

Option E

None of these

Solution :

The correct option is None of these.

To determine the correct option, let us analyze the grammatical and contextual correctness of the possible connections between Column I and Column II:

1. Analyzing connections for Clause (A):
- A-D: "Such a sector-by-sector approach, which can be developed for other sectors and also to allow it to heighten its vows as required by the Paris Agreement."
This combination is grammatically incorrect. The relative clause starting with "which" is joined with an infinitive phrase ("and also to allow it"), resulting in a lack of parallelism and an incomplete sentence structure.
- A-E: "Such a sector-by-sector approach, which can be developed for other sectors India must take internal measures to get on the road to net-zero emissions."
This combination forms a run-on sentence with no connecting conjunction or proper punctuation between the two clauses.
- A-F: "Such a sector-by-sector approach, which can be developed for other sectors while closing concrete actions that are less dependent on uncertain balances."
This combination is grammatically incomplete as it lacks a main verb (predicate) for the subject "Such a sector-by-sector approach".

2. Analyzing connections for Clause (B):
- B-D: "They can demonstrate concrete, yet ambitious, domestic action that sets and also to allow it to heighten its vows as required by the Paris Agreement."
The verb "sets" requires an object, but is instead followed by a coordinating conjunction "and" and an infinitive phrase, making it grammatically incorrect.
- B-E: "They can demonstrate concrete, yet ambitious, domestic action that sets India must take internal measures to get on the road to net-zero emissions."
This combination is structurally incorrect and does not form a coherent sentence.
- B-F: "They can demonstrate concrete, yet ambitious, domestic action that sets while closing concrete actions that are less dependent on uncertain balances."
This combination is incomplete because "sets" lacks an object to complete its meaning.

3. Analyzing connections for Clause (C):
- C-E: "This approach allows India to gracefully adapt its sectoral transition plans India must take internal measures to get on the road to net-zero emissions."
This combination lacks any grammatical conjunction or punctuation to link the two independent clauses, making it incorrect.
- C-D: "This approach allows India to gracefully adapt its sectoral transition plans and also to allow it to heighten its vows as required by the Paris Agreement."
This is grammatically redundant because "allows" is repeated in the form of "to allow it" within the same sentence structure.

Since none of the combinations form grammatically and contextually correct sentences, the correct answer is indeed "None of these".
