In the question below , two columns are given, each containing three phrases/sentences. Choose the option that will connect the phrases to form meaningful and correct sentences.

Column-I	Column-II
(A) All countries are racing to put in place systems to increase	(D) sunlight exposure and reduce near-work for children.
(B) The WHO is warning of a global myopia epidemic,	(E) where millions of our children are at risk of vision impairment.
(C) Projections show nearly 50% of the world’s population will be	(F) but it is evident that the prevalence numbers are low.

Correct Answer: A-D and B-E

To determine the correct option, let's analyze each pair from Column-I and Column-II to form grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentences.

1. Analyzing Phrase (A):
Column-I (A): "All countries are racing to put in place systems to increase"
Column-II (D): "sunlight exposure and reduce near-work for children."
Combining (A) and (D) gives: "All countries are racing to put in place systems to increase sunlight exposure and reduce near-work for children."
This combination is both grammatically correct and logically coherent as it addresses preventative measures for eye health in children.

2. Analyzing Phrase (B):
Column-I (B): "The WHO is warning of a global myopia epidemic,"
Column-II (E): "where millions of our children are at risk of vision impairment."
Combining (B) and (E) gives: "The WHO is warning of a global myopia epidemic, where millions of our children are at risk of vision impairment."
This combination forms a grammatically sound sentence that logically explains the severity of the myopia epidemic warned by the WHO.

3. Analyzing Phrase (C):
Column-I (C): "Projections show nearly 50% of the world’s population will be"
None of the remaining phrases (F or D) complete phrase (C) grammatically or logically (e.g., phrase C needs an adjective or predicate like "myopic" or "affected" following "will be"). Thus, phrase (C) does not match with any column II phrase given in the correct options.

Therefore, the correct connections are A-D and B-E.
