Correct Answer :
A-E (for); B-F (consequently)
Solution :
The correct answer is A-E (for); B-F (consequently).
Let's analyze the pairs step-by-step to see how they form grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentences using the given connectors:
1. Pairing A and E with connector "for":
- Clause A: "She kept working late into the night,"
- Clause E: "she wanted to complete the project before the approaching deadline"
- Connector: "for" (used as a conjunction meaning "because" to provide a reason)
- Combined Sentence: "She kept working late into the night, for she wanted to complete the project before the approaching deadline."
- This sentence is logical and grammatically correct, as wanting to complete the project on time explains the reason why she kept working late.
2. Pairing B and F with connector "consequently":
- Clause B: "The concert was postponed because of unexpected weather changes;"
- Clause F: "many visitors had to cancel their travel plans immediately"
- Connector: "consequently" (meaning "as a result")
- Combined Sentence: "The concert was postponed because of unexpected weather changes; consequently, many visitors had to cancel their travel plans immediately."
- This sentence establishes a clear cause-and-effect relationship between the postponement of the concert and visitors canceling their travel plans.
Therefore, the pair A-E (for); B-F (consequently) correctly joins the phrases into meaningful sentences.
