Correct Answer :

Option E

B-F

Solution :

The correct option is B-F.

To find the correct combination, let us analyze the sentence fragments in Column (I) and match them with the appropriate fragments in Column (II) to form grammatically correct and coherent sentences:

1. Analyzing Fragment (B):
Fragment (B) "Many traditional craftspeople struggle to adapt" pairs logically and grammatically with fragment (F) "to the changing trends of the modern marketplace." The verb 'adapt' is correctly followed by the preposition 'to', forming the complete sentence: "Many traditional craftspeople struggle to adapt to the changing trends of the modern marketplace." Thus, B-F forms a valid sentence.

2. Evaluating remaining fragments:
- Fragment (A) "The city council plans to construct" requires a noun phrase representing a physical structure or project, which does not fit appropriately with (D), (E), or (F).
- Fragment (C) "The government is considering a complete ban" requires a prepositional phrase usually starting with 'on' (e.g., a ban on plastics), which is absent in Column (II).

Therefore, the only correct combination among the given options is B-F.
