Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

A–E only

Solution :

The correct option is A–E only.


Let us analyze the pairs by connecting the clauses in Column I with Column II to check for semantic clarity and grammatical correctness:


1. Part A with Part E:
"Irregular sleep schedules among teenagers during school weeks" (Subject: plural noun phrase 'Irregular sleep schedules') matches with "often affect alertness, mood stability, and academic engagement" (Predicate starting with plural verb 'affect').
This forms a coherent, logical, and grammatically correct sentence: "Irregular sleep schedules among teenagers during school weeks often affect alertness, mood stability, and academic engagement."
Therefore, A–E is a valid combination.


2. Part B with other options:
"Staying awake late to complete unfinished assignments" (Gerund subject, singular context) does not logically connect with D ("was introduced as a ceremonial tradition..."), E (requires singular verb 'affects', but E has 'affect'), or F ("plays a decisive role in shaping coastal trade routes"). None of these form a meaningful connection.


3. Part C with other options:
"Reduced sleep duration over extended periods" does not make sense with F ("plays a decisive role in shaping coastal trade routes"), as sleep duration has no relation to coastal trade routes.


Hence, only the combination A–E forms a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence.
