Directions: Select the pairs of sentence fragments from Column I and Column II that combine to form grammatically correct and meaningful sentences. Choose the option representing all correct combinations.
| COLUMN I | COLUMN II |
|---|---|
| A. The municipal corporation introduced a funding scheme | D. to deliver high-speed internet access to rural communities |
| B. Telecommunication companies are building new fiber-optic infrastructure | E. to help local artisans launch their small businesses |
| C. Global trade tariffs and fluctuating currency values | F. that are currently beyond the processing capacity of standard smartphones |
Correct Answer :
A-E, B-D
Solution :
The correct option is A-E, B-D.
To find the correct combinations, let us analyze each sentence fragment from Column I with its appropriate match in Column II:
1. Fragment A with Fragment E (A-E):
• Fragment A: "The municipal corporation introduced a funding scheme"
• Fragment E: "to help local artisans launch their small businesses"
• Combined Sentence: "The municipal corporation introduced a funding scheme to help local artisans launch their small businesses."
• Reasoning: A municipal corporation introducing a funding scheme aligns logically with providing aid/funding to local artisans for starting small businesses. The infinitive clause "to help..." correctly completes the thought grammatically and contextually.
2. Fragment B with Fragment D (B-D):
• Fragment B: "Telecommunication companies are building new fiber-optic infrastructure"
• Fragment D: "to deliver high-speed internet access to rural communities"
• Combined Sentence: "Telecommunication companies are building new fiber-optic infrastructure to deliver high-speed internet access to rural communities."
• Reasoning: Fiber-optic infrastructure built by telecom companies directly relates to providing high-speed internet access. The purpose clause "to deliver..." fits perfectly both grammatically and logically.
3. Fragment C:
• Fragment C: "Global trade tariffs and fluctuating currency values"
• Fragment C cannot be meaningfully or grammatically paired with Fragment F ("that are currently beyond the processing capacity of standard smartphones") as financial metrics do not relate to smartphone processing limits.
Thus, the correct combination of sentences is represented by A-E, B-D.
