Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option E

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.
