Directions (6-10): In the question given below few sentences are given which are grammatically correct and meaningful.

Choose the best possible combination as your answer accordingly from the options to form a correct, coherent sentence.

  1. WHETHER

(A) According to the UK Treasury the European Commission is holding an investigation.

(B) The UK government said it will consider the Commission’s views and will respond in due course.

(C) The move, which comes ahead of Britain’s exit from the EU next year, would impact key commodity exchanges in the UK such as the London Metal Exchange and the Intercontinental Exchange.

(a) only A-B

(b) only B-C

(c) only A-D

(d) Both B-C and A-D

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. Option (c) is the correct choice. Statements (A) and (D) can be joined together using the conjunction “whether” which is used to express an enquiry or investigation (often used in indirect questions). Statements (A) and (D) can be combined using whether, “The European Commission is investigating whether the United Kingdom imposes enough tax on commodity derivative trades, according to the UK Treasury”.  All the other combinations of the statements fail to connect using “whether”.

(C) According to a spokesman for the Office of the Prime Minister, the proposals will be discussed when the Nationalist Party agrees to end its Cedoli scheme.

(a) only A-C

(b) only B-C

(c) only A-B

(d) Both B-C and A-B

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. Option (a) is the most suitable answer choice. Statements (A) and (C) can be combined using the phrasal conjunction “Only if”. Only if expresses a command or requirement. It is used to introduce a condition which is necessary as well as sufficient. Thus, the sentence formed using the phrasal conjunction ‘only if” with statements (A) and (C) is “The Maltese Government would be willing to discuss proposals on state funding of political parties only if the Nationalist Party agrees to end its Cedoli scheme, according to a spokesman for the Office of the Prime Minister”. All the other combinations cannot form a single sentence using the given conjunction. Hence, option (a) is the most viable choice.

  1. WHILE

(A) We are, in fact, kept isolated from Washington’s wars, even as America’s warriors traverse a remarkable expanse of the globe, from the Philippines through the Greater Middle East deep into Africa.

(B) We’ve been told from the very first moments of war on terror to go shopping or to Disney World and let the experts handle it.

(C)The military has been deploying and striking on a global scale of Washington’s self-proclaimed war on terror.

(D) Yet here at home, there’s nothing real about those wars.

(a) only C-B

(b) only D-A

(c) only A-B

(d) Both B-C and A-B

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. Statement (C) and statement (B) can be put together to form a single coherent sentence using the conjunction “while”. “While” as a conjunction expresses ‘during the time that; at the same time as.’ Thus, the statement formed is “While the military has been deploying and striking on a global scale, we’ve been told from the very first moments of Washington’s self-proclaimed war on terror to go shopping or to Disney World and let the experts handle it.” All the other combinations do not form a single coherent sentence. Hence, option (a) is the most viable answer choice.

  1. HOWEVER

(A) Every taxpayer can claim a full deduction, but it’ll bring the average down from its current five-digit level.

(B) Gifts of personal property, such as vehicles, clothing, or stock, are also deductible in many cases, but they’re less common than cold hard cash.

(C) Most interest that you pay for personal debt isn’t deductible on your tax return.

(D) The tax laws make an exception for mortgage debt.

(a) only B-C

(b) only C-D

(c) only A-B

(d) Both B-C and A-B

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. Statements (C) and (D) can be joined together using the conjunction “However”. ‘However’ is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously. The contextually correct statement thus formed is “Most interest that you pay for personal debt isn’t deductible on your tax return, the tax laws, however, make an exception for mortgage debt.” Hence, option (b) is the correct choice.

  1. NOTWITHSTANDING

(A) BJP had the negative implications in the elections of Gorakhpur and Phulpur.

(B) The chief minister has taken that decisive step; more political churn seems imminent.

(C) BJP continued to put up a brave face after the defeat in the elections.

(a) only B-C

(b) only C-D

(c) only A-B

(d) Both B-C and A-B

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation
Ans. e

Exp. None of the given combinations given can be combined using the preposition/conjunction “notwithstanding”. The preposition “Notwithstanding” means ‘in spite of.’ However, statements (A) and (C) can be adjoined and framed together in a single sentence “Notwithstanding the negative implications of elections at Gorakhpur and Phulpur, the BJP, however, continued to put up a brave face.” As none of the given options frames a coherent sentence option (e) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
