(a) Only A-D

(b) Only A-C

(c) Only A-B

(d) Both A-B and C-D

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. Statements (A) and (C) can be joined together using the phrase “till”. The two words until and till mean exactly the same. They are both a preposition and a conjunction. Until is often shorted to “till” and the choice of one or the other is on formality vs. informality in writing as well as on harmonics in the speech. Both the sentences are in the similar context and therefore, the statement thus formed is “The Supreme Court had earlier this month extended the deadline for linking of various services with Aadhaar till it delivers its judgment on a batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the biometrical identification scheme.” Hence, option (b) is the most viable answer choice.

(d) Both A-B and C-D

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. Statements (B) and (C) can be joined together using the phrase “Provided that”. ‘Provided that’ is the one that’s more often used as a conjunction. It means that one thing happening is dependent on another thing happening. Both the sentences are in the similar context and sentence (B) is dependent on the condition given in statement (C). Therefore, the statement thus formed is “You can apply for progress payments at any stage during the construction process provided that sufficient work has been completed and the bank is satisfied with the progress.” Hence, option (c) is the most viable answer choice.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. Statements (A) and (D) can be joined together using the phrase “In order to”. ‘In order to’ expresses the purpose and answer the question why something is done. Both the sentences are in the similar context therefore, sentence (D) [Gaining familiarity with several idioms and phrases] should be done to achieve the objective of sentence (A) [Fluent conversations can be enjoyed].
