    b. Since he respected the

    Solutions
    The two sentences indicate that Judge Ring regarded the totality principle, and for this reason, he imposed a five-and-a-half-year sentence to commence on the lawful expiration of the three-year sentence on the Bill. So, a cause and effect relationship can be established here. All the starters can link the two sentences logically:

    Timothy Oritiz admitted to possess a gun he used illegally. He used it to shoot Jonathan Methot, in September 2016 in an argument over an alleged drug debt.
    A. The gun that Timothy Ortiz admitted
    B. Timothy Ortiz illegally shot
    C. The argument over an alleged drug debt allowed
    Solutions
    The two sentences state that a gun was used to shoot on a certain date and it was used illegally. Also, the gun was shot during an argument. The shooting was not illegal according to the statements, it was actually the possession of the gun which was illegal, thus, (B) is incorrect. (C) cannot begin the sentence appropriately as there is no mention of allowance or permission.
    New statement:
    The gun that Timothy Ortiz admitted to possess illegally was the one he used to shoot Jonathan Methot, in September 2016 in an argument over an alleged drug debt.

    A man kept in prison for decades can be broken. A broken man is by definition a ‘reformed man’.
    a. Keeping a broken man in prison
    b. Keep a man in prison
    c. If you keep a man in prison
    Solutions
    The two sentences point out how can a man be broken by being kept in a prison. The second statement adds an idea and can be connected by 'and'. The sentence can be represented as a Zero conditional with if clause in present simple tense and main clause too in present simple, generalizing the fact that imprisoning someone can break him.  
    Therefore, both b) and c) can be used to combine the statements into one. 

    New sentence:
    I. Keep a man in prison for decades and you can break him and a broken man is by definition a ‘reformed’ man.
    II. If you keep a man in prison, you can break him and a broken man is by definition a 'reformed' man.

    Sharma was a contemporary of such political stalwarts as Arun Jaitley, Abhishek Singhvi and Vijay Goel. He was a rising political star when he cut his own career short by killing his wife in 1995.
    a. After being a contemporary of
    b. Being a contemporary of such political
    c. Since he was a rising political star
    Solutions

    The two statements talk about "Sharma". The first states whose contemporary he was, while the second states how he cut his political career by killing his wife. The two do not show a cause and effect relationship, thus, (c) can be eliminated. Also, the second is not a consequence of the first, hence, (a) is incorrect. Only (b) can connect the sentence grammatically and contextually right.

    New statement: 
    Being a contemporary of such political stalwarts as Arun Jaitley, Abhishek Singhvi and Vijay Goel, Sharma, was a rising political star who cut his own career short by killing his wife in 1995.

    a. As an antecedent of
    b. Post the announcement of
    c. After the Oscar shortlist was announced
    Solutions

    "Antecedent" refers to a thing that existed before or logically precedes another. Since the incident in the second sentence follows the first, alternative (a) is incorrect. Both (b) and (c) follow logically.
    New Statement:
    I. After the Oscar shortlist was announced on Monday, Monga posted on Instagram: “Waking up to this shortlist! So proud and so exciting… I am so humbled to be a part of the producing team.”

    II. Post the announcement of Oscar shortlist on Monday, Monga posted on Instagram: “Waking up to this shortlist! So proud and so exciting… I am so humbled to be a part of the producing team.
