    Directions For Questions

Column I (A, B and C) consists of first half of each sentence and Column II (D, E and F) consists of second half of each sentence. Match column I with column II, so that the sentences formed are both meaningful and grammatically correct. Choose the correct option as your answer.

    I.
    A) It was in his nature, and it was
    B) Sometimes we have to accept change,
    C) It is indeed my pleasure to introduce

    II.
    D) you at the conference tomorrow.
    E) because they don't fit into someone else's plans.
    F) something that wasn't going to change.
    Solutions
    When we use the verb 'introduce', we need to mention what is to be introduced. Both 'something' and 'you' can be introduced. But, 'you' is more appropriate as introductions are generally done for humans rather than some unchangeable entity. So, C & D go together.
    When we say 'in his nature', we are actually describing a distinct character trait, which is more unlikely to change. Also, character traits don’t 'fit into someone's plans'. So, A & F go together.
    This leaves us with B & E. even though when joined, they will be grammatically correct, but they do not make any sense. Acceptance because they do not fit in other plans doesn’t make sense.
    Hence, the correct answer is C.

    I.
    A) The island contains a very large number of important prehistoric monuments
    B) The music and the visual appeal of the nightlife
    C) We are quite accustomed to rejecting food

    II.
    D) which appears capable of receiving a finish having almost the truth and polish of an optical surface.
    E) produce a psychedelic effect.
    F) that’s good for our system but not good for our taste buds.
    Solutions
    Taste buds are concerned only when we are talking about food. So, C goes with F.
    Neither music, nor monuments have 'polish of an optical surface'. So, option D is wrong. But music does produce 'psychedelic effect'. So, B goes with E. A doesn’t have a match. Hence, the correct answer is A.

    I.
    A) We talk and plan and dream about nothing but
    B) There were many people in his dream, and
    C) Everything I found in books that pleased me I retained in my memory
    II.
    D) a big part of who I am and I have no desire to trade any of it away.
    E) excited to see her dressed up for the occasion.
    F) he thought he should remember them.
    Solutions
    Only B & F can be used to form a single sentence. The rest of them do not make any sense together.
    Option A has the subject 'we', but none of the options in column II actually have a plural subject. Option C is a complete sentence itself and would require a conjunction in the next part. Option B has a conjunction which means the next part of B should start with a noun or pronoun. F starts with the pronoun 'he'. So, B & F go together. Hence, the correct answer is D.

    I.

    A. Five additional members were added to an existing committee
    B. This is only one of the local papers
    C. He’s trying to figure out how to earn

    II.

    D. enough money to go on the trip to Spain.
    E. that prints a weekly horoscope.
    F. entrusted to monitoring, fighting and controlling oil fires.

    Solutions
    The sentences are to be formed in a way that they are both grammatically and contextually correct. The pair ‘A-F’ would have formed a meaningful sentence if ‘with’ was present instead of ‘to’ after ‘entrusted’. We use ‘with’ after ‘entrusted’ if the structure of the sentence is ‘entrust + somebody + with + something’. However, if the structure of the sentence is ‘entrust + something + to + somebody’, we use the preposition ‘to’.
    The pair ‘B-E’ is also incorrect because the singular form of the verb ‘print’. The subject that is being talked about in the sentence formed by joining ‘B-E’ is "local papers" which is clearly defined by the use of word "that" after it. Therefore, plural form is required.
    The sentence formed by joining C-D is both grammatically and contextually correct.
    Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
    Note: rules to be applied when 'one of' structure is used:
    1. one of the "noun"(will always be plural) + that/who+plural verb.
    2. one of the "noun"(will always be plural) + singular verb.

    I.

    A. The regional group has a bedrock principle of deciding by consensus, meaning
    B. Strikes on Syria by the USA and Britain raise questions of legitimacy of force, underline
    C. Where the Internet now offers limitless space and freedom for creative and intellectual

    D. just one-member state can stall any group effort.
    E. renewed great power rivalry, while a brutal civil war unfolds.
    F. expression, traditional television in India is in danger of strapping itself in a strait jacket of conformity.

    Solutions
    Segment A talks about deciding by consensus and thus, the most suitable connector is the one that talks about what does deciding by consensus mean. Thus, for A, it is D.
    Segment B talks about the war over Syria and the USA and UK bombing the country. This action exemplifies power rivalry with Syria and civil war continuing in the area. Thus, the correct connector is E. Even C and F can be joined to make a contextually and grammatically correct sentence. 
    The correct sentences are:
    The regional group has a bedrock principle of deciding by consensus, meaning just one-member state can stall any group effort.
    Strikes on Syria raise questions of legitimacy of force, underline renewed great power rivalry, while a brutal civil war unfolds.
    Where the Internet now offers limitless space and freedom for creative and intellectual expression, traditional television in India is in danger of strapping itself in a strait jacket of conformity.
