(I) Digital farming is transforming agricultural practices by integrating technology into farming operations. (II) It enhances productivity by using data-driven insights and automation. (i) Since digital farming is transforming agricultural practices… (ii) Although digital farming transforms agricultural practices… (iii) Given that digital farming is transforming agricultural practices…

Explanation

The correct answer is (e) Both (i) and (iii). Analysis: Sentence (I): "Digital farming is transforming agricultural practices by integrating technology into farming operations." Sentence (II): "It enhances productivity by using data-driven insights and automation." Now, let's review each option: (i) "Since digital farming is transforming agricultural practices…" • The word "since" introduces a reason, indicating that because digital farming transforms agricultural practices, it enhances productivity. • Combined sentence: "Since digital farming is transforming agricultural practices by integrating technology into farming operations, it enhances productivity by using data-driven insights and automation." • This is grammatically correct and logically coherent. (ii) "Although digital farming transforms agricultural practices…" • The word "although" introduces a contrast or contradiction. However, there is no contradiction between the two sentences. Both sentences support each other, so "although" does not fit in this context. • Combined sentence: "Although digital farming transforms agricultural practices by integrating technology into farming operations, it enhances productivity by using data-driven insights and automation." • This creates an unnecessary contrast, making it incorrect. (iii) "Given that digital farming is transforming agricultural practices…" • The phrase "Given that" introduces a condition or context. It implies that because digital farming transforms agricultural practices, it enhances productivity. • Combined sentence: "Given that digital farming is transforming agricultural practices by integrating technology into farming operations, it enhances productivity by using data-driven insights and automation." • This is grammatically correct and logical.
