In first column, sentences/phrases are A, B and C and in the second column the sentences/phrases are D, E and F. A sentence/phrase from the first column may or may not connect with another sentence/phrase from the second column to make a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Each question has five options, four of which display the sequence(s) in which the sentences/phrases can be joined to form a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. If none of the options given forms a correct sentence after combination, mark (e), i.e. “None of these” as your answer.

  5. ENone of these

Answer: D. A-E, B-D

Explanation

w w Sentence A- Five stand up paddlers will navigate 135km along the Buckingham Canal A dependent clause follows A. E and F are dependent clauses. F does not agree with A in terms of tense. E fits perfectly. Sentence B- As they moved closer to the banks of the canal An independent clause is likely to follow B. D is an independent clause and follows B perfectly. Sentence C- On the flips side, the team was able to witness up close nature at its finest A dependent clause is likely to follow C. F contradicts C. E does not give a complete meaning to the statement. So, C does not have a pair.
