Correct Answers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
E C B B A E A B D A
Explanations:

1. Connector I As it is very difficult to get a government job in India nowadays, you should
never let any job opportunity to go off your hands.

It is correct since it connects both the statements meaningfully.

Connector II You should never let any job opportunity go off your hands since it is very
difficult to get a government job in India nowadays.

It is also correct since it connects both the sentences meaningfully.

Connector III With the government job having become very difficult to get in India, you
should never let any job opportunity go off your hands.

It also connects both the sentences meaningfully.

So, Option E is the correct choice.

2. Connector I There are so many reality shows in various channels with the same idea and
concept that nobody knows the future of the reality shows contestants these days

This is correct since both the sentences are connected meaningfully.

Connector II is not correct since it is the cause and not the effect of some event. Had it
been ‘Since there are so many reality shows in various channels with the same idea and
concept, nobody knows the future of the reality shows contestants these days’, it would
have been correct.

Connector III With so many reality shows in various channels with the same idea and
concept, nobody knows the future of the reality shows contestants these days.

It is correct since both the sentences are connected meaningfully.

Hence, Option C is the correct choice.

3. Statement I Since there are not enough jobs in the productive sectors of the economy
and there is a gap in the demand and supply of manpower, the unemployment problem
in India is increasing day by day with more people coming out of the college every year.

This is correct since both the statements are connected meaningfully.

Statement II With not enough jobs in the productive sectors of the economy and a gap
in the demand and supply of manpower, the unemployment problem in India is
increasing day by day with more people coming out of the college every year.

This is also correct since both the statements are connected meaningfully.

Statement III cannot be used to connect the sentences in a meaningful manner and that
is why it is not correct.

So, Option B is the right choice.

4. Connector I is not relevant.

'Since' refers to 'for the reason that' or 'because' but usage of it would be illogical in the
context as neither of the sentences is a reason for the other.

Connector II would be incorrect as 'while' is generally used to indicate a contrast which

is not the case here.

Connector III ISRO is doing wonders these days with so many launching operations to be
initiated this year that will be used for weather prediction, GPS signaling etc.

This makes Option B the right choice among the given options.

5. Connector I It is the duty of the journalists to uphold the sanctity of the profession
which has suffered a lot in the recent years because of fake news and paid news.

This is correct as both the sentences are connected in a meaningful manner.

Connector II is not correct since the sentences cannot be connected in a meaningful

manner with the given connector for the sentence.

Connector III is not correct either as the connector doesn't lead to a meaningful
sentence combining the two given sentences.

Hence, Option A is the correct choice among the given options.

6. Connector I It is not possible to establish a relationship between the two statements as
crime rate is low and Mumbai being full of life are two unrelated facts.

Connector II It is not correct since there is no cause-effect relationship between the

crime rate of Mumbai and the condition of Mumbai as a city with full of life. So, they
cannot be merged together into a new sentence.

Connector III It is not correct since the two statements given are unrelated ones and no
relationship can be established between the two.

So, option E is the correct choice.

7. Connector I It is not correct since the cause is the viral fever and declaration of holidays
is the effect of the same. This is irrelevant in the given context.

Connector II Though the declaration of holidays is the effect, in this sentence it has been
used to denote the reason. It is just opposite of the meaning that should be implied by
the given statements. The cause should be there first and then the effect and not the
other way around.

Connector III This correctly establishes the cause-effect relationship between the given
statements as, “Since all the students in the hostel are suffering from viral fever, the
school has declared holidays for one more month.”

Hence, option A is the correct choice.

8. Connector I With a lot of new opportunities going to come in data science in the coming
years, it is emerging as a very popular career option in India these days.

It is correct since it makes a meaningful statement.

Connector II It is irrelevant since the cause is coming later than the effect here. Data
science jobs are coming up and that is why students are studying it and not the other
way around. In this case, it is the opposite of this

Connector III Data science is emerging as a very popular career option in India these
days with a lot of new opportunities going to come in this field in the coming years

It is correct as it also makes a meaningful statement

So, option B is the right choice.

9. Connector I If one word could describe a person, for the former Prime Minister Atal
Vihari Bajpayee it would have been the way he used to compromise.

It is correct as it makes meaningful sentence.

Connector II: As one word can describe a person, for the former Prime Minister Atal
Vihari Bajpayee it would have been the way he used to compromise.

This is incorrect as the beginning phrase makes assumes that one word can actually
describe a person. This is subjective and not a fact and thus the statement does not
make sense.

Connector III: Hardly one word can describe a person then for the former Prime Minister
Atal Vihari Bajpayee it would have been the way he used to compromise.

It is completely irrelevant as the statement developed is not meaningful.

This makes option D the right choice among the given options.

10. Connector I Though internet is a rich source of information in any domain required, it
cannot help you choose among the given options.

It is correct since it makes a meaningful statement.

Connector II It is irrelevant since there is no cause-effect relationship between the two

given statements and therefore they cannot be connected by using ‘as’.

Connector III It is again irrelevant since the relationship between the sentences is not
about the cause and effect with one being the cause and the other, its effect.

Hence, Option A is the correct choice among the given options.
