Answer» Only phrases A and E combine to form GRAMMATICALLY and contextually correct sentence. B-D and C-F form contextually correct SENTENCES, but the errors in phrases D and F make the sentences grammatically incorrect. A-E :- Phrase A gives the scenario of the current year and E for the next year. Words like ‘fiscal deficit’, ‘expenditure’ and ‘revenue’ form a link between the two phrases. Thus, the two are connected to each other. B-D :- PEOPLE get happy when taxes get lowered. When the two phrases join the sentence implies that though corporates wanted a tax reduction, still they are happy because the tax rates were not elevated. Thus, ‘down’ in phrase D must be replaced with ‘up’. C-F :- ‘hard’ must be replaced with ‘HARDLY’ in phrase F. ‘hard’ is an adjective, while ‘hardly’ is an adverb. Since the meaning of a verb (rise) is to be modified, therefore an adverb must be used. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer. |
