In the following question, two columns are given containing three sentences/phrases each. In the first column, the 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. Column 1: (A) After school, Jack usually sticks around as long as (B) We're planning on doing the sights (C) Even the repairman couldn't figure out what Column 2: (D) had gone wrong with the microwave. (E) he can because he doesn't want to go home. (F) of the city tomorrow morning.

1. A-F and B-D
2. B-E and C-F
3. B-F and C-D
4. A-D and C-E

Correct answer: B-F and C-D

Solution

'We're planning on doing the sights of the city tomorrow morning' is a correct sentence, so B-F works. 'Even the repairman couldn't figure out what had gone wrong with the microwave' is also correct, so C-D works. The other combinations do not form meaningful or grammatical sentences.
