Connect them by choosing the best starter from the options given below, without changing the intended meaning, to form a grammatically correct and coherent sentence. A.

The first phase of polling begins only in the last week of March.

1. Only ii
2. Only iii
3. Only i & iii
4. Only i

Answer: Only i

The two statements are related by cause and timing, so the starter that correctly links them without changing meaning is the one that makes the sentence coherent. Among the options, only i fits this relationship properly.
