Question 2096
Select the phrase/connector (it must be at the start) from the given three options which can be used to form a single sentence from the two sentences given below, implying the same meaning as expressed in the statement sentences. Sentences: (1) There is no denying that the movement was mainly targeted against the ‘foreigners’, mostly Bangladeshi immigrants ‘illegally’ settled in Assam. (2) There was significant public outcry also against the Assamese being evicted from their homes. Connectors: (i) As there is no denying that the movement… (ii) While there is no denying that the movement… (iii) As soon as there was significant public outcry…
Answer
Only (ii) is correct
Why?
While statement 1 is the major case as indicated by the phrase, ‘there is no denying’, statement 2 also presents another case in the similar vein. Thus the correct answer is option b, only (ii) is correct. Thus the correct option is 2. The full sentence is: While there is no denying that the movement was mainly targeted against the ‘foreigners’, mostly Bangladeshi immigrants ‘illegally’ settled in Assam, there was significant public outcry also against the Assamese being evicted from their homes.
