Solutions
S1. Ans (c)
Sol. Among the given statements, only “if” can be used to connect the given statements. The correct statement thus formed will be:
‘If you had guided him in his tough times, he would have been a success story.’
S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. Statements can be joined together using the conjunction “because”. ‘Because’ is used to introduce a word or phrase that stands for a clause expressing an explanation or reason. The meaningful sentence thus formed is “’ The plane skidded off the runway because the brakes were jammed.”

Sol. Statements (I) and (II) can be joined together using the phrase “Provided that”. ‘Provided that’ is the one that’s more often used as a conjunction. It means that one thing happening is dependent on another thing happening. Therefore, the statement thus formed is “A bank account can have zero balance provided that the accountholder should not have any outstanding payments.”
S4. Ans. (b)
Sol. The sentence which makes grammatical as well as contextual sense is using option(b)- “Police have said crime has fallen by 28% since Britain was locked down to battle the coronavirus.”

Sol. The set of sentences (I)-(II) can be joined to make a grammatically correct and contextual sentence using the connecter ‘although’ – “Although the growth of the crop looks promising this year the number of people opting to grow it seems grim.”
