Choose the correct answer from the options given below:-
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) He can drive a car, furthermore, he can fix it if there is a problem. | (II) furthermore | Furthermore means in addition, also. Fixing the car is a second skill added to driving it. |
| (B) Rohit went to the mall for shopping, however, he did not buy anything. | (III) however | However shows contrast: he went to shop but bought nothing, which is the opposite of what one expects. |
| (C) I had to sit down alongside Rita to boost her morale, henceforth, she sang. | (IV) henceforth | Henceforth means from this time on. After the speaker sat beside her, Rita sang. This pair fits only by elimination (see the Note). |
| (D) Vinod enjoys tinkering with computers, therefore he is called a tech wizard. | (I) therefore | Therefore shows result: because he works with computers, people call him a tech wizard. |
Note: Pairs (A)-(II), (B)-(III) and (D)-(I) are certain, and Option (2) is the only option that has them, so it is the answer. In (C) a word such as "thereafter" or "then" would read more naturally, because "henceforth" (from now on) is normally used for a rule or change that will last into the future.
