Example: An ad hoc committee was formed to look into the complaints.
Tip: In this question the options do not follow the order of the statements (Option 1 = C only, Option 2 = A only, Option 3 = B only, Option 4 = D only). NTA often jumbles the options in this way, so after finding the correct statement, read the options carefully and mark the one with the right letter.
