Correct option is C
The correct choice is
option (c) as the combination of
phrases (1) and (5) frame a meaningful sentence. The other possible combinations of the phrases from each column are incorrect as they are unrelated and do not form a logical sentence whereas, the context of the correct combination describes about a man who enjoys riding bicycles, but is not a professional cyclist. It does not provide any further context or information.
Hence, the only correct sentence formed will be “Although he wasn’t a professional cyclist, the man thoroughly enjoyed riding bicycles.”
