Step-by-Step Analysis
Pair 1: A–E (for)
· Column I: She kept working late into the night,
· Column II: she wanted to complete the project before the approaching deadline
Joining with for (meaning because):
“She kept working late into the night, for she wanted to complete the project before the approaching deadline.”
Grammatically correct and contextually logical.
Pair 2: B–F (consequently)
· Column I: The concert was postponed because of unexpected weather changes;
· Column II: many visitors had to cancel their travel plans immediately
Joining with consequently:
“The concert was postponed because of unexpected weather changes; consequently, many visitors had to cancel their travel plans immediately.”
Shows cause and effect clearly.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect
· (a) A–F (so)
· “She kept working late into the night so many visitors had to cancel their travel plans...” – mixes unrelated ideas.
· (b) B–E (and); C–F (however)
· “The concert was postponed…and she wanted to complete the project…” – ideas are unrelated.
· “Despite his busy schedule… however many visitors had to cancel…” – illogical.
· (d) C–F (for)
· “Despite his busy schedule, he always found time, for many visitors had to cancel their travel plans…” – illogical connection.
· (e) B–D (into); A–F (for)
· No sentence in the options with “into” fits meaningfully; A–F does not match context either.
Final Answer:
(c) A–E (for); B–F (consequently)
