Question

Given below are two columns with phrases. A part of each phrase in column
I is highlighted in bold and may be grammatically or contextually incorrect. Select the
appropriate combination to form a correct sentence, and also identify the correct replacement
for the incorrect phrase, if any.

**Column I**
- A. He waited patiently
- B. The teacher explained
- C. The children played with silence

**Column II**
- D. as she greeted the old man.
- E. in the room next door.
- F. while she looked for her keys.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Consider the sentence "The children played with silence" from Column I. The phrase "in the room next door" (E) from Column II fits perfectly to form a meaningful sentence: **"The children played quietly in the room next door."**

2. The sentence "He waited patiently" (A) matches well with "while she looked for her keys" (F) to form: **"He waited patiently while she looked for her keys."**

3. The word "quietly" is the correct adverb to replace "with silence" in sentence C, making it grammatically correct.

4. Other options either mismatch the subjects and clauses or do not form coherent sentences.

**Answer:** Option (d) - C-E, A-F, C-quietly
