Question

Select the phrase/connector (STARTERS) from the given three options which can be used to form a single sentence from the two sentences given below, implying the same meaning as expressed in the statement sentences.

(I) Unmanned or remotely piloted aircraft, commonly known as drones, hold immense promise for various commercial applications,

(II) The government has done well to set up a regulatory framework for drone operations, including commercial use.

(i) Given how unmanned…

(ii) Since unmanned or…

(iii) Provided that unmanned…

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. We need to check which of the given starters can combine the two sentences into one without changing the original meaning.

2. Option (i) "Given how unmanned…" implies a causal relationship, which fits well as it introduces the promise of drones before mentioning the government’s regulatory action.

3. Option (ii) "Since unmanned or…" also establishes a cause-effect link, indicating that because drones hold promise, the government acted accordingly.

4. Option (iii) "Provided that unmanned…" introduces a conditional clause, which also logically connects the two ideas, implying the government’s action depends on the promise held by drones.

5. All three starters can be used to form meaningful sentences that preserve the original intent.

**Answer:** All of these
