Answer:

(a)  

  • (i) about - not relevant
  • (ii) on - not relevant
  • (iii) because - not relevant
  • (iv) and - this is correct

Since two sentences are to be connected and are telling about 2 situations that co exist , ‘and’ will be used.

So, the correct answer is (iv)and.

 

(b)  

  • (i)  represents - this is correct
  • (ii)  represent - not used with singular subjects
  • (iii) represented - not used simple present tense
  • (iv) representing - not used simple present tense

Since the sentence is in the simple present tense, ‘represents’ will be used.

So, the correct answer is (i)represents.

 

(c)  

  • (i)  on - not relevant
  • (ii) and - this is correct
  • (iii) with - not relevant
  • (iv) from - not relevant

Since two sentences are to be connected and are telling about 2 situations that co exist , ‘and’ will be used.

So, the correct answer is (ii)and.  

(d)  

  • (i)   a - not used with vowels
  • (ii)  an - this is correct
  • (iii) the - not used with vowels
  • (iv) within - not relevant

The article ‘an’ will be used with vowels.

So, the correct answer is (ii)an.

Thus the correct paragraph is
