Answers :

6) Answer: D
In the given statements, statement I states that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has collaboratedand statement II discusses with tech giant Intel to launch an initiative named AI Student Community (AISC).
Applying the elimination technique, let’s check the relevance of each of the options one by one.
Possibility 1.
Although the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has collaborated with tech giant Intel, Intel otherwise would have launched an initiative named AI Student Community (AISC).
Or
Althoughthe Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has collaborated with the tech giant Intel, Intel was supposed to have launched an initiative named AI Student Community (AISC).
We can observe that neither of the above two formations expresses a meaningful context.
This eliminates option A.
Possibility 2.
As a tech giant Intel, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has collaborated withIntel and launched an initiative named AI Student Community (AISC).
Clearly, the above synthesis is both grammatically and contextually correct and keeps the flow of the sentence intact.
Possibility 3.
Being a tech giant Intel, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has collaborated withIntel and launched an initiative named AI Student Community (AISC).
Evidently, the above synthesis is also both grammatically and contextually correct and coherent.
Therefore option D is the correct answer choice to this question.
7) Answer: B
The given statements seem to be effects of a common cause.
Applying the elimination technique, let’s check the relevance of each of the options one by one.
Possibility 1.
On account of youth- oriented platform to promote digital-first mindset the creation of AI-enabled real-life solutions was encouraged among the youth.
We can observe here that though the formation above is grammatically correct, it doesn’t express a meaningful context. This eliminates option C.
Possibility 2.
Besides the idea of youth- oriented platform to promote digital-first mindset the creation of AI-enabled real-life solutions was encouraged among the youth.
Once again we have here a construction that is grammatically correct but logically flawed. This hence eliminates option A and D as well.
Possibility 3.
With the idea of creating youth- oriented platform to promote digital-first mindset the creation of AI-enabled real-life solutions was encouraged among the youth.
Clearly, the synthesis made above is both grammatically and contextually correct and keeps the flow of the sentence intact.
Therefore option B is the correct answer choice to this question.
8) Answer: C

Applying the elimination technique, let’s check the relevance of each of the options one by one.
Possibility 1.
In spite of CBSE-Intel initiative designed to provide students a platform for collaborative learning a campaign to raise awareness about artificial intelligence was also achieved.
Though the synthesis made above looks fine, it doesn’t not however keeps the flow intact. This eliminates options A and D.
Possibility 2.
Since it is CBSE-Intel initiative designed to provide students a platform for collaborative learning a campaign to raise awareness about artificial intelligence was also achieved.
Once again an example of a grammatical correct formation but it too doesn’t make any sense here. This eliminates option B as well.
Possibility 3
Given that, CBSE-Intel initiative designed to provide students a platform for collaborative learning a campaign to raise awareness about artificial intelligence was also achieved.
Clearly, the above synthesis is both grammatically and logically correct and keeps the chain of thoughts intact.
Therefore option C is the correct answer choice to this question.

Applying the elimination technique, let’s check the relevance of each of the options one by one.
Possibility 1.
Keeping in mind that the AISC project is in line with the National Education Policy 2020 it also highlights the importance of preparing students for an economy.
Clearly, the above synthesis is both grammatically and contextually correct and keeps the flow going.
This eliminates options B and C.
Possibility 2.
As introduced theAISC project in line with the National Education Policy 2020 is also important of preparing students for an economy.
This formation also implies the intended meaning and is both grammatically and contextually correct.
Possibility 3.
Allowing the AISC project in line with the National Education Policy 2020 has become important of preparing students for an economy.
Though the above construction is grammatically correct yet it doesn’t make a coherent sentence.
Therefore option D is the correct answer choice to this question.
10) Answer: A
If we read the sentences carefully, we can observe that the statements I and II simply suggest that this project will give students the access to various learning resources as well as the opportunity to participate in various activities. Applying the elimination technique, let’s check the relevance of each of the options one by one.
Possibility 1.
While a range of projects give students the access to various learning resources it also allows them to participate in various activities.
