6) Answer: A
In the first bold position ‘dabbled’ makes more sense rather than ‘distributed’. So, I-IV will be the pair to render the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
After rearrangement, the correct sentence will be “For years, journalist Sheik Sadiq Ali has dabbled in various businesses—a matrimonial bureau, real estate, but his greatest happiness came from the children who rushed over to receive the books he distributed from his pushcart in Telugu.”
Therefore, option A is the correct answer to this question.

After rearrangement, the correct sentence will be “I worried, on that pleasant February morning, that I was about to ask Sudipta Sengupta the same questions dozens had asked her before but thankfully, she betrayed no wariness, and not even the slightest of airs, as we strolled through her home university in Jadavpur, Kolkata.”
Therefore, option E is the correct answer to this question.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer to this question.
9) Answer: D
In the second bold position ‘encompasses’ makes more sense rather than ‘representational’. So, II-III will be a pair. In the fourth bold position ‘explorations’ makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct which renders the pair I-IV appropriate.
After rearrangement, the correct sentence will be “The miniseries on science-art was to understand how different practitioners think of science-art, a term that encompasses works that range from accurate detailed drawings to representational art, as well as emotive-abstract explorations, conceptual and sequential narratives.”
Therefore, option D is the correct answer to this question.
10) Answer: E
In the first bold position ‘vital’ makes more sense rather than ‘discrimination’. So, I-III will be a pair. In the second bold position ‘narrative’ makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct which renders the pair II-IV appropriate.
