Solutions
S1. Ans. (a)
Sol. The given part of the sentence is mentioning
about the forthcoming of the branded generic drug (Gefitinib). Therefore, the
latter part of the sentence must describe about the effects after its
availability to the patients. Therefore, expressions (II) and (III) are
perfectly satisfying this criterion. However, expression (I) stands incoherent
to the context of the sentence. Hence, option (a) becomes the most viable
answer choice.

perfectly satisfying this criterion. However, expression (I) stands incoherent
to the context of the sentence. Hence, option (a) becomes the most viable
answer choice.
S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. The given part of the sentence is describing
about the unsuccessful marriages of the couples. Only expression (I) fits
appropriately forming a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful
sentence. However, expression (II) and (III) contain grammatical errors. In
expression (II), since the third person pronoun ‘they’ is used, the possessive
determiner associated to it should also in third person. Therefore, usage of
second person possessive determiner ‘your’ is incorrect. Moreover, expression
(III) contains an idiomatic error. The correct idiom is ‘flogging a dead horse’
means to continue a particular endeavour is a waste of time as the outcome is
already decided. Since, only expression (I) makes the sentence contextually
meaningful, it becomes the most suitable answer choice.

S3. Ans. (c)
Sol. The given part of the sentence is describing the
outcomes of a report on angioplasty. It mentions about stenting (placing a
temporarily duct inside a blood vessel) of heart blockages. Thus, the latter
part of the sentence must describe effects of this action. Both expression (I)
and (III) are satisfying this criterion, forming a comprehensive and
grammatically correct sentence. However, expression (II) fails to fit in the
sentence as it contains grammatical error. Since, the sentence mentions a
single activity “stenting all blockages in the heart”, the usage of the plural
noun ‘causes’ stands incorrect. Therefore,
