Incorrect AnswerOnly I and II
Correct AnswerOnly I and IV
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Statement I (As): "As" connects two actions happening simultaneously. It fits well: "As Harry squelched along the deserted corridor, he came across somebody who looked just as preoccupied as he was."
- Statement II (And): "And" connects two related ideas. It also works: "Harry squelched along the deserted corridor and came across somebody who looked just as preoccupied as he was."
- Statement III (But): "But" is used to introduce a contrast. The sentences don't contrast, so this doesn't fit.
- Statement IV (Nevertheless): "Nevertheless" indicates contrast in ideas which doesn’t suit these sentences.
