Directions: In the following question a connector is given followed by a set of three statements. You have to select that option which states those statements which can be connected using the connector and are grammatically and contextually correct. Also, please note- The order of the statement matters. For eg: I and II may be connected using the connector in question but the same may not be true for II and I of the same question.

Similarly

I. After slow running for much of 2017, India is now near to full throttle with growth of 7.2% in the three months to December putting it ahead of China and making it once again the world’s fastest-expanding big economy.

II. It is easy to be awed by the Indian railway network due to the 23m passengers it carries daily for over ten times the distance to the sun and back but it is just as easy to find it unimpressive owing to the delays and antiquated trains.

III. India’s economy can be seen in two lights- Its long-term growth rate of 7% a year has proved far more dependable and GDP has doubled twice in the past two decades but still, deep poverty still lingers and jobs are scarce.

Only I and III

Explanation:

Correct answer is (b). The connector similarly depicts a comparison between two things/situations. Looking at the options:
Statement I talks about India gaining speed and being touted as the world’s fastest-expanding big economy. It simply has one tone i.e. positive.
Statement II talks about how it is easy to be amazed at the working of the Indian railways but also just as easy to be disappointed by it.
Statement III talks about how India’s economy, even though having achieved a lot, still suffers from abject poverty and lack of employment.
Both statements II and III can be compared with each other as both show two sides of the coin for their respective subjects. However, statement I just has one aspect to it and cannot be used with the connector similarly as it is not similar to either of the two other statements. Hence, option B is correct.
