Directions : In the following items a pair of sentences (S1, S2) is given. Select the most appropriate and relevant co-relationship of the second sentence to the first from among the options (a), (b), (c) and (d), and mark your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly.
S1. Mohan enjoys classical music.
S2. Sohan likes popular musical genres.
The second sentence :
- Acontradicts the first
- Bcontrasts with the first
- Cconfirms the first
- Dqualifies the first
Explanation
S1 and S2 present two people’s tastes side by side — Mohan’s classical music against Sohan’s popular genres. The sentences are parallel in structure and set one preference against the other without either being disproved. That juxtaposition of differing but compatible facts is a contrast, not a contradiction (neither statement is false) and not a confirmation. Hence the answer is (b) contrasts with the first.
