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.

S2. The neighbouring villages maintain their traditional buildings.
The second sentence :
- Aaffirms the first
- Bcontrasts with the first
- Cconfirms the first
- Dquantifies the first
Explanation
S1 describes the city’s modern architecture while S2 describes the neighbouring villages’ traditional buildings. The two sentences are set in deliberate parallel opposition — modern versus traditional, city versus village — without either being denied. That side-by-side opposition is a contrast. Hence the answer is (b) contrasts with the first.
