Key Points

  • There are three combinations from the given phrases that make meaningful sentences.
  • Parts A and E connect grammatically and contextually. Part A states ‘A new analysis suggests the current level of UK spending to’ which is connected with Part E i.e. ‘combat climate change is lagging behind what advisers say is needed’.
    • The preposition ‘to’ at the end of Part A indicates that the next part should indicate the purpose of UK spending. Part E reveals that UK spending is intended to combat climate change. Besides, it mentions the spending is lagging. Thus, A-E is the correct combination.
  • Parts B and F connect grammatically and contextually. Part B states ‘A project that seeks to develop new kelp strains for the seaweed aquaculture sector’ which is connected with Part F i.e. ‘has been awarded funding from World Wildlife Fund (WWF), with support from the Bezos Earth Fund’.
    • ​Part B mentions the project to develop new kelp strains. Considering Part F, it is clear that funding has been awarded from WWF and Bezos Earth Fund. It is plausible that the project, mentioned in part B, has been awarded this funding. When the two parts are combined, they form a coherent sentence. Thus, B-F is the correct combination.
  • Parts C and D connect grammatically and contextually. Part C states ‘As the automotive industry starts to transform, experts say now is the time to plan’ which is connected with Part D i.e. ‘for what happens to batteries at the end of their lives, to reduce reliance on mining and keep materials in circulation’.
    • Part C mentions the automobile industry ‘transformation’. Part D says that suggestion by experts regarding the fate of batteries at the end of their lives. The automobile industry involves the usage of the batteries. Hence, on connecting the two parts, the statement becomes complete. Thus, C-D is the correct combination.

The correct sentences will be: 

  • A new analysis suggests the current level of UK spending to combat climate change is lagging behind what advisers say is needed.
  • A project that seeks to develop new kelp strains for the seaweed aquaculture sector has been awarded funding from World Wildlife Fund (WWF), with support from the Bezos Earth Fund.
