The correct answer is None of these.
Key Points
- There are no combinations from the given phrases that connect grammatically and contextually.
- Though parts C and F seem contextually connected wherein the benefits of Vultures are mentioned, the inappropriate use of the conjunction ‘but’(in part F) with ‘not only’ (in part C) is grammatically incorrect. Thus, these parts cannot be combined.
Therefore, the correct answer is ‘None of these’.
Additional Information
- ‘Not only… but also’ is correlative conjunction that always comes in pairs and relates one part of the sentence to the other.
