    Gerald Horne only indirectly acknowledges the role of capitalism. Other historians have recently paid considerable attention to the capitalist nature of slavery.
    I. In discussing racial oppression,
    II. Nor does he dwell upon societal realities of poverty and marginalization as contributing to oppression,
    III. Following the crisis of U.S. slavery,
    Solutions
    Option I: A popular belief is that slavery caused racism. Slavery was followed by racial oppression. Racial oppression is one aspect of slavery. So, this option can be used.
    Option II: It does not fit in the context of the sentences.
    Option III: It can be deciphered from the second sentence. So, it can be used.
    Therefore, option C is the apt answer.

    The faith of the people in the judiciary should not be lost. It is time that by a judicial order the Memorandum of Procedure (MOP) is set out and a mandamus issued to the government to follow the same and clear pending appointments in a time-bound manner.
    I. Since vacancies are mounting and pendency of cases is reaching alarming proportions,
    II. What is bewildering is the total inaction from the judicial side since
    III. Fiddling around happens in every government, but invasion and intrusion, that too crudely and rudely, should not take place because
    Pick out the option which when used to start a sentence combines both the above sentences in one.
    Solutions
    Since as a conjunction means ‘for the reason that; because.’ ‘What is bewildering is the total inaction from the judicial side because the faith of the people in the judiciary should not be lost’ is ambiguous. Thereby, option II can’t be used. Fiddling means to spend time or act in a careless or inconsequential manner. One can say that the second sentence and option III are in contrast. Thereby, option III also can’t be used. From ‘clear pending appointments in a time-bound manner,’ one can decipher ‘pendency of cases is reaching alarming proportions.’ So, this option can be used.
    Therefore, option A is the apt answer.
    New statement:
    Since vacancies are mounting and pendency of cases is reaching alarming proportions, the faith of the people in the judiciary should not be lost so it is time that by a judicial order the Memorandum of Procedure (MOP) is set out and a mandamus issued to the government to follow the same and clear pending appointments in a time-bound manner.

    A majority of nations in the world, including China and India, wanted concrete evidence about Russian complicity. It was also a relief for them that U.S. President Donald Trump did not tweet about Russian involvement even though he ordered the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats.
    a) Russia had been “silent” on the matter that
    b) Russia gloated over the fact that
    c) Among the many hazards that diplomats face today,
    Solutions
    From ‘it was also a relief for them that U.S. President Donald Trump did not tweet about Russian involvement,’ one can decipher option II since ‘gloated over’ means to rejoice smugly over something. Option I does not help in connecting the two sentences. Also, the sentences are not about the hazards that diplomats face. So, both options II and III can’t be used.
    Therefore, option B is the apt answer.
    New statement:
    Russia gloated over the fact that a majority of nations in the world, including China and India, wanted concrete evidence about Russian complicity. It was also a relief for them that U.S. President Donald Trump did not tweet about Russian involvement even though he ordered the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats.

    II. Keeping Islam's historical reality in mind,
    III. In non-Muslim majority countries,
    Solutions
    Option I: From ‘to promote knowledge of Islam among Muslims and non-Muslim,’ one can consider ‘An Islamic organisation’ Also, ‘organisation’ and ‘educational products’ can be linked. So, this option can be used.

    Option III: If we use this option, then the sentence will become ambiguous. The sentence will make sense when it will be connected with Muslim dominated countries or Islamic countries.
