    TV channels tend to drive a deep wedge even in the internal social life of a country. Citizens often seek an internal target to vent their aggression.
    I. In the time of “peace,”
    II. In effect
    III. Because
    Solutions

    ‘Drive a deep wedge’ means to cause discord between two people or things. The second sentence can be considered as an explanation or a reason for the first sentence. The first sentence left us with the question asking for the reason or intention of TV channels for doing so. Thereby, option III can be used. Option II makes no sense. Option I is in a sarcastic tone and goes well with “vent their aggression.” Hence, option III can also be used.

    New sentence:

    In the time of “peace,” TV channels tend to drive a deep wedge even in the internal social life of a country because citizens often seek an internal target to vent their aggression.

    Logo-mimetic fiction defines language as an act perceived unto itself – characteristically a trope that will generate a narrative moment. The language imitated is not the meaning of the fiction.
    I. Although
    II. Meanwhile
    III. Since
    Solutions
    “Logo-mimetic fiction defines language as an act perceived unto itself” means that logo-mimesis is a language imitating itself. So, the figurative or metaphorical use of words or expressions will generate a particular articulation of experience within literature. In simple words, it will generate a story. But the story is not the meaning of the fiction.
    We can clearly decipher that the first and the second statement are in contrast.
    Therefore, option A is the apt answer.

    New statement:
    Although logo-mimetic fiction defines language as an act perceived unto itself – characteristically a trope will generate a narrative moment – the language imitated is not the meaning of the fiction.
