CAT 1991 — VARC Question 3
VerbsEasy
From the statements in questions choose the one that expresses the idea most correctly.
Answer & solution
Correct answer: Because he was afraid of the defendant, he was unwilling to testify.
- A
He was unwilling to testify, he was afraid of the defendant.
Because he was afraid of the defendant, he was unwilling to testify.
- C
He was unwilling to testify: he was afraid of the defendant.
- D
Because he was afraid of the defendant he was unwilling to testify.
Solution
As the first part of the sentence provides the reason for his being unwilling to testify, ‘because’ should be
used to introduce it. Moreover a comma should always be used to separate two distinct phrases in a sentence.
Hence, option (b).
