Question

Select the most appropriate sequence to make the sentence meaningful-
i) no law giving effect to the policy of the state towards securing all or any of the principles laid in part IV.
ii) notwithstanding anything contained in Article 13
(iii) and no law containing a declaration that it is for giving effect to such policy shall be called in question in any court on the ground that it does not give effect to such policy
(iv) shall be deemed to be void on the ground that it is inconsistent with or takes away or abridges any of the rights conferred by Article 14 or 19
a- ii, i, iii, iv
b- iv, i, ii, iii
c- ii, i, iv, iii
d- i, ii, iii, iv

Answer 1

Hint: The given passage should begin with a subordinate clause, as a subordinate clause does not have the ability to stand alone. Hence, it depends upon the main clause to produce a meaningful sentence.

Complete answer:
As given in the hint, we need to begin the sequence with a subordinate clause-
Sentence ii) is a subordinate clause as it reflects an incomplete idea or thought. Next, we need to join it with the main clause, because a subordinate clause depends upon the main clause.
Sentence i) is the main clause. We need to put a ‘comma’ after the subordinate clause before joining it with the main clause. The main clause is important as it will help in describing the subject and the predicate that is mentioned in the sentence iii) and iv).
Sentence iii) is the subject of the passage.
Sentence iv) acts as the predicate of the main clause.
Hence, the correct sequence should be ii, i, iii, iv.
Now, let’s look at the given options-
Option a- ‘ii, i, iii, iv’ is the correct option as explained above.
Option b- ‘iv, i, ii, iii’ is an incorrect option, because it does not form a meaningful sentence.
Option c- ‘ii, i, iv, iii’ is an incorrect option, because it does not form a meaningful sentence.
Option d- ‘i, ii, iii, iv’ is an incorrect option, because it does not form a meaningful sentence.
So, the correct answer is “Option a”.

Note:
It is important to keep in mind that a subordinate clause always needs a main clause to produce a meaningful sentence. Also, the main clause helps in modifying the subject and the predicate in a sentence.
