The following questions have the second sentence missing. Choose the appropriate alternative to complete it.

B. _____________________________________________________.
C. Unfortunately, the car’s registration number was not noted down.

b. His parents are worried
c. Vinod left home on his own
d. An eyewitness saw the boy being forcefully taken in a black car

Answer 1

Hint: As you can see in the given question there is an incident and someone saw it. Now you need to find a sentence that gives it some sequence and connects these two dots and makes a meaningful paragraph out of it.

Complete solution: Now, let us haggle with the options that are given to us and try to find out the one that best suits the above-given problem.
Let us look into the option –
Option a, the given sentences describe Vinod as missing and that the car’s registration number was not noted down. Thus, as per the sequence, ‘the police being notified’ is not the appropriate alternative.
Option b, the given sentences describe that Vinod is missing and that the car’s registration number was not noted down. Thus, ‘his parents are worried’ is not the appropriate alternative.
Option c, the given sentences describe that the car’s registration number was not noted down so it is obvious that Vinod did not leave home on his own but was kidnapped. Thus, this is not the correct alternative.
Option d, the given sentences describe that Vinod is missing and that the car’s registration number was not noted down. Thus, ‘an eyewitness saw the boy being forcefully taken in a black car’ is the most appropriate and logical alternative as it connects the missing boy and the car.

As you can see, option d is the correct option.

Note: Try to work in chronological order as not to change the meaning of the sentence while completing it or get it wrong.
