The correct answer is option 1) i.e. A-D, B-F and C-E.
We need to join the sentence segments in column 1 with those in column 2 to create sentences that are conceptually and grammatically correct. Let us see how the sentence parts can join.
- Part A talks about peoples' thoughts regarding their country, so contextually, it should join with part D that talks about 'patriotism'. So, A-D.
- Part B talks about winds converging at a certain zone. Contextually, it should join with part F as it provides us with the name of that zone. So, B-F.
- Part C talks about almonds having something 'unique', which is an adjective. So, it should join with part E, which begins with the noun 'properties'. Hence the adjective 'unique' modifies the noun 'properties'. So, C-E.
In the given options, all three joined sentences are reflected in option 1, making it the correct answer.

Explanation We need to join the sentence segments in column 1 with those in column 2 to create sentences that are contextually and grammatically correct. Let us see how the parts of the sentence can join.
- Part A talks about the time when our state (government) should interfere with religion if it ever needs to. So contextually, it should be joined with part E that states conditions when the government should intervene. So, A-E.
- Part B talks about the decision the government has to make before engaging or disengaging with religion. So contextually, it needs to be joined with part D as it provides the conditions that the aforementioned decision depends upon. So, B-D.
- In part C, 'inter-religious issues' is an object while in part F 'works' is a verb. So grammatically, they cannot be joined.
In the given options, the correct answers A-E and B-D are reflected in option 2, making it the correct answer.
