SOLUTION
1) d
We have to join two sentences from the two given columns in a way that they form a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence.The sentence A of the column 1 talks about groups gaining popularity, if we take a closer look we realize that it goes well with sentence E of column 2 as it talks about volunteers of a group helping people suffering from cancer. Similarly, when we take a look at sentence B, we realize that it will go well only with sentence F as sentence B talks about relaxing bedroom environment and sentence F talks about 'how to create that type of bedroom environment.
Hence, pairing will be A-E, B-F, C-D
2) d
We have to join two sentences from the two given columns in a way that they form a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence.The sentence A of the column 1 talks about reforms, here one may be confused between statement D and E as both seem to be completing the sentence A but when we take a look at sentence B, we realize that it will go well only with sentence D.
So pairing will be A-E, B-D, C-F
