Question

Selecting the head is a tough decision to make, ___________, it __________ ends in a fiasco. 

• A. therefore, rarely
• B. nonetheless, usually
• C. yet, seldom
• D. surprisingly, always
• E.

Hint:

"Yet" is used to contrast two ideas, while "seldom" indicates rarity. The combination emphasizes that, despite the tough decision, the outcome rarely leads to failure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. Option A: "Therefore" implies cause-effect, but "rarely" contradicts that link.
2. Option B: "Usually" ending in fiasco is an odd, unsupported generalisation.
3. Option C: "Yet" signals contrast and "seldom" completes it logically.
4. Option D: "Always" contradicts the idea of something being "surprising."

The logically consistent pair is in option C, so the correct answer is Option C.
