IPMAT Indore 2024 - VA Q69 Explanation

Explanation:

(c)

(a) provides a welcome retreat for them seeking solace This option has a pronoun error. "Them" is used as an object pronoun, but it should be a subject pronoun to refer to the individuals seeking solace. Additionally, the entire sentence is written in past tense whereas this option is written in present tense, which makes it incorrect.

(b) provides a welcoming retreat for those seeking solace This option correctly uses the appropriate pronoun "those" to refer to the individuals seeking solace. However, it should be written in past tense to continue the tense in the entire sentence. Hence, this is incorrect.

(c) provided a welcome retreat for those seeking solace This option changes the verb tense to past tense ("provided") which is consistent with the rest of the sentence, which is in the past tense. Additionally, it mentions the pronoun “those” to refer to those people who look for solace. Hence, this is correct.

(d) provided a welcoming retreat for who seek solace This option has a relative pronoun error. "Who" should be changed to "those" to refer to the individuals seeking solace. Hence, this is wrong.
