Solution :
A
and E could have made a pair, but since the preposition “at” is
mentioned in E, the sentence, if made, will be grammatically incorrect. Part A
clearly mentions that climate change is a long-term change, hence the
preposition “over” should be used instead of “at”.

C- D and A- F
Solution
A and D make a meaningful
and grammatically correct pair and talk about the popular trekking routes in
Darjeeling. B and F could be linked, but there is a grammatical error in F.
Here in this question the “layer” is a singular subject and “protect” is a
plural verb. Since there is only one ozone layer, “protects” should
be used to agree with it. C and E cannot be paired as “crops” are
things and cannot use the pronoun “who”. Thus, option (a) is the correct answer.
