Question and options
______________________________. This happened after a lorry laden with tomatoes worth 21 lakh rupees went missing. One of the three traders who had sent his tomatoes on the lorry said that they had lost contact with the driver in Nashik and that his GPS had been switched off. The traders were not sure if the truck had been hijacked or if the driver had stolen the tomatoes. This is the third time tomatoes have been stolen following the rise of tomato prices to Rs.150 per kg.
- Panic and confusion reigned among traders in the Kolar agricultural produce market
- A couple took the hijacked vehicle to a nearby market and sold the tomatoes there
- Nashik overtook Kolar as the biggest tomato market in Asia
- Three traders jointly hired a lorry to carry tomatoes
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Panic and confusion reigned among traders in the Kolar agricultural produce market
"This happened after a lorry ... went missing" needs an opening sentence describing the traders' reaction: panic and confusion in the Kolar market. Three traders hiring a lorry is not something that "happened after" the loss, and the sentences about selling the hijacked tomatoes or Nashik overtaking Kolar contradict or stray from the uncertainty described.
