Answers:
1. 1; In order to earn a decent living we need a good job as/since it pays substantial amount of money.
2. 5; The action-impact/result type sentences can be converted into a single sentence (perhaps with single possibility!) as follows,
‘Many companies are now penetrating rural India (action) and
it would help to give the country a real change of witnessing a double-digit GDP growth (impact).’
So, given initiating options sounds redundant to form a single sentence retaining its meaning!
3. 2; A possible synthesis could be as,
The concern for the cause of educated unemployment in India our education Minister is making plans to reduce the size of unemployment of the country.
4. 5; We could mingle the two sentences in a simple way as,
Banks charge the different rates of interest and they (rates of interest!) depend on the size of the loan.
So, we don’t need any of given initiators!
5. 3; Instead of educating people against risky financial indulgence, many state governments have been encouraging people to invest their money in lottery. OR
Despite having been educated against risky financial indulgence, many state governments are encouraging people to invest their money in lottery.
