The bridge in connection with the two cities will remain closed for security reasons.

a) Being connected from

b) Connects between

c) In connection to

d) Connecting

e) No correction required

Answer: (d)

The primary function of a bridge is ‘to connect’ two places, or in other words the bridge does the function of ‘connecting’ two places.

Option (d) has the word ‘connecting’ in it, so this option has the probability of being a correct option. Now in order to arrive at the conclusion let us consider other options also. In the given option (a) the preposition ‘between’ is incorrect. Option (b) has ‘in connection to’ which means ‘in reference to’ which is not relevant here.

Similarly, option (c) is clearly absurd. Thus, options (a), (b) and (c) are ruled out. Now, it is clear that option (d) is the only correct option.
