b. food court /can try/ different/ food /One/ from/ regions in India/ at the.


c. cultural /there /performances/ are /folk dances /regular/ including

(a) Craftsmen from all over the world come to sell their wares at stalls here.


The starting fragment would be the subject i.e. ‘craftsmen’, the next fragment in continuation would be talking about from where they originate i.e. from all over the world. The next fragment would be talking about the verb i.e. ‘come’. The next fragment would be talking about the purpose of coming somewhere to do something, thereby forming a logical and coherent sentence.


(b) One can try different food from regions in India at the food court


The sentence starts with the subject i.e. ‘one’. It is further followed by a verb i.e. ‘can try’. It is further followed by ‘different food’. The continuing fragment would be talking about trying different food from regions in India. The concluding fragment would be talking about the object i.e. at the food court.


(c) There are regular performances including cultural folk dances


Solution: The sentence starts with the subject i.e. ‘there’. The next fragment would be talking about the verb i.e. ‘are’. The next continuing word would be ‘regular performances’ which is then followed by the connector i.e. ‘including’ and the concluding fragment would be talking about the ‘cultural folk dances’, thereby forming a logical and coherent sentence.
