The next fragment would be talking about what they have i.e. courage. The next fragment would be talking about the courage to do something, thereby forming a logical and coherent sentence.


(b) There can be no true governance and development without the equal participation of women at all levels of decision making


Solution: The sentence starts with the subject i.e. ‘there can’. It is further followed by a verb i.e. ‘be’. It is further followed by ‘no true’. The continuing fragment would be talking about the development and government without something. The concluding fragment would be talking about the participation of women at all levels.

Solution: The sentence starts with the subject i.e. ‘I’. The next fragment would be talking about the verb i.e. ‘think’.
