The second sentence :

The correct answer is
contrasts the assertion of the first

Understanding Sentence Relationship

The question asks to determine the relationship between Sentence 2 (S2) and Sentence 1 (S1).

  • S1 states: "Summer in Delhi is extremely hot."
  • S2 states: "Summer in Shimla is quite cold."

We need to find how S2 relates to the assertion made in S1.

Analyzing Assertions

The core assertion of S1 is about the temperature during summer in a specific location, Delhi, describing it as "extremely hot".

S2 describes the temperature during the same season (summer) but in a different location, Shimla, describing it as "quite cold".

Determining Sentence Co-relationship

Let's evaluate the options:

  • Contradicts: S2 does not directly contradict S1 because they refer to different places (Delhi vs. Shimla). A contradiction would typically involve opposing statements about the *same* subject.
  • Contrasts: S2 presents a condition (cold) that is opposite to the condition mentioned in S1 (hot) for the same season (summer). This highlights a significant difference between the two locations' summer climates. This is the most fitting description.
  • Confirms: S2 does not support or agree with S1.
  • Qualifies: S2 does not limit, modify, or add conditions to S1.

Therefore, S2 contrasts the assertion of S1 by presenting an opposite climatic condition for the summer season in a different geographical area.

The most appropriate co-relationship is that S2 contrasts the assertion of S1.
