Choices

6

Choice-A

The sentence is grammatically correct and logically clear. It shows cause and effect: the passengers sighed because the flight was delayed, and it also explains what the crew was doing at the same time. No awkward phrasing or punctuation errors.

Wrong No change

7

Choice-B

The given option is grammatically correct, but wordy and repetitive. Reordering makes the sentence heavier without improving clarity. The original (Choice A) flows more naturally.

Correct While the crew tried to manage the situation, the passengers sighed in frustration as the flight was delayed again.

8

Choice-C

The given option is incorrect because of the use of a semicolon. A semicolon cannot be used to connect a dependent clause (“While the crew tried to manage the situation”) with an independent clause. This makes the sentence grammatically wrong.

Wrong While the crew tried to manage the situation; the passengers sighed in frustration as the flight was delayed again.

9

Choice-D

The given sentence has several errors: “While the crew try” → should be “tried” for tense agreement. Mixing “As” and “While” at the beginning makes it confusing. Awkward and ungrammatical structure overall.

Wrong As the flight was delayed again While the crew try to manage the situation, the passengers sighed in frustration.
