S1. Liberalisation changed the contours of India's economy. S2. India is today poised to become one of the top economies of the world. The second statement:
A.contradicts the first
B.contrasts with the first
C.correlates to the first✓ Correct
D.coincides with the first
Explanation
The first statement says liberalisation transformed India's economy. The second statement claims India is now poised to become one of the world's top economies. The second statement is a logical consequence/correlate of the first — the changes brought about by liberalisation are linked to India's current strong economic position. The statements do not contradict or contrast; they are not identical so 'coincides' is inaccurate. 'Correlates to the first' best captures the connection where the second statement relates to and follows from the first as a related outcome. Therefore (c) is correct.
