Solution
The question is asking you to identify which sentences are grammatically correct and appropriate. Let's analyze each sentence:
(a) In Philadelphia, Siddiqi was looking to come back to India. This sentence is grammatically correct and appropriate. It tells us that Siddiqi, while in Philadelphia, was planning to return to India.
(b) These were times when relatively ordinary people did good work, but brilliant people did extraordinary work because of the interaction they had with each other. This sentence is also grammatically correct and appropriate. It provides a general observation about the times being discussed.
(c) Sidddiqi was right in the midst of this as one of the real brilliant people. This sentence is grammatically correct but there is a spelling mistake in the name 'Siddiqi'. It should be 'Siddiqi' not 'Sidddiqi'.
(d) It was very unusual, while at this centre of intellectual ferment, to decide to return to India and start a laboratory, but this is what Siddiqi wanted to do. This sentence is grammatically correct and appropriate. It provides information about Siddiqi's unusual decision to return to India and start a laboratory.
So, the correct answer is "a and d" because both these sentences are grammatically correct and appropriate.
