IPMAT Indore 2025 previous year question on Sentence Completion and Insertion, with the answer and a step-by-step solution.
Choose the sentence that best completes the passage.
An island in Japan boasts of numerous dairy farms that own nearly one million cows, and supplies 70% of the milk sold in the country. These dairy farms have now begun to use cow manure to produce hydrogen. The methane from cow manure mingles with steam in a high-temperature environment to produce hydrogen, which is used to electrify the local zoo. __________________________.
- AThe Indian government too, should replicate this, and use such technology to produce hydrogen
- BIt is a case study of a certain animal that is useful in providing energy for several other animals
- CThis is an exemplary way of creating a sustainable source of energy using innovative technology
- DThis shows how Japan has always used technology to help animals
Answer & solution
Answer: Option C
What a closing sentence must do. It should generalise from the specific example just described — here, turning a waste product into electricity — without adding new topics.
Why option 3 works. “This is an exemplary way of creating a sustainable source of energy using innovative technology.” It names precisely what the example illustrates: waste → energy (sustainable), via a described chemical process (innovative technology). It closes the paragraph on the right level of generality.
Why the others fail:
Option 1 introduces India and a policy recommendation. The passage is purely descriptive; a sudden prescription for a different country is out of scope.
Option 2 is the clever distractor — it is factually derivable (cows power a zoo) but trivialises the point into an animals-helping-animals curiosity, missing the energy and sustainability theme entirely.
Option 4 claims Japan “has always” done this. An unsupported sweeping generalisation from a single current example, and “to help animals” misstates the purpose.
Answer: Option 3
