- COnly III
- DOnly I and II
Correct answer
D. Only I and II
Step-by-step solution
Statement I: So overwhelming is the concept of the Anthropocene that it got mainstreamed in scientific and general literature years ago- The statement so formed is meaningful and correct.
Statement II: So overwhelming is the concept of the Anthropocene that it serves as a reminder that failure to end destructive activities will irrevocably change the face of the earth - The statement so formed is meaningful and correct. The first fragment talks about the importance of the Anthropocene and the second adds on to it.
Statement III: So overwhelming is the concept of the Anthropocene that humans will continue to live in the Holocene epoch for a couple of years more- this is correct grammatically but incoherent as there is a mismatch in the subjects discussed in both fragments. Hence, this is incorrect.
Both I and II are correct.
Hence, option D is correct.
