Crux:

D

"Orginating" and "perpetuated" are actually parallel to each other

How?

One is present particple and other is past participle

and they parallel also in meaning

"Orginating means getting new life" Beginning of life

"perpetuate means preserving from extinction ie end of life"

It looks greek when explained. But read the explanation of a similar qtn

OG 11. eg. 39

Its very much similar to "spawned" and "extending"

( spawned meant something in the past and extending meant something that still continued onto the present)

Subject-her "The increased popularity and availability" both are related to Television and not related to different things

Its a subject phrase...Subject phrases take singular verbs


2. i always get confused b.w past participal and present participal...so pls elaborate a bit..........


Past participles are used in the Perfect tenses

For regular verb such as "walk" Past participle is formed by adding "ed" to the end

For irregular verbs e.,g. "Begin", Past participle is " Has begun"


Comprehensive list of irregular verbs is given in MG SC



Present participles- "ing"

walk-walking etc


Thanks in advance.
