Q25 / 269 · NDA 2025 (Phase 1) · General Ability

Given below are sentences that use discourse markers/expressions to make them complete. Identify the most appropriate discourse marker/expression and mark your answer accordingly in the Answer Sheet:

__________ your transfer request is concerned, we'll be discussing it at the next meeting.

  • Correct answer
    A
    As far as
  • B
    To begin with
  • C
    By the way
  • D
    Talking about

Solution

The phrase 'is concerned' is commonly paired with 'As far as' to introduce a topic of discussion. The complete expression 'As far as [something] is concerned' means 'regarding [something]' or 'with respect to [something]'.

Substituting the other options results in grammatically incorrect sentences. Therefore, 'As far as' is the most appropriate discourse marker.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
