Given below are four statement (i) - (iv) each with two blanks. Select the option which correctly fills up the blanks in any two of these statements
(i) The columnar epithelium is composed of `ul(1)` and slender cells. Their `ul(2)` are located at the base
(ii) Collagen fibres provide `ul(3)` and elastin fibres provide `ul(4)` and elasticity to the tissue
(iii) Adipose tissue is a `ul(5)` type of connective tissue located mainly beneath `ul(6)`
(iv) Tendons attach `ul(7)` to bones and ligaments attach `ul(8)` to bones.

Options

A. (1) tall, (2) nuclei, (7) bones, (8) muscles
B. (1) short, (2) organelles, (3) strength, (4) flexibility
C. (3) strength, (4) flexbility, (5) loose, (6) skin
D. (5) dense, (6) muscles, (7) muscles, (8) bones

Answer

To fill in the blanks of the given statements correctly, we can analyze each statement one by one based on the information provided in the video transcript.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Statement (i)**: The columnar epithelium is composed of `ul(1)` and slender cells. Their `ul(2)` are located at the base.
- From the transcript, we learn that columnar epithelial cells are described as "tall" and "slender." Therefore, we can fill:
- `ul(1)` = **tall**
- `ul(2)` = **nuclei** (the transcript mentions that the nucleus is located at the base).

2. **Statement (ii)**: Collagen fibres provide `ul(3)` and elastin fibres provide `ul(4)` and elasticity to the tissue.
- The transcript states that collagen fibers provide "strength" and elastin fibers provide "flexibility." Thus, we can fill:
- `ul(3)` = **strength**
- `ul(4)` = **flexibility**

3. **Statement (iii)**: Adipose tissue is a `ul(5)` type of connective tissue located mainly beneath `ul(6)`.
- The transcript indicates that adipose tissue is a "loose" type of connective tissue and is located mainly beneath the "skin." Therefore, we can fill:
- `ul(5)` = **loose**
- `ul(6)` = **skin**

4. **Statement (iv)**: Tendons attach `ul(7)` to bones and ligaments attach `ul(8)` to bones.
- According to the transcript, tendons attach "muscles" to bones and ligaments attach "bones" to bones. Thus, we can fill:
- `ul(7)` = **muscles**
- `ul(8)` = **bones**

### Selected Statements:
Based on the analysis, we can select two statements to fill the blanks correctly:
- **Statement (i)**: tall, nuclei
- **Statement (ii)**: strength, flexibility

### Summary of Answers:
- (i) The columnar epithelium is composed of **tall** and slender cells. Their **nuclei** are located at the base.
- (ii) Collagen fibres provide **strength** and elastin fibres provide **flexibility** and elasticity to the tissue.
