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 solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks in the provided statements with the correct terms based on our knowledge of biology, specifically structural organization in animals.

### 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.
- **Fill in the blanks:**
- `ul(1)` = "tall"
- `ul(2)` = "nuclei"
- **Explanation:** Columnar epithelium consists of tall and slender cells, and their nuclei are typically located at the base of the cells.

2. **Statement (ii):** Collagen fibres provide `ul(3)` and elastin fibres provide `ul(4)` and elasticity to the tissue.
- **Fill in the blanks:**
- `ul(3)` = "strength"
- `ul(4)` = "flexibility"
- **Explanation:** Collagen fibers are known for providing strength to tissues, while elastin fibers provide flexibility and elasticity.

3. **Statement (iii):** Adipose tissue is a `ul(5)` type of connective tissue located mainly beneath `ul(6)`.
- **Fill in the blanks:**
- `ul(5)` = "loose"
- `ul(6)` = "the skin"
- **Explanation:** Adipose tissue is a type of loose connective tissue that primarily stores fat and is located beneath the skin.

4. **Statement (iv):** Tendons attach `ul(7)` to bones and ligaments attach `ul(8)` to bones.
- **Fill in the blanks:**
- `ul(7)` = "muscles"
- `ul(8)` = "bones"
- **Explanation:** Tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to other bones.

### Final Answers:
- For Statement (i): `ul(1)` = "tall", `ul(2)` = "nuclei"
- For Statement (ii): `ul(3)` = "strength", `ul(4)` = "flexibility"
- For Statement (iii): `ul(5)` = "loose", `ul(6)` = "the skin"
- For Statement (iv): `ul(7)` = "muscles", `ul(8)` = "bones"
