    1. Global conditions do matter, but
    A. come internally, instead of
    B. India is uniquely placed as a large economy
    C. depending on export markets
    D. whose major activity, wealth and job creation

A. DBCA
B. BCAD
C. BDAC
D. ACDB


Answer: Option C
Solution: Using elimination technique.
If we read the opening fragment clearly, we can deduce that the presence of ‘but’ indicates that the following part is of an idea contrary to the portion given in bold. While the bold part speaks about global conditions, the fragment B opens with India’s condition, thus confirming fragment B as the following fragment. Thus, opening fragment and fragment B make a mandatory pair.
This eliminates options A and D immediately.
Further, fragment B mentions ends with the mention of the Indian economy and fragment D opens with ‘whose’ i.e., it refers to the economy. Thus, fragment B and fragment D also make a mandatory pair. Option B also gets eliminated here.
  1. Arrange the jumbled words or phrases to make a meaningful sentence or a part of the sentence.
    1. Orissa’s is an outstanding example of learning
    A. acquired the hard way with
    B. every reason to share the expertise
    C. to cope with disasters, and there is
    D. other Indian states and other nations.
    A. DBCA
    B. CADB
    C. BDAC
    D. CBAD
    E. None of the above

Correct Option: D
Solution: We’ll try to find the correct sequence of fragments using elimination technique here.
If we read the opening fragment clearly, we can deduce that the next fragment should continue explaining what the learning is about. This is done in fragment C and it is confirmed that fragment C is the following fragment. Thus, opening fragment and fragment C make a mandatory pair.
This eliminates options A and C immediately.
Further, fragment C ends with ‘is’ and fragment B begins with singular ‘every reason’. Thus, fragment C and fragment B also make a mandatory pair. Option B also gets eliminated here.
Now, if we read the sequence of fragments given in option D, we find that they make a meaningful sentence together. Evidently, the correct sequence of fragments is: CBAD
