Sentence Rearrangement mcq for SSC exams

Directions: In this section, As the word suggests, mcq on sentence rearrangement refers to re-arranging a bunch of lines, which are presented in a jumbled manner in the question. Candidates need to arrange the sentences in the correct order and then answer the questions related to the same. Each of the following questions is given with four alternatives suggested for each question. Choose the correct order given and indicate your choice for the right answer.

Read the following group of sentences. The first and the last sentences are numbered 1 and 6, and the rest are numbered P, Q, R, and S. Arrange these four sentences in proper order to form a meaningful paragraph/sentence.

P. with the effect that incentives of participants are not aligned with some treating it
Q. as a shuttle service and others as an unnecessary drag on their time and resources,
R. scuttling the sustainability of car-pooling in that organization
S. often, car-pooling is confused with ad-hoc sharing of rides,
A. PQRS
B. QRSA
C. RSPQ
D. SPQR

The correct answer is option 4) i.e. SPQR.
From the sentence parts, it is evident that part S talks about what car pool participants think. This makes it succeed part P which talks about how participants have non-aligned views. Now these non-aligned views have to result in something and this mentioned in part R which comes after the combination ‘PQ’. Now part S can follow part R, but then the combination results in a meaningless sentence. Hence part S is best suited as the very first part as it describes the misinterpretation regarding carpools. Thus, the correct sequence is – SPQR.

While physical movement
P. activities may not require physical
Q. is important for children, all learning
R. the part of teachers and students
S. movement and facial expressions on
A. PRQS
B. RSPQ
C. QSRP
D. QPSR

The correct answer IS “QPSR”

Then ‘P’ should be in the second position .
‘S’ should be in third position.
‘R’ should come at the last to form the sentence with proper meaning.
Hence, the correct sequence is QPSR

A. DEFACB

D. CFDABE
E. FDACEB

The correct answer IS DAEFCB
Explanation:
Upon reading the above paragraph, we come to see that in A, B, E, F, the names mentioned are short while in D, the full name is mentioned. Hence D is the first sentence. Next we see that Ms. Smitha comes into the picture when Hema is seven years old and hence A is the second sentence. The paragraph revolves around Hema’s learning and hence E states what joins Hema and Ms. Smitha. Sentence F states that the teacher became frustrated at times which is followed by C (starts with ‘But’ which indicates that in spite of something Ms. Smitha’s efforts were rewarded). Sentence B follows stating how the teacher’s efforts were rewarded and is the conclusion to a set of events
