Direction: Given below the sentences each of which has been divided into five parts. Each of the questions is then followed by the five options which give the sequence of the rearranged parts. You must choose the option which gives the correct sequence of the parts. If the sentence is already arranged or the correct sequence doesn’t match any of the given sequence, mark (E) .i.e. “None of the above” as your answer.
The Cabinet decision last week to set up the International Coalition (1) / towards tackling climate and other environmental (A) / for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure is yet (B) / crises confronting the world (C) / another leadership effort by India (D) / (a) DBCA (b) BCAD (c) BDAC (d) ACDB (e) None of the above
Solution: (c)
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 with the name or purpose of the ‘International Coalition’. The fragment B fits perfectly as the following fragment. Thus, opening fragment and fragment B make a mandatory pair.
This eliminates options A and D immediately.
Further, fragment B ends with ‘yet’ and fragment D begins with ‘another’ and they make sense together. Thus, fragment B and fragment D also make a mandatory pair. Option B also gets eliminated here.
Now, if we read the sequence of fragments given in option C, we find that they make a meaningful sentence together. Evidently, the correct sequence of fragments is: BDAC
Option C is hence the correct answer.
With greater segmentation of credit and different kinds of (1) / large banks that can lend to large companies (A) / as small finance banks, regional banks, non-banking financial companies and fintech serving (B) / banks catering to different customer classes such (C) / the small borrowers, India can do with a few more (D) (a) DBCA (b) CBDA (c) BDAC (d) CDBA (e) None of the above
Solution: (b)
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 talk about different kinds of credit facilities. Since fragment C talks about banks it is confirmed that fragment B is the following fragment. Thus, opening fragment and fragment B make a mandatory pair.
This eliminates options A and C immediately.
Further, fragment C mentions ends with ‘such’ and fragment B begins with ‘as’ and continues with examples of banks. Thus, fragment C and fragment B also make a mandatory pair. Option D also gets eliminated here.
Now, if we read the sequence of fragments given in option B, we find that they make a meaningful sentence together. Evidently, the correct sequence of fragments is: CBDA
Option B is hence the correct answer.
Global conditions do matter, but(1) / come internally, instead of (A) / India is uniquely placed as a large economy (B) / depending on export markets (C) / whose major activity, wealth- and job-creation (D) (a) DBCA (b) BCAD (c) BDAC (d) ACDB (e) None of the above
Solution: (c)
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 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.
Now, if we read the sequence of fragments given in option C, we find that they make a meaningful sentence together. Evidently, the correct sequence of fragments is: BDAC
Option C is hence the correct answer.
Orissa is an outstanding example of learning (1) / acquired the hard way with (A) / every reason to share the expertise (B) / to cope with disasters, and there is (C) / other Indian states and other nations. (D) (a) DBCA (b) CADB (c) BDAC (d) CBAD (e) None of the above
Solution: (d)
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
Option D is hence the correct answer.
The move to subsidize sugar exports, without (1) / areas unsuited for the crop, will tide (A) / any move to discourage cane cultivation in (B) /only to further misallocate resources (C) / over an immediate political problem. (D) (a) BADC (b) CADB (c) BDAC (d) ACDB (e) None of the above
Solution: (a)
We’ll try to find the correct sequence of fragments using elimination technique here.
Out of all the given options , only option B makes sense when paired with the fragment given in bold. Thus, opening fragment should be followed by fragment B.
This eliminates options B and D immediately.
Further, fragment B mentions cultivation and fragment A talks about areas where is cultivation is done despite being unsuitable for the crop. Thus, fragment B and fragment A also make a pair. Option C also gets eliminated here.
Now, if we read the sequence of fragments given in option A, we find that they make a meaningful sentence together. Evidently, the correct sequence of fragments is: BADC
Option A is hence the correct answer.
