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. “The sentence is correct/no rearrangement is required” as your answer.
The whole curriculum was (1) / make desired modifications (A) /so that the participants could (B) / announced by the higher authorities (C) /before the competition starts (D) (a) ADCB (b) BCDA (c) CBAD (d) CBDA (e) The sentence is correct
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 original fragment can be followed by fragment C only, as ‘was + V3 ‘ is grammatically correct.
Thus option A and option B are eliminated
Now option C and option D are left. For concluding the sentence, fragment D is a better option than fragment A. This eliminates option D.
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: CBDA
Option C is hence the correct answer.
One fine day Pandavas and Draupadi (1) / and felt as if their own lives (A) / Krishna had gone back to his original abode ( B) / heard the news that (C) / were of no use (D). (a) CBAD (b) DBAC (c) BCDA (d) CABD (e) No rearrangement required
Solution: (a)
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 it can be followed by a verb. Fragment B starts with ‘Krishna’, it is hence unfit to follow the original fragment.
This eliminates option C immediately.
In case fragment D follows the original fragment, then further fragment D and fragment B do not make a relevant pair. Thus option B is also eliminated.
We are now left with option A (CBAD) and option D (CABD) as fragment C will surely follow the opening fragment. Fragment C cannot be followed by fragment A as it will be grammatically wrong. So option D is also wrong.
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: CBAD
Option A is hence the correct answer.
There are no winners or losers (1) / at the end of a war, while there are (A) / only those who were dead and then the unlucky ones (B) /and those who survived are constantly drowned in (C) /tidal waves of guilt, regret, and pain of losing loved ones (D) (a) DBCA (b) BCAD (c) BDAC (d) ACDB (e) No rearrangement required
Solution: (e)
The arrangement ABCD is correct grammatically and contextually.
India’s significance on the (1) / became a founder member of the League of Nations (A) / conditions of war and India (B) / history rather than by the pomp and (C) / international stage was moulded by (D) (a) DBCA (b) DCBA (c) BDAC (d) ACDB (e) No rearrangement required
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 fragment A and fragment B cannot follow it as ‘became’ will be grammatically incorrect
This eliminates option C and option D.
Further, the absence of article ‘the’ in fragment B makes it incorrect to follow fragment D.
This eliminates option A.
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: DCBA
Option B is hence the correct answer.
It is a common trait in a few humans (1) / from the misfortune of others and (A) / to gain solace (B) / them feel good only for that instant (C) / feeling good in wicked joy but such instincts can make (D) (a) BCAD (b) BDAC (c) ACDB (d) BADC (e) No rearrangement is required
Solution: (d)
Let us try to eliminate wrong options one by one .It can be deduced from the original fragment that it can be only followed by fragment B to make it grammatically relevant.
This eliminates option C.
Further, we see that fragment B and fragment A make a mandatory pair.
This eliminates option A and option B.
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: BADC
Option D is hence the correct answer.
