Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. DACB.
- Statement D is independent and defines the theme of the paragraph "A war" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement A gives the information about "War" hence, it will come after D.
- Only the chosen option stats with "DA" hence, it will be our correct choice.
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. DACB.
The chosen option is the same as the final arrangement hence, it will be correct.
Some common rules that help while solving the Para Jumbles:-
- Read the paragraph carefully and try to comprehend the paragraph's idea or theme and eliminate the irrelevant options.
- Try to identify the opening (Independent statement) and closing statement (Concluding statement).
- Try to identify the mandatory pairs. Two sentences can be connected through various connectors.
- If a statement starts with Pronoun, find the noun for which the pronoun is used, both the statements containing noun and pronoun will form a pair respectively.
