Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. BDCA.
- Statement B is independent and introduces the theme of the paragraph "A grey hare" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement D and C will come respectively as they talk about the activity of the hair "one ear and another ear".
- Finally, A will come at the end of the statement.
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. BDCA.
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 idea or theme of the paragraph 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.
