Given below are four jumbled sentences. Select the option that gives their correct order.
A. Expert mechanics laboured over the plane for three hours.
B. A small nut had fallen into a channel which prevented the gear from moving.
C. A huge plane was forced to crash land when its landing gear got stuck.
D. They were amazed when they discovered what had caused the mechanical failure.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. CADB.
- Always remember that the opening sentence of a paragraph should always be independent and introductive in nature.
- Sentence C introduces the incident that is being talked about and has no dependency on any other sentence. Thus, it will be our introductory sentence.
- Sentence A further talks about the next step taken by mechanics to fix the fault. Thus, Sentence A will follow sentence C.
- Sentence D is a further extension to sentence A as it tells about the cause behind the mechanical failure.
- Sentence B is our closing statement as it is nothing but an extension of Sentence D.
The correct paragraph is:
A huge plane was forced to crash land when its landing gear got stuck. Expert mechanics laboured over the plane for three hours. They were amazed when they discovered what had caused the mechanical failure. A small nut had fallen into a channel which prevented the gear from moving.
