B. He made himself busy by collecting old pens and used papers in order to avoid studies.
C. Poonam, the class teacher, was very much loved and respected by her students.
D. Three of them were very intelligent and spent most of their time studying with Poonam.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. CDAB.
- Statement C is independent and introduces the theme of the paragraph "Poonam" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement D talks about the "students" that is mentioned in statement C hence, D will come after C.
- Statement A and B will come together as they are about "Koushal".
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. CDAB.
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.
