Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ADBC.
- Statement A is independent and introduces the theme of the paragraph "He" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement D also contains "He" hence, it will come after A.
- Statement C contains "They" which is being used for "Villagers" hence, C will come after B.
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. ADBC.
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.
