Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. BCDA.
- Statement B is independent and introduces the character of the paragraph "Dr. Meena Kumar" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement C starts with the pronoun "She" that is used for the noun "Dr. Meena Kumar" hence, C will follow B.
- Only the chosen option starts with "BC" hence, it will be our correct answer.
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. BCDA.
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).
