B. He decided to travel to the office by the metro train.
C. He sent his damaged car to the garage for repairs.
D. Johnny had a car accident.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. DCBA.
- Statement D is independent and introduces the theme of the paragraph "The car accident" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement C "Sent his damaged car" hence, it will come after D.
- Statement B "now he travelled by metro" hence, it will come after C.
- Finally, A will come at the end of the statement.
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. DCBA.
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.
