Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. CADB.
- Statement C is independent and introduces the theme of the paragraph hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement A is a complementary statement hence, it will come after C.
- Statement B starts with "now" which is used to conclude something hence, it will be the concluding statement and will come at the end of the rearrangement.
- So, D will come before B.
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. CADB.
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, try to comprehend the idea or theme, 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 a Pronoun, find the noun for which the pronoun is used, both the statements containing the noun and pronoun will form a pair respectively.
