Given below are four jumbled sentences. Select the option that gives their correct order.
A. Ben was eating an apple, and seemed to be in high spirits.
B. Ben Rogers came into view presently, the very boy whose ridicule he had been dreading.
C. Tom went on dipping the brush into the paint and whitewashing the fence, and paid no attention to Ben.
D. Tom took up his brush and calmly resumed his work.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e DBAC.
- The sentence that seems to be introductory is 'D' as it mentions about the beginning of a work that Tom was doing.
- The next suitable sentence is B as it introduces a new character in the paragraph.
- The best suitable sentence after B could be A as it continues to talk about the character that was introduced in the previous sentence.
- The last sentence for the paragraph is C because it concludes the sentence citing the reason that he did not pay attention to Ben while doing his work.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
