Given below are four jumbled sentences. Select the option that gives their correct order.

B. The district collector announced a gallantry award and financial aid for his family.
C. A soldier died fighting in the battlefield.
D. The money was promptly disbursed from the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. CBDA.
- Statement C is independent and introduces the theme of the paragraph "Soldier" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement B contains "Gallantry Award and Financial Aid" and the pronoun for it is being used in statement A for "Gallantry Award" hence, will come after B.
- Only the chosen option follows this arrangement hence it will be correct.
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. CBDA.
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.
