Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. CADB.
- Statement C is independent and introduces the theme of the paragraph "Cable and bars of iron" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement A defines the statement C hence, A will come after C.
- "I twisted and made" will make a sequence of actions hence, statement D and B will come respectively.
- 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 and try to comprehend the paragraph's 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 Pronoun, find the noun for which the pronoun is used, both the statements containing noun and pronoun will form a pair respectively.
