Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. DACB.
While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them. Also, the first sentence of a passage is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it.
Steps to arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph:
-
The sentence D is independent of any other sentences as it is giving general information about a "dog". Hence, D is the first part.
-
The noun 'morning' mentioned in the sentence A follows the sentence D. Hence, A follows D.
-
The noun 'afternoon' mentioned in the sentence C follows the noun 'morning' in the sentence A. Hence, C follows A.
-
The sentence B is the concluding sentence. Hence, B is the last sentence.
- Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 3 i.e. DACB.
The paragraph is: Henry D. Penrose was a dog with a pedigree. Each morning he was driven to Obedience School in a black limousine. Each afternoon he was fed two grilled lamb chops for lunch. Each evening he fell asleep in his fur-lined basket in front of the fireplace.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. DACB.
