Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. CDBA.
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 C is independent of any other sentences as it is giving general information about "mummy". Hence, C is the first part.
-
The pronoun "his" mentioned in the sentence D refers back to the noun 'Sonu' mentioned in the sentence C. Hence, D follows C.
-
The word 'answered' in the sentence B is linked with the word 'questions' mentioned in the sentence D. Hence, B follows D.
-
The sentence A is the concluding sentence Hence, A is the last sentence.
- Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 1 i.e. CDBA.
The paragraph is: When mummy returned from work, she took Sonu for a walk. But she was too tired to answer all his questions. She answered a few and then stopped. Although Sonu had many more that he wanted to ask, he realised mummy was tired and became silent.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. CDBA.
