Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 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:
- Sentence D introduces us to the vague subjects 'Sudhir and Mahima'. It is the introductory sentence and will be put in the first place.
- Sentence A tells us about the completion of Mahima's castle. It will be put in second place.
- Sentence C tells us about the specifications of the castle of Mahima. So it will follow Sentence A.
- The last sentence is B as it mentions the progress of the castle of Sudhir.
- Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 4 i.e. DACB.
The paragraph is: Sudhir and Mahima settled down on the sand and each began to make a separate castle. Soon, Mahima’s castle was ready. It was beautiful with big and small domes and arches. As for Sudhir’s castle, even the walls weren’t ready yet.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. DACB.
