Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. BACD.
- The first statement of a para-jumbled sentence will always be an independent general statement, a noun, a universal fact, starting of an incident, or it starts with 'most' or 'once'.
- Clearly, sentence B is an introductory sentence as it talks about Christmas and the new year.
- Sentence A further tells us about the holidays that are provided during this time of the year.
- Sentence C follows Sentence A and talks about winter carnivals and Christmas bazaars during the time of Christmas and New Year.
- Sentence D will be the closing statement which talks about the hindrance caused to these celebrations after the covid struck.
Thus, the correct paragraph is:
Christmas and New Year are the time of the year to celebrate. Schools are closed for the Christmas and winter break at this time of the year. For the second time in a row, we are likely to see restrained celebrations for fear of the pandemic raising its ugly head again. For the second time in a row, we are likely to see restrained celebrations for fear of the pandemic raising its ugly head again.
