Given below are six sentences taken from a paragraph. The first and the last sentences are numbered S1 and S2 and are placed in the first and last positions respectively and are fixed in their positions. The other four sentences between the first and last sentences are jumbled up and are numbered A, B, C, and D. Rearrange the jumbled sentences in a logical sequence keeping the unity and coherence of the paragraph intact. Choose the correct alternative that best describes the sequence.
S1. At last Vladimir perceived that he was going in the wrong direction.
A. His horse could scarcely move forward.
B. He turned to the right now.
C. He had now been on the road for more than an hour.
D. He stopped, began to think, to recollect, and compare, and he felt convinced that he ought to have turned to the right.
S2. Jadrino could not be far off.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Sentence ‘D’ directly follows S1. After realizing he is lost, he stops to think and concludes he should have turned right earlier.
As he thought he would have turned right, and then he turned to the right. (Sentence B)
Sentence ‘C’ is directly linked to S2’ as it links sentence “C” (He had now been on the road for more than an hour) and S2 (Fixed): Jadrino could not be far off.
Conclusion: After moving on the road for more than an hour, he found Jadrino could not be far off.
Hence DBAC is the correct sequence.
