SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) • English • Q67

Parts of sentences are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the parts in the correct order to form a meaningful paragraph.
A. They think there are some bitter learning experiences
B. Which, over a period of time, guide them to take a good path
C. Many successful people believe that
D. There is no failure in anybody’s life

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. CDAB.

C (Many successful people believe that) is a good opening — it introduces who holds the view.

D (There is no failure in anybody’s life) follows naturally as the belief itself.

A (They think there are some bitter learning experiences) explains what successful people interpret “no failure” to mean.

B (Which, over a period of time, guide them to take a good path) completes the thought by showing the positive outcome of those learning experiences.

This order (C → D → A → B) builds from a general statement to explanation and result, making a coherent paragraph.

Why the other options are incorrect:

CBDA (2) puts the explanation (A/B) before the assertion (D), breaking logical flow.

BDAC (3) starts with an idea about failure without first saying who believes it — the subject is missing at the start.

CBAD (4) mixes explanation and conclusion awkwardly and doesn’t form a smooth progression from belief → meaning → result.
