SSC CGL - 24 Sep 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q2

Rearrange the following sentences to form a meaningful passage:

1. Encryption scrambles information to prevent unauthorized access. 

2. Modern cybersecurity relies heavily on cryptographic methods. 

3. Algorithms like RSA and AES secure digital communications. 

4. These ensure data integrity and privacy.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 2-1-3-4.

Logical flow:

2: The passage begins with the broad introduction of the topic i.e. modern cybersecurity and its dependence on cryptographic methods.

1: After introducing cryptographic methods, the next sentence explains what encryption does i.e. it scrambles information to prevent unauthorized access.

3: This sentence further elaborates on the topic by mentioning specific algorithms like RSA and AES that secure digital communications.

4: Finally, the passage concludes by stating the result of using these algorithms i.e. ensuring data integrity and privacy. The word “These” refers to the algorithms mentioned earlier.

Thus, the correct sequence becomes: 2 → 1 → 3 → 4

Final Sentence: Modern cybersecurity relies heavily on cryptographic methods. Encryption scrambles information to prevent unauthorized access. Algorithms like RSA and AES secure digital communications. These ensure data integrity and privacy.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
