Select the most appropriate sequence from the given options to make a meaningful paragraph from jumbled sentences.
A. There were some mangoes lying beside him.
B. She looked at the mangoes longingly.
C. Romi was growing fast and was nearly always hungry.
D. Just as he was about to eat one, Kamla came along.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e. CADB.
- Sentence C introduces us to the first character of the story, 'Romi' and something about his features too.
- Sentence A adjoins details to the information provided by the first statement. We get to know this from the usage of the pronoun 'him' and the description of mangoes after it was previously mentioned that he was always hungry. So, this will appear at second place.
- Sentence D will appear at third place as it introduces the second character, 'Kamla'. This sentence also progresses the story by adding the first action that was about to be done by the first character 'Romi'.
- Sentence B becomes the last statement because it adjoins more details about the second character right after she was introduced in the previous sentence. We get to know through the usage of the pronoun 'she'.
This arrangement follows a sequential order where the various events, introduction of characters and details about the same get narrated without making any jumbled sense or losing fluency in it's narration.
