SSC CGL - 20 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • English • Q12

Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the right order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.

A. Indeed, polymers such as regenerated cellulose, which have become familiar household materials under the trade names rayon and nylon, are also made into numerous non-fibre products, ranging from cellophane envelope windows to clear plastic soft-drink bottles.

B. The chemical compounds from which man-made fibres are produced are known as polymers, a class of compounds characterised by long, chain-like molecules of great size and molecular weight.

C. As fibres, these materials are prized for their strength, toughness, resistance to heat and mildew, and ability to hold a pressed form.

D. Many of the polymers that constitute man-made fibres are the same as or similar to compounds that make up plastics, rubbers, adhesives and surface coatings.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. BCDA

  • The first part of the paragraph is generally the independent part so clearly B is the starting of the paragraph.
  • The sentence C should be the next part as it tells about the quality of the polymers according to which they are prized.
  • The next will be sentence D as it tells about all other compounds similar to polymers which make plastics etc.
  • The concluding part will be sentence A as it tells about the daily usage of polymers.

The correct answer is-

The chemical compounds from which man-made fibres are produced are known as polymers, a class of compounds characterised by long, chain-like molecules of great size and molecular weight. As fibres, these materials are prized for their strength, toughness, resistance to heat and mildew, and ability to hold a pressed form. Many of the polymers that constitute man-made fibres are the same as or similar to compounds that make up plastics, rubbers, adhesives and surface coatings.  Indeed, polymers such as regenerated cellulose, which have become familiar household materials under the trade names rayon and nylon, are also made into numerous non-fibre products, ranging from cellophane envelope windows to clear plastic soft-drink bottles.
