Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. CADB.
While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them. Also, the first sentence of a passage is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it.
Steps to arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph:
- Sentence C is the independent sentence and introduce a topic related to a person named Subha and two cows. So, sentence C is the first sentence after rearrangement.
- Sentence A talks about the cows feelings for the central character. Hence, sentence A follows sentence A.
- Now, after going through the options, we find that only option 2 has the sequence we got.
- Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 2 i.e. CADB.
The paragraph is: Subha did really have a close circle of friends and companions; they were Sarbasi and Panguli, the two cows living in their cow-shed. Though they had never ever heard Subha utter their names, they unfailingly recognized her footsteps as she came into their shed. They understood the silent, melancholy tune of her unspoken words during those moments, and the intensity of her expressions more easily than the spoken language of other humans. They even understood the precious moments between them as she loved and cuddled them, scolded them, and pleaded to them.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. CADB.
