Sentence Rearrangement
Sentence Rearrangement as the name itself advocates, consist of sentences not arranged in a logical sequence. A choice of arrangement of the sentences is given from which the candidate has to choose the most logical sequence which would be the most appropriate for conveying the message of the passage.
Type of Questions:
- Four Sentences: In this type, paragraph consists of four sentences which are jumbled and the student is supposed to choose the correct sequence.
- Five Sentences: This type is quite similar to the “four sentence” except instead of four sentences student has to rearrange five sentences.
- Six Sentences: This is a typical one of this chapter where six sentences are given in which first and sixth sentences are fixed. The student has to rearrange the four sentences in between the first and sixth.
Tips to Solve:
Read as they are: It is a kind of reading which gives an overall concept to the reader. In this step student has to tick or write the crucial words to make his remembrance more effective. He has to have an idea of passage by this squashed reading technique’.
Finding either starting or concluding sentences Finding either starting or concluding sentences is also necessary to get the answer properly. In this finding procedure students have to keep an eye in the options too. Therefore finding either starting or concluding sentences can be derived as technical method of logical answer.
Linking sentences: This is a technique of mastering
in jumbled paragraph. In order to get proper linking j sentences students have to identify the main or supplementary ideas which constitute the message j being conveyed by the paragraph. If a clear picture of 1 the main paragraph is found, then the link of the | sentences will be come out automatically. Once the link is found, then obviously the given options will direct the correct answer.
Here is the list of words which are used as linking I devices:
also, again, as well as, as a rule, besides, furthermore, generally, in addition, likewise, moreover, consequently, similarly, to sum up, hence, otherwise, subsequently, later, therefore, thus, for example, for instance, to illustrate, much like, such as, above all, besides, even though, although, despite, probably, due to, unless, whether, until, yet, first of all, to begin with, consequently, considering, I mean, in other words, as a result, last of all, in summary, in conclusion.
Abbreviations or Acronyms: If full form and its abbreviation or acronym are present in two different sentences, then the sentence containing the full form will come before the sentence containing abbreviation or acronym.
Personal and Demonstrative Pronouns: If a sentence contains a personal or demonstrative pronouns (i.e. you, your, he, she, it, they, this, that, these, those etc) without mentioning the person, place or object it is referring to, the person, place or object must have come in the previous sentence.
Checking vocabulary inventiveness For this process a candidate has to look into the starting and the concluding words of the sentences that may have an apparent link. In addition to this students have to concentrate in some particular conjunction words that may appear either ending or starting of the sentences, namely, so, therefore, moreover, meanwhile, nevertheless, notwithstanding etc.
CONCEPTUAL EXAMPLES
Rearrange the following sentences (A), (B), (C), (D) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph, then answer the questions given below them.
1) A. In formal speech, syllables are likely to be more deliberately sounded than in informal speech
B. Yet dictionary editors have no choice but to deal with each word as an individual entity.
C. The pronunciation of words is influenced by the situation.
D. Further, the pronunciation of a word is affected by its position in the sentence and by the meaning it carries.
a) ACBD
b) ACDB
c) ABCD
d) CADB
Explanation: First of all, try to identify the starting and ending/ concluding sentences. Sentences B, D can not be the first sentence as they have the linking words like ‘yet’, ‘another’ which generally indicates continuation to its previous sentences. Sentence-A is speaking about two kinds of pronunciation. But sentence-C has an introduction about pronunciation. Hence, it forms the first sentence. Sentence-A, D are continuation for C as they explain about how the pronunciation is affected.
2) A. It was a fascinating, tempting green, like the hue of the great green grasshopper.
B. Her teeth were very white and her voice had a cruel and at the same time a coaxing sound.
C. While she was uncorking the bottle I noticed how green her eyeballs were.

a) ACBD
b) BACD
c) CABD
d) BADC
Explanation: Here sentence-A, B and D says about what the author has observed while the lady was uncorking the Bottle. Hence, sentence-C forms the initial sentence. And A, B, D follows sentence-C.
3) A set of six sentences is given, in which the first and the sixth sentences are fixed at their respective positions. The four sentences that falls between the first and the sixth sentences are presented in a jumbled form. You are asked to choose the logical order of sentences from the choices.

a) CDBA
b) DCAB
c) BDAC
d) ABDC
Explanation: Here sentence-B has a direct impact on the meaning of sentence-1. Sentence-A describes about the ‘collective strength of the forces’ which is in continuation to sentence-D. And sentence-C keeps concluding task. Hence, the correct sequence is BDAC.
4) 1. Amount of published information available varies widely by industry.
A. Unfortunately for the researcher, many industries do not meet these criteria, and there may be little published information available.
B. Generally, the problem the researcher will face in using published data for analyzing an economically
meaningful industry is that they are too broad or too arranged to fit the industry.
C. However, it is always possible to gain some important information about an industry from published sources and these sources should be aggressively pursued.
D. Larger the industry, the older it is, and the slower the rate of technological change, better is the available published information.
6. If a researcher starts searching for data with this reality in mind, the usefulness of broad data will be better recognized and the tendency to give up will be avoided.
a) ACBD
b) CBAD
c) DACB
d) BDAC
Explanation: Sentence-A tells about the quantity (i.e. amount of published information). The logical sequence of sentence-1 is in sentence-D. Because it starts with ‘larger the industry’ which is logically continuing sentence-1. There is only one option that starts with D. Moreover sentence-B has a coherent link to sentence-6.

Explanations
1) From the given sentences we can say sentence-C and B can not be the starting sentences. Sentence-E speaks about some result or effect or consequence, so can not be the starting sentence. Hence, sentence-A is the starting sentence. Sentence-C follows sentence-B as they deal about calculating effectiveness. And sentences-D and A tell about what to do after calculating the overall effectiveness. Hence, the correct sequence is BCDA.
2) Sentence-D has a definition of cognitive age. Hence, it is the first sentence of the paragraph. Sentence-A follows sentence-D as it gives more information about cognitive age. Here we can ignore sentence-C as the starting sentence because it is not there in the given options. Likewise sentence-C has concluding sense because it gives an ending note of the talk. Similarly sentence-A follows sentence-C as a linking thread.
3) Sentence-A, B starts with conned mg words ‘and’. So they can not be the starting sentences. Sentence-C starts with demonstrative pronoun. So, it can not be the first sentence. Hence, sentence-D can be the starting sentence. Sentence-C follows D. Only one choice that satisfies this order is option-d, DCAB.
4) B is a starting sentence because it begins with an important matter about ‘intelligence’ leading by an initiative conjunction when ‘. Similarly C concludes the matter because it leaves a thought to the reader, where as D and A have link between them. So, the correct order of the sentences is BDAC.
5) Obviously ‘A’ initiates the paragraph because the passage is about ’pragmatism’. D follows C because without stating any matter we cannot use ’but contrary’ in one sentence which has a linking sense of another sentence. Hence, option-b is correct choice.
6) Sentence-C is well qualified to be the starting sentence with the phrase ’once upon a time’. The demonstrative pronoun ’this’ in sentence-D realtes to the ’fashioning of foreign policy of non-aligment’. So, sentence-D follows sentence-B. Sentence-A is the continuation for sentence-D. So, the correct order of sentences is CBDA.
7) The word ’this’ in sentence-A and B, ‘then can be’ in sentence-C says they are not well qualified for starting the passage. So, sentence- D is the first sentence. Sentence -D says ‘one daughter and one son’, which has a logical connection to sentence-A. Observe the phrase ’this overall error’ in sentence-B. It means already something has stated about the error’, which is there in sentence-C So,the correct order of the sentences is DACB
8) Here we can undoubtedly take D as a starting sentence. Because from the words, ’it’ in sentence – A, ’and’ in sentence – B, and ’did the same’ in sentence-C, we can understand something has already started before these sentences. Similarly concluding meaning of the topic ends at B. Likewise ’A’ comes after ‘D because here the subject ’if refers to ‘the government’ which is there in ‘D’. Hence, the correct order is DACB.
9) Here, ‘B’ is the starting sentence. D logically relates to ‘B’ by the figure T990-91′. ‘C has a concluding nature from the word ‘infact’. So, the correct order of the sentences is BDAC.
10) Sentence-A gives the complete theme or the paragraph. The phrase ‘city life’ in sentence-A points to ’Bombay’ w sentence-D. Sentence-D is an example, elaboration and continuation for sentence-A. The pronoun ‘it’ in sentence-C points to the word ‘the provcrty’ in sentence-B. So, the correct order is ADBC.
11) Sentenee-c starts the paragraph the pronoun ‘he’ in sentence -D refers to ’a young American’ in sentence-C sentence-D comes before sentence-B. Because D’ has introductory information about the person. Hence, the correct order of the sentences is CDBA.
12) From the given sentences, we can easily say sentence-D starts the paragraph. Sometimes the given options also helps arranging in the proper order from option-a and d, we can say ‘C is die second sentence. The pronoun ’they’ in sentence-B refers to ‘writers’ in ‘C. Hence, the correct order of the sentences is DCBA.
13) B is the key of this paragraph as it has the leading subject ’central programs’, the whole topic is based only on this . C follows B with the linking conjunction ’as’. D comes after C because it has an introductory subject ’it’ that refers to those previous sentences B, C. Hence the correct order is BCDA.
14) The whole talk is all about the discussion of the Realists regarding objective reality so it has an j initiative nature. B has a direct following nature of A because it tells about the existing nature of the reality that has a link with A. C follows B with subjective pronoun ‘they’. D remains last.
15) Here sentence-B initiates the paragraph because it starts the topic by the directive subject ‘India’. Then A prolongs the matter in a descriptive way expressing ’strong manufacturing base’. C points out the main figure so definitely comes after A. The word ‘however’ in D has a conclusing nature.
16) Observe the words ‘in emission trading’ in ‘A’, ‘this approach’ in ‘B’ and ‘it then’ in ‘C. They are not qualified to be the starting sentence. Hence, C is the initiative sentence. There is only one option that starts with’C’.
17) In C we find the prime matter of a topic. From the phrase ’various industries’, which is an important matter of this paragraph. So C is a starting sentence. A supports C categorizing the meaning. B has concluding meaning therefore B comes after D.
18) Sentence-A gives an introduction about all kinds of demands. Hence initiates the paragraph. ‘D’ links to ‘A’ as it states the detials about ‘the demand of individual’. ‘B’ has an apparent conclusive meaning to finish the topic with a phrase ‘at the same time’.
19) Here ’D’ starts the topic about ‘the conqueror’ so it initiates the paragraph. ‘C’ links with ‘D’ because of its subjective pronoun, ‘he’. ‘B’ is an explanation of ‘C’, so comes after ‘C’. ‘A’ concludes the topic with results like ‘secret person shall strike with weapons’.

Explanations
1) The paragraph is about the practice of the scientists. The proper of initiation of the paragraph is in sentence- 13 (in practice what often happens). ‘C follows ‘B’ because it excels the following meaning. Similarly ‘A’ comes after ‘C’ as it gives a lot of explanation of the scientists. ‘D’ and ‘E’ have interlinked between them.
2) Both ‘A’ and ‘B’ are confusing with regard to the starting sentence. But ‘A’ starts the topic of the paragraph. ‘D’ follows ’A’ since ‘D’ excels the meaning of ‘A’. ‘D’ starts the topic about ‘channel or transmission media’ and D excels its explanation of ‘different types of channels’. C’ tells about the depend of channel choice so comes after ‘D’. ‘E’ molds the present topic in a second variation including subordinate clause ‘today due to the use of various mobile devices’.
3) Here the topic starts about the delivery activities of teachers in East Asia, so it is categorized only in ‘R’. ‘P’ accentuates ‘R’ with its pleasant explanation about the activities of teachers. ‘P’ and ‘S’ have interlinked regarding sequence. T’ finally ends the topic with reference to a conclusive statement.
4) Here sentence initiation goes to ‘C’. ‘E’ explains the meaning of ‘C’. Hence ‘E’ comes after C’. ‘A’ supports ‘E’ because ‘A’ explains about the ‘information age’ which is related to how talent has emerged. ’D’ and ‘B’ have interlinked with a conclusive meaning. Therefore the correct sequence is CEADB.
5) ‘B’ starts a thematic concern about ‘brand loyalty’. ‘D’ supports ‘B’ by a linking phrase ‘as with products’. ‘C’ explains about why ‘loyalty’ is quite simple. So, ‘C’ comes after ‘D’. Undoubtedly ‘E’ has concluding theme with a linking word ‘ultimately’. Hence, the correct sequence is BDCAE.
6) The paragraph is about certain problems in organizations. ‘C’ categorically leads the theme. ‘E’ explains about what is ‘enemy’ referred to in ‘C. So, ‘E’ follows ‘C’. ‘A’ explains about the nature and place of occurrence. So, ‘A’ comes after ‘E’. ‘B’ has concluding nature from the phrase ‘as a result’.
7) B’ starts the paragraph as it tells about the quality of the people. ‘D’ accentuates the regular point of ‘B’ about the dealing and multiple factors. Hence ‘D’ comes after ‘B’. ‘A’ supports ‘D’ by giving special power of the present topic. ‘C’ and ‘E’ are linked to eachother by showing different facets. Therefore, we have the sequence BDACE.
8) A is a starting sentence. E is correctly supporting A so E comes after A. D has only the right sense to come after E because the whole topic is about ‘the education and its value’. D rightly shows the link with E stressing about ‘open door of opportunity’. There is only one option where we can find this sequence.
9) The topic accentuates the theme of shifting the industrial age to information age. So, C has righteously the initiative. B explains about C with some examples so comes after C. E tells about how it can come to zero A is showing example. So A comes after E. Obviously D is a concluding sentence because of its conclusive phrase at the same time’.
10) The topic is about the understanding of data. So, A starts the passage. D tells about the problems of understanding the data so D comes after A. B is the continuation for D. E has a solution of this talk because E shows one idea how to make sense of the data. So, E comes after B. C concludes whole talk.
11) The main theme of the topic is about the negative side of politicians and political system. B starts the paragraph because it has the supporting statement for the argument about politicians and political system. E is strengthening the point which is brought by B so E follows B. A follows E because E is finishing with the two house of parliament which A has described. C should be the next statement becaq.se it is trying to bring some examples for the main theme. Clearly D is concluding the paragraph with the evidence from the survey.
12) If we observe carefully, the main topic in the discussion is on ‘longer working hours’. B starts the paragraph because it is initiating the problem. D is another example for the problem in the B so D follows
B. E is bringing a new study on the same ‘problem explained in B so E should be next. Here is the interesting twist A brings the solution of the problem and continues explaining how the problem has stilLnot reduced but increased significantly, now C should follow A because C continues in explaining about the increased problem.
13) The topic is all about effective interpersonal communication and the essentials of good eye contact so B can only start the paragraph. Out of three options (2,3,4) B is given as initiator therefore it is to be concerned about finding the right choice so we should get the link sequence. Only D is fit to come after B because D has a supportive pronoun ‘it’ that is the theme of B. E comes after D because E shows the connection with D referring ‘often, however’. E again states about the effectiveness of interpersonal communication with reference to listening skills by ‘it’ a supportive pronoun. C excels the development of the previous talk. A anyway concludes the theme.
14) A has a key role to start the topic as it is depicted in the meaning of ‘ensuring results in an effective delivery system’. Then D excels the meaning with ‘conceptual spirit of the private sector’. C explains about ‘quantum’ reforms needed to take off with a supportive pronoun ‘it’ that refers to D. E has conclusive manner of the topic proving the most difficult aspects of the reform journey.
15) C starts the topic about ‘roll out of new information technology’ and A supports C by telling rapid growth of the internet and its consequence. D combines the two factors. B points out the predictions revealed in A and D. E concludes the theme of the paragraph expressing the view of the revolution that can be often attributed.
16) Here C starts the theme of the topic expressing about ‘open university7 courses and its networking systems’ and B supports A telling the simplest level of networking systems. E comes after B because E tells about what is to be reduced to access high tutoring. A obviously supports E because it is a result of E.
17) In this paragraph we should not be confused to find the starting sentence though our confusion may go between A and C. Our right choice must be C because it depicts on the technology of rich educational environment learning and that is presented in a starting format. Then A comes to excel the topic. D is an addition to this talk. E explains the same sequence.
18) B has the starting nature of the present topic because it spells out the work of speeding up which is the prime factor of the paragraph. D supports B in a linking word ‘indeed’. E reacts about the cause so this is a sequence BDE. C points out another strategy with a link of A.
19) Here A has starting nature of die paragraph as it tells about the theme regarding ‘the breadth of lifelong learning’. Out of three options (a, c, d) the right choice goes to 3 as it has the proper sequence of the remaining sentences too. C and E are direct linking sentences of A as they excel the thematic concern of A. D obviously concludes the theme of the paragraph.
20) Here A starts the topic as it says about the theme of the paragraph ‘the professional qualities’. D supports A with an explanation about ‘One experienced mentor’s main concern’ so D comes after A. C has a supportive pronoun ‘he’ so comes after D with relevant meaning. B excels the meaning in another point of view one experienced mentor consistently suggested alternative ways’ with a relevant phrase ‘On the other hand’.
21) The term the globalization of English’ is the key of the paragraph so C is the starting sentence. E comes after C with a supportive pronoun ’it’ that directly shows the relevant meaning of C. B is the result of C and E so B comes after E. A is concluding question to the reader.
22) C starts the theme as it says about ’course book’ the related matter of the paragraph. B comes after C with supportive pronoun ‘they’ directly referring to C. D points out the fact of ‘ their effectiveness will be their inherent suitability for the context’ so comes after B. A tells about ’teachers attitudes to course books’
So comes after D.
23) A starts the paragraph with the theme ’explicit knowledge’. C points the fact in supportive pronouns ’they’ and ’them’ so comes after A. E eases the fact in a direct link to C. B states die essence of the theme.
A set of six sentences is given, in which the first and the sixth sentences are fixed at their respective positions. The four sentences that falls between the first and the sixth sentences are presented in a jumbled form. You are asked to choose the logical order of sentences from the choices.

Explanations
1) D is obviously a direct follower of the sentence 1 because D supports 1; it is a coherent link between them. Similarly B follows A because A has a statement that is explained in B. C remains as last option.
2) Here D has a vital meaning to become the follower of 1. Similarly C has the direct sense to be linked with D.B segregates the total meaning into another part where as A supports B. Again A makes a link with 6. Ignoring A to come between B and 6 the meaning of the conclusion part will be dismissed.
3) Here B follows 1 with its linking phrase ‘in the beginning’. C cuts the meaning into a secondary step hence it follows B. A restarts the topic in linking manner with C. Automatically D remains showing the link with 6. Moreover there is only one option that starts with B.
4) Here sentence 1 shows a direct link to D because the thematic concern is related between them. B again initiates the second part of the meaning in a coherent link with A. Similarly C has an apparent link with 6. Moreover there are two options start with D but C cannot be a follower of D because it directly explains another matter which is no way related to D.
5) Here thematic link depicts on B. A follows B because the one talk of ’science1 is encircled within these three sequence. Later D starts second talk with C that is a creative link to 6.
6) For the constructive method of the paragraph, as it is started by a question. Hence the answer is to be found out regarding answering mode of the sentence. B initiates a direct mode of answering with its directive subject ‘it investigates income sources’. Likewise A illustrates the meaning of B in a supportive phrase ‘tax¬payers’. C follows the continuity of the meaning initiating an adverb ‘ Exactly’ in the beginning.
7) Information in B is a vital part to be understood about the link with 1. ‘Sharp ideological differences’ has the reflective norm with ‘the fragile yugoslav state’. Similarly A creates a supportive link after B and C with the word ‘thus’.
8) The sequence of meaning is also important to find the link between sentences; it depicts sometimes framing of words in order to circulate the meaning in a systematic way. Here words of B ‘Indian industrialization’ & words of 1 ‘Indian experience of industrialization’ are having sequential meaning hence it is a link. Likewise A comes after B scattering a normal phrase with it’ in 1947′.
9) A should be initiator because of its composing meaning with 1. B supports A expressing ‘the objective is simple’. D has concluding nature to be linked with 6; ‘the thrust of new policy’ quoted in D is explained in 6 by ‘ this is to be achieved’.
10) Explanatory meaning of 1 is depicted in a straightforward way at C about the significance of the common objections ’ although competition and justice may have little else in common’. Similarly D explains the remaining thought of the meaning of C expressing ‘the choice’. B comes after D rendering another thought of choices.
11) Out of all three options BCD no one has linking quality with 1. A is rightly fit after 1 because the phrase ‘after the partition of the Indian subcontinent’ shows the link with 1 about the regional integration in South Asia and the liquidation of the British Empire. B explains the extension of the meaning about India, Pakistan. D holds the content of the total talk hence comes after B.
12) Here the first link is between ‘the demand for petroleum product’ of D with ‘commercial energy consumption’ of 1. Similarly A holds the continuity ‘the demand, for petroleum’ in same manner. C is a direct explanation of D & A. Even in the given answers there is only one option that starts with this sequence DAC
13) The whole matter of talk persuades the meaning of ‘the success of any unit in a competitive environment’ and there is a co-relative sentence that signifies ’cause for poor generation of surpluses’ it’s C and its added meaning covers at B. Again D excels ‘the lack of a mechanism in Indian tax Laws’ that directly relates to B
14) The present sentence 1 is based on ‘Count Rumford’ depicting link at A as ‘He’ initiates subjective pronoun. However second initiation of the topic starts at C expressing another personality and his work ‘Lavoisier’. So C comes after A. Again an apparent explanation of the starting sentence about ‘Rumford’ is clearly visible at D.
Similarly B maintains the remaining sequence.
15) A has a direct link with 1 because 1 expresses that the death of cinema and A states that never happened. Similarly B comes after A because B accentuates a meaning regarding the killing of cinema by the television. Then D supports B because D tells about home computer as its projecting nemesis.
16) In sentence rearrangement we need to arrange the sentences in a meaningful and a sequential order, only then the standard of language will be focused. Here if we take D first in our sequential sentence order then it can create an appreciable order of meaning undoubtedly. Sentence 1 is telling about ‘the idea of a sea-floor spreading’ and ‘the theory of plate tectonics’ that is directly relating with D, where D is telling the formulation of the sea-floor spreading hypothesis’.
Similarly C is supporting D with an explanation of the same process. B keeps the topic one step ahead with a subordinate clause ‘In its original version’.
17) Starting sentence-1 explains about ‘visual recognition’ and the circumstances of involvement and it has a direct link with C, because C points out the controversy surrounding the question of ‘visual recognition’ the prime matter of the sentence 1. Then A is supporting C because it is explaining about the step of the Psychologists regarding the said matter. Moreover 6 encompasses D to its circle because of its linking meaning ‘internal recognition’. Therefore we have the sequence CABD.
18) B explains about 1 because 1 is about the history of mammals and B explains it’s evolutional changes. D spells out the sequential explanation after B about ‘average size’, ‘larger mental capacity’. C excels the topic into a progressive way So C comes after D. Similarly A follows C.
