Correct Answer BADC
The correct answer is- 'BADC.' Key Points
- By reading the above-given para we can understand that the paragraph is about grapes.
- Part B will come first, as it introduces the subject of the paragraph (Grapes).
- Part A will come next, as the pronoun 'it' refers to the noun 'Grapes'.
- Part C will follow D, as D first mentions the leaves and then comes the flowers and fruits in part C.
- Thus option 3 is the correct answer.
The correct sequence is:
B. The grape is usually a woody vine, climbing by means of tendrils and often reaching a length of 17 metres or more.
A. In arid regions it may form an almost erect shrub.
D. The edible leaves are alternate, palmately lobed and always tooth-edged.
C. Small greenish flowers, in clusters, precede the fruit, which varies in colour from almost black to green, red and amber.
Important Points
- Here are some tips to solve the para jumbles:
- You need to understand the idea behind the paragraph. If you can understand the idea/theme of the paragraph it is easy to put the sentences in order then.
- You should look out for the starting or the concluding sentences in the question. Sometimes they are clearly visible and can help you immensely in identifying the correct sequence.
- You need to know the relationships between different sentences to put them in the right sequence.
- You should first fix the relationships of sentences, put them in order and then check the options.
- Transition words and contrasting words also help in finding clean relationships between sentences of the sentence rearrangement.
- Do not over depend on options, they only confuse you if you keep looking at them, use them as facilitators only, especially to fix your first sentence.
- The whole paragraph should have a coherent idea and flow when arranged in the correct order.
