Key Points

• The given question is an example of a Para Jumble.
• We know that the first statement of a para jumble question is usually an independent general statement, a noun, a universal fact, starting off a story, starting of an incident or an event, or it starts with 'most' or 'once'.
• In the given question, Sentence A is the first sentence and sentence F is the last one.
• We have to rearrange the rest of the sentences accordingly.
• Sentence A is 'Absulum, the reindeer elf worked in the reindeer barn.' This sentence tells us that 'Absulum' is an elf who worked in the reindeer barn.
• 'Absulum' had to clean this reindeer barn (a large farm building used for storing grain, hay, or straw or for housing livestock). Hence, Sentence B will be the next one.
• As he had to clean this barn every day, it was a very dirty job. Hence, Sentence E will be the next sentence.
• Sentence B will be the next sentence because 'Absulum' kept the reindeer well-groomed.
• Sentence D will be the next sentence because it is connected with Sentence B because it tells what he did to keep the reindeer well-groomed.
• Thus, the sequence becomes:
  • A: Absulum, the reindeer elf worked in the reindeer barn.
  • C: He had to clean it every day, and that was hard work.
  • E: It was such a dirty job to mop, slop, scour and scrape every corner.
  • B: He also had to keep the reindeer well-groomed.
  • D: He had to give them all a bath and brush their fur.
  • F: He worked his fingers to the bone, but it seemed that no one cared.
• Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 2.
