The first and the last parts of the sentence/paragraph are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentences are split into four parts and named A, B, C and D. These four parts are not given in their order. Read the sentence/paragraph and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. A computer is basically just a high-speed adding A. the computer is unable to operate until it is programmed to accept the variations. B. The business operations it performs are impressive only because C. If the input data are varied even a little, D. machine that performs the functions it is told to. 6. of the extremely high speed of manipulation.

Since the first part of the paragraph is already given to us, it becomes easy to find the next part as it would link to the first. Similarly, we will keep linking the given parts to form a coherent paragraph.

After reading these parts we come to know that the paragraph is about ‘Computer’. Since, computer is a ‘machine’, therefore part 1 should follow part D. Now, between part B and C, the obvious choice for the third part is part C, because part B forms link (‘because of’) with 6th part of the paragraph. Hence, part C becomes the third part followed by part A. Part B becomes the fifth part of the paragraph.

Thus, the coherent paragraph is- ‘A computer is basically just a high-speed adding machine that performs the functions it is told to. If the input data are varied even a little, the computer is unable to operate until it is programmed to accept the variations. The business operations it performs are impressive only because of the extremely high speed of manipulation’.

These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/ passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. Straight As may be the wrong goal, suggests a new study that has determined learning is optimized when we fail 15% of the time. P. This is a concept that society has intuited for a long time, across a variety of domains — for instance, this just-outside-one’s-grasp learning is observable in video games, in which the player is encouraged or forced to a higher level of difficulty once a performance criterion has been achieved.  Q. In both cases, machines and animals learned the fastest when difficulty was such that the subject would be right 85% of the time and be wrong 15%. But researchers say their finding is likely applicable to humans.  R. Interestingly, it’s not a new concept — the “zone of proximal development,” a theory developed in the 1930s by psychologist Lev Vygotsky described the sweet spot of learning: when a student is faced with a challenge just beyond their ability to solve it alone. It’s a ‘Goldilock’s zone'. S. A ratio, developed by researchers at various universities was tested on computers via machine learning and applied to previous research looking into how animals learn.  6. If one is taking classes that are too easy and acing them all the time, then one probably isn’t getting as much out of a class as someone who’s struggling but managing to keep up.
