In the following question, sentences of a paragraph have been jumbled and labelled as A, B, C and D. You are required to rearrange the jumbled sentences of the paragraph and mark your response accordingly by selecting the correct option. A: Data for COVID-19 is still a long way from giving a complete picture, but it is encouraging that the basic metric of the number of those recovering as a share of confirmed infections is showing improvement in India.  B: The Health Ministry has said that the percentage of recoveries currently stands at just over 25, almost double of what it was two weeks ago. C: National data on other parameters appear similar to disease trends witnessed globally, with the worst outcomes encountered among elderly patients — translating into a case fatality rate of 51.2% for Indians older than 60.  D: What is important to note, however, is that whether it is recovery or death, not all cases are recorded for a variety of reasons. There may be untested people who have recovered.

The correct answer is option 1) i.e. ABCD.

  • A is the first sentence of the passage since it introduces the topics of 'data' for COVID-19, which is being talked about further.
  • B further explains this data in the form of the percentage of recoveries, so B should follow A.
  • C further explains the data on parameters other than the recovery percentage as given in the previous sentence.
  • D does not provide us information about 'data' which is talked in earlier sentences, also, the use of the word 'however' tells us that this sentence is not related to the previous ones, so D must be placed at the end.

Thus, the correct arrangement is : ABCD.
