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: A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. B: Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosion above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. C: Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, or tides, which are generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water. D: Thus, tsunami can not be attributed to gravitational pull of the moon or the sun.

D: Thus, tsunami can not be attributed to gravitational pull of the moon or the sun. Correct Answer ABCD

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

  • A is the first sentence because it introduces the subject 'tsunami'.
  • B explains the potential sources of a tsunami. So, B must follow A.
  • C states the difference between normal ocean waves and a tsunami.
  • D reaffirms what is said in C. So, CD is a pair and D concludes the topic in discussion.
