The question below contains five scattered segments of a sentence. Indicate the sequence which correctly assembles the segments and completes the sentence. A. in 1990, is turning out to be a goldmine for the  B. archaeologists from the Glasgow University  C. a 500-year-old ancient   D. drain in Scotland, which E. lay undisturbed until its discovery

The question below contains five scattered segments of a sentence. Indicate the sequence which correctly assembles the segments and completes the sentence. A. in 1990, is turning out to be a goldmine for the  B. archaeologists from the Glasgow University  C. a 500-year-old ancient   D. drain in Scotland, which E. lay undisturbed until its discovery Correct Answer CDEAB

The correct answer is CDEAB.

Key Points

• C is the part that establishes the beginning of the matter,i.e., ' A 500-year-old ancient  '. Hence, it will be the first part after rearrangement.
• Part D refers to the drain in Scotland. Hence, D follows C.
• Now part E states that this drain lay undisturbed for a long time. So, part E follows D.
• Part A talks about the time it was discovered and how it is turning to be a goldmine, so it must come after part E.
• Part B talks about the importance of the Scotland drain for archaeologists from Glasgow University. Hence, B follows A.

​

Correct rearrangement of segments is - A 500-year-old ancient drain in Scotland, which ay undisturbed until its discovery in 1990, is turning out to be a goldmine for the archaeologists from the Glasgow University.

Hint

• While solving jumbles, one must first look for any independent sentences/segments or the option which establishes the subject matter.
• Then, one must look for connections between the sentences/segments.
• Some sentences/segments might have some concluding notion. So these parts will always be at the end.
