The correct answer is "ACDB".

Key Points

  • Sentence 'A' is independent of any other sentences as it is giving general information about "Dengue fever". Hence, 'A' is the first sentence.
  • The phrase "mosquito-borne tropical disease" mentioned in sentence 'A' is linked with the "symptoms" mentioned in sentence 'C'. Hence, 'C' follows 'A'.
  • The "symptoms" mentioned in the sentence 'C' are further described in the sentence 'D'. Hence, 'D' follows 'C'.
  • Sentence 'B' concludes the paragraph by giving information about the recovery after Dengue fever. Hence, 'B' makes the last sentence.

Important Points

  • Important Rules to Solve the Para Jumbles:
    • Read the sentences attentively and try to comprehend the idea or theme of the paragraph and eliminate the irrelevant options.
    • Try to identify the opening (independent sentence) and closing sentences of the paragraph (concluding sentence).
    • Try to identify the mandatory pairs. Two sentences can be connected through various connectors and other determinants. Identify the pronouns connecting the sentences with each other.

Fever in the season of dengue is sending Calcuttans scurrying to hospitals for admission, triggering a shortage of beds that has forced some private health care institutes to even postpone planned surgeries. Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals on the Bypass had 504 patients in its care as on Thursday of whom 70 had been admitted with fever. Belle Vue Clinic had 180 patients, 32 of them with dengue. Calcutta Medical Research Institute had 350 patients 60 of them with fever. The number of people admitted for treatment of fever caused by dengue or any undiagnosed illness has been rising every day across hospitals for more than a fortnight. "There has been heavy pressure on all private hospitals for admission of dengue and cases of unknown fever since the beginning of August. Now it is a surge," said Pradip Tondon, President of the Association of Hospitals of Eastern India. In July, four to five patients were getting admitted with fever on an average in every hospital. The number has since ballooned with the Calcutta Municipal Corporation apparently in denial about the extent of the dengue outbreak and the Government focused on playing down the threat. Such has been the rush of patients with fever that some hospitals are calling up people to postpone admissions planned in advance, mostly for surgeries. "We have told many people to come only when we call them to confirm availability of beds," said an official at Belle Vue.
