The correct answer is "BDCA".

Key Points

  • Sentence 'B' is independent of any other sentences as it is giving general information about "pollution". Hence, 'B' is the first sentence.
  • The demonstrative pronoun 'these' in the sentence 'D' refers back to the "harmful materials" in the sentence 'B'. Hence, 'D' follows 'B'.
  • The noun 'pollutants' mentioned in the sentence 'D' is described in the sentence 'C'. Hence, 'C' follows 'D'.
  • The pronoun 'they' in the sentence 'A' refers to the 'pollutants' mentioned in the sentence 'C' and thus concludes the paragraph. Hence, 'A' is the last sentence.
     

​Paragraph after rearranging the sentences: Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into the environment. These harmful materials are called pollutants.

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.
