Important Points

  • Important Rules to Solve the Para Jumbles:
    • Read the sentences attentively and try to comprehend the idea or theme of the paragraph.
    • Try to identify the opening and closing sentences of the paragraph. The sentence independent of the other sentences and introduces the new characters is generally the opening sentence. For the last sentence, look out for the sentence which can conclude the paragraph.
    • Try to identify the mandatory pairs. Two sentences can be connected through various connectors and other determinants.
    • Identify the pronouns which are connecting the sentences with each other.
    • Sometimes it is not necessary to identify all the sentences, we can arrange the sentences by eliminating the irrelevant option one by one.
