Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph. A. She hugged my mom and almost screamed when she saw me. B. It was a long ride before we finally reached. C. A plump, over excited woman greeted us at the door. D. Apparently, she had seen me as a baby and behaved as if she didn’t expect me to grow up! Correct Answer BCAD

The correct answer is 'BCAD'.

Key Points While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them. Also, the first sentence of a passage is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it. 

  • Sentence B is the independent sentence and simply talks about a long ride which took the subjects (we) to their final destination. 
  • So, sentence B is the first sentence after rearrangement. 
  • Sentence C describes who(a woman) greeted the subjects when they finally reached. Hence, C follows B.
  • Sentence A which explains how the woman greeted the subjects should come after sentence C, to maintain continuity on the topic. 
  • Sentence D is the concluding statement of the passage as it provides further information regarding the author's thoughts about the woman who greeted them. .

Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 3 i.e. BCAD.

So, the correct paragraph is : (B) It was a long ride before we finally reached. (C) A plump, over excited woman greeted us at the door. (A) She hugged my mom and almost screamed when she saw me. (D) Apparently, she had seen me as a baby and behaved as if she didn’t expect me to grow up!
