The correct answer is- 'CABD.' Key Points

  • By reading the above-given options we can understand that the passage is about a volcanic eruption.
  • A will follow C as it provides a reason why there were no green things including plants and grass.
  • B comes next as the coordinating conjunction (and) joins the two statements (A and B) of the same degree showing the effects of a volcanic eruption.
  • Now the only option that remains is D. It will come at last as the definite article (the) suggests that information has been provided about this volcano in preceding sentences.
  • Thus option 4 is the correct answer.

The correct sequence is:
C. After the eruption of the Paricutin volcano, for 100 miles no green thing, not even grass, could live.
A. Plants on the farms died whenever the wind brought ashes from the volcano.
B. And birds fell from the sky, dying before they reached the ground.
D. The volcano had brought complete ruin to seven villages in the valley.
Important Points   

  • Here are some tips to solve the para jumbles:
    • You need to understand the idea behind the paragraph. If you can understand the idea/theme of the paragraph it is easy to put the sentences in order then.
    • You should look out for the starting or the concluding sentences in the question. Sometimes they are clearly visible and can help you immensely in identifying the correct sequence.
    • You need to know the relationships between different sentences to put them in the right sequence. 
    • You should first fix the relationships of sentences, put them in order and then check the options.
    • Transition words and contrasting words also help in finding clean relationships between sentences of the sentence rearrangement.
    • Do not over depend on options, they only confuse you if you keep looking at them, use them as facilitators only, especially to fix your first sentence.
    • The whole paragraph should have a coherent idea and flow when arranged in the correct order.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
Riparian vegetation [the green band of vegetation along a watercourse] can help stabilize stream banks; filter sediment from surface runoff; and provide wildlife habitat, livestock forage,and scenic value. Well-developed vegetation also allows bank soils to absorb extra water during spring runoff, releasing it later during drier months, thus improving late-summer stream flows. In many parts of the arid West, trees and shrubs are found only in riparian areas. Woody plants are very important as winter cover for many wildlife species, including upland game birds such as pheasants and turkeys. Often this winter cover is the greatest single factor limiting game bird populations. Woody vegetation also provides hiding cover and browse for many other species of birds and mammals, both game and nongame. Dead trees ("snags") are an integral part of streamside habitats and should be left standing whenever possible. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, brown creepers, and other birds eat the insects that decompose the wood. These insects usually pose no threat to nearby living trees. Occasionally a disease organism or misuse of pesticides will weaken or kill a stand of trees. If several trees in a small area begin to die, contact your local extension agent immediately . What is the overall sense conveyed by the author when the specific birds that live in riparian areas are listed in the passage?
