Key Points

  • The given question is an example of a Para Jumble.
  • We know that the first statement of a sentence jumbled question is usually an independent general statement, a noun, a universal fact, starting off a story, starting of an incident or an event, or it starts with 'most' or 'once'.
  • Sentence D in the given question is the starting of a story. The author is talking about a dog who had stolen a piece of meat from a butcher's shop.
  • Sentence B will be the next sentence because it is connected with Sentence D as it tells what the dog did after stealing the piece of meat.
  • Sentence C will be the next sentence because it further explains the dog's activity on his way home.
  • Lastly, Sentence A will be used as it tells about the consequences of the dog's actions.
  • Thus, the sequence becomes:
    • D: A dog had stolen a piece of meat out of a butcher's shop.
    • B: When he was crossing a river on his way home, he saw his own shadow reflected in the stream below.
    • C: Thinking that it was another dog with another piece of meat, he resolved to make himself master of that also.
    • A: But in snapping at the supposed treasure, he dropped the bit he was carrying, and so lost all.
  • Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 3.


Correct Sequence: A dog had stolen a piece of meat out of a butcher's shop. When he was crossing a river on his way home, he saw his own shadow reflected in the stream below. Thinking that it was another dog with another piece of meat, he resolved to make himself master of that also. But in snapping at the supposed treasure, he dropped the bit he was carrying, and so lost all.
