Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the right order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph. A. It was faster because the current carried me along. B. On land I picked my way, careful to watch where I put my feet. C. Whenever I could get a good view ahead, I risked swimming. D. ''If you tread on a crab'', I had told myself, ''you're done for.'' E. The river that I was following in the jungle was widening. Correct Answer ECABD

The correct answer is option 4, i.e., ECABD.

  •  When arranging a paragraph, it is easier to find connections between sentences and then eliminate the options accordingly.
  •  Notice that A talks about 'current carrying me along' and C talks about 'swimming'. So, they are connected.
  •  A also uses the pronoun 'it', which means it is referring to something that is mentioned previously, viz., the action of 'swimming' in C.
  •  So, A must come after C. Then, CA is the correct order.
  •  This order is only shown by option 4.


Thus, the correct sequence is: ECABD.

E. The river that I was following in the jungle was widening.

C. Whenever I could get a good view ahead, I risked swimming.

A. It was faster because the current carried me along.

B. On land I picked my way, careful to watch where I put my feet.

D. ''If you tread on a crab'', I had told myself, ''you're done for.''

The Amazon basin has been continuously inhabited for at least 10, 000 years, possibly more. Its earliest inhabitants were stone-age peoples, living in hundreds of far-flung tribes, some tiny, others numbering in the tens of thousands. It was from the west that Europeans explorers first arrived. In 1541 a Spanish expedition from Quito, led by Gonzalo Pizarro, ran short of supplies while exploring east of the Andes in what is today Peru. Pizarros cousin Francisco de Orellana offered to take 60 men along with the boats from the expedition and forage for supplies. De Orellana floated down the Rio Napo to its confluence with the Amazon, near Iquitos (Peru), and then to the mouth of the Amazon. Along the way his expedition suffered numerous attacks by Indians; some of the Indian warriors, they reported, were female, like the Amazons of Greek mythology, and thus the worlds greatest river got its name. No one made a serious effort to claim this sweaty territory, however, until the Portuguese built a fort near the mouth of the river at Belém in 1616, and sent Pedro Teixeira up the river to Quito and back between 1637 and 1639. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Portuguese bandeirantes (groups of roaming adventurers) penetrated ever further into the rain forest in pursuit of gold and Indian slaves, exploring as far as present-day Rondônia, and the Guaporé and Madeira river valleys. Amazonian Indians had long used the sap from rubber trees to make waterproof bags and other items. European explorers recognized the potential value of natural latex, but were unable to market it because it tended to grow soft in the heat, or brittle in the cold, and thus had limited appeal outside the rain forest. However, in 1842 American Charles Goodyear developed vulcanization (made natural rubber durable) and in 1890 Irelands John Dunlop patented pneumatic rubber tires. Soon there was an unquenchable demand for rubber in the recently industrialized USA and Europe, and the price of rubber on international markets soared. As profits skyrocketed, so did exploitation of the seringueiros, or rubber tappers, who were lured into the Amazon, mostly from the drought-stricken northeast, by the promise of prosperity only to be locked into a cruel system of virtual slavery dominated by seringalistas (owners of rubber-bearing forests). Rigged scales, hired guns, widespread illiteracy among the rubber tappers, and monopoly of sales and purchases all combined to perpetuate the workers debt and misery. In addition, seringueiros had to contend with jungle fevers, Indian attacks and all manner of deprivation.
In which year did the fort was built by Portuguese near the river Belem?
