The question below contains five scattered segments of a sentence. Indicate the sequence which correctly assembles the segments and completes the sentence. A. this is mainly due B. a drought usually C. to lesser rainfalls D. occurs when a region  E. faces a shortage of water.

The question below contains five scattered segments of a sentence. Indicate the sequence which correctly assembles the segments and completes the sentence. A. this is mainly due B. a drought usually C. to lesser rainfalls D. occurs when a region  E. faces a shortage of water. Correct Answer BDEAC

The correct answer is BDEAC.

Key Points

• B is the part that establishes the subject of the matter i.e. 'A drought'. Hence, it'll be the first part after rearrangement.
• Part D talks about the occurrence of the drought Hence, D follows B.
• Part E tells more about the region mentioned in D as it is a region that faces a shortage of water. Hence, E follows D.
• In part C, lesser rains is a reason why there's a shortage of water. Also, part A uses 'mainly due to' which used for reasoning. 
• So, the correct arrangement would be A following E and C following A. 
   

Correct rearrangement of segments is: A drought usually occurs when a region faces a shortage of water. This is mainly due to lesser rainfalls. 

Hint

• While solving jumbles, one must first look for any independent sentences/segments or the option which establishes the subject matter. 
• Then, one must look for connections between the sentences/segments. 
• Some sentences/segments might have some concluding notion. So those options will be always at the end.
