The following question contains four sentences which in their present arrangement lack coherence, connection, and development. There is only one way of rearranging them to make a coherent passage. Choose the correct arrangement from the alternative given and mark your answer as (1), (2), (3), or (4) in the answer sheet. a. Its blood showed common qualities with the blood of the malaria patients. Thus it was confirmed. b. Ronald Ross conducted a series of experiments on the different kinds of mosquitoes in order to find out the traces of the parasite. c. Physicians and others worked continuously to find out the causes of malaria. d. Two years did not yield any result. At last, he found a species.

The correct answer is 'c b d a'.
Key Points
- While carefully reading all the sentences it is clear that 'sentence c' is an introductory statement.
- It is telling us that physicians and others worked continuously to find out the causes of malaria.
- Therefore, 'sentence c' will come first.
- 'Sentence b' is specifically mentioning about Ronald Ross.
- It is telling us that he conducted many experiments.
- Therefore, 'sentence b' will come in the second place.
- 'Sentence d' is telling us that the experiments did not yield any result for two years.
- He succeeded at last after performing many experiments and found a species.
- Therefore, 'sentence d' will come in the third place.
- 'Sentence a' is giving us further information about the experiment in which he got success and telling us that the species blood was matching with the blood of malaria patients.
- So, 'sentence a' will come in the last.
- Therefore, the correct order is 'c b d a'.
- Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
Correct arrangement: Physicians and others worked continuously to find out the causes of malaria. Ronald Ross conducted a series of experiments on the different kinds of mosquitoes in order to find out the traces of the parasite. Two years did not yield any result. At last, he found a species. Its blood showed common qualities with the blood of the malaria patients. Thus it was confirmed.
Additional Information
- 'Parasite' is an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense.
- Example: The parasite attaches itself to the mouths of fishes.
