Given below are six sentences A-F, of which A and F are static and B-E have been jumbled. Pick the option that gives the correct order of the jumbled sentences. A. Suddenly I noticed smoke pouring in through the seams of the ceiling. B. Groping our way to the front door we all ran out into the front yard. C. The smoke began to fill the room so quickly that we could barely see. D. I ran to the neighbours to call the fire department. E. By the time we made our way outside, the whole roof was engulfed in flames. F. I saw mother run back into the house and I screamed, “Mom! No!”?

Option 2 : ACBEDF

The correct answer is 'ACBEDF'.

• The given question is an example of a Para Jumble.
• We know that the first statement of a para 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'.
• In the given question, sentence A is the first sentence. And sentence F is the last one.
• We have to rearrange the rest of the sentences accordingly.
• Sentence A is 'Suddenly I noticed smoke pouring in through the seams of the ceiling.' this is the starting of an incident.
• Sentence A tells us that the author noticed the smoke coming from the ceiling. After it, Sentence C should be used because it expresses 'how smoke' began to fill the room.
• After seeing the smoke in the room, the author ran out of the room to the front yard. Hence, Sentence B should be the next one.
• Sentence E should be the next one because it tells us how the roof got engulfed in flames as soon as they ran out into the front yard.
• Next, Sentence D should be used next because Sentence D tells us about what the author did after reaching the front yard i.e. he ran to the neighbours to call the fire department.
• Thus the sequence becomes:
  • A: Suddenly I noticed smoke pouring in through the seams of the ceiling.
  • C: The smoke began to fill the room so quickly that we could barely see.
  • B: Groping our way to the front door we all ran out into the front yard.
  • E: By the time we made our way outside, the whole roof was engulfed in flames.
  • D: I ran to the neighbours to call the fire department.
  • F: I saw mother run back into the house and I screamed, “Mom! No!”
• Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 2.
