Hint:

In para jumbles, start with an introductory action or event, follow with details about purpose or strategies, and end with outcomes to ensure a logical and chronological flow.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- Step 1: Identify the paragraph's structure. A coherent paragraph should introduce the main event, provide details about its purpose and execution, and conclude with its outcome, following a logical or chronological flow.
- Step 2: Analyze the role of each sentence.
- Sentence A: Introduces the product launch, serving as the starting point of the narrative.
- Sentence B: Explains the target market (youth) and design focus, providing the purpose of the launch.
- Sentence C: Describes the marketing strategy, detailing how the launch was promoted.
- Sentence D: States the result (sales success), serving as the conclusion.
- Step 3: Determine a logical sequence. The logical flow is: launch the product (A), state the target and purpose (B), describe marketing efforts (C), and conclude with sales results (D). This suggests the sequence A, B, C, D.
- Step 4: Test option (1) A, B, C, D. The sequence is: product launch (A) → targeting youth market (B) → aggressive marketing (C) → sales success (D). This forms a chronological and coherent narrative.
- Step 5: Evaluate other options.
- Option (2) B, A, C, D: Starting with the target market (B) before the launch (A) is illogical, as the launch sets the context.
- Option (3) C, A, B, D: Starting with marketing (C) before the launch (A) disrupts chronological order.
- Option (4) A, C, B, D: Placing marketing (C) before the target market (B) is less coherent, as the purpose (targeting youth) should precede the strategy.
- Step 6: Final conclusion. Option (1) A, B, C, D provides the most logical and coherent paragraph, reflecting a clear progression from launch to outcome.
