Question

Arrange the following sentences to form a coherent paragraph:
A. She decided to pursue painting as a career.
B. Her family, however, urged her to choose a more stable profession.
C. From a young age, Meera loved to paint.
D. Despite their objections, she enrolled in an art school.

• A. C, A, B, D
• B. C, B, A, D
• C. A, C, B, D
• D. B, C, A, D

Hint:

In para-jumbles, identify the introductory sentence and follow the logical flow of events or ideas.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: Identify the opening sentence. Sentence C introduces Meera and her love for painting, setting the context. It's logical as the starting point.
- Step 2: Determine the sequence. Sentence B mentions her family's objection, which follows C as it contrasts Meera's passion. Sentence A states her decision to pursue painting, logically following the family's urging in B. Sentence D concludes with her action (enrolling in art school) despite objections, linking to A and B.
- Step 3: Test the sequence C, B, A, D. C: Meera's love for painting. B: Family urges stability. A: Meera decides to pursue painting. D: She enrolls despite objections. This forms a coherent narrative.
- Step 4: Evaluate options. Option (1) C, A, B, D places A (decision) before B (objection), which is illogical as objections precede decisions. Option (2) C, B, A, D follows the logical flow. Option (3) A, C, B, D starts with the decision, lacking context. Option (4) B, C, A, D starts with objection without introducing Meera's passion.
- Step 5: Verify coherence. C, B, A, D reads smoothly: Meera's passion, family's objection, her decision, and action.
- Step 6: Conclusion. Option (2) is correct.
