Question

Arrange the sentences to form a coherent paragraph:
A. The situations in which violence occurs and the nature of that violence tends to be clearly defined at least in theory, as in the proverbial Irishman’s question: “Is this a private fight or can anyone join in?”
B. So the actual risk to outsiders, though no doubt higher than our societies, is calculable.
C. Probably the only uncontrolled applications of force are those of social superiors to social inferiors and even here there are probably some rules.
D. However, binding the obligation to kill, members of feuding families engaged in mutual massacre will be genuinely appalled if by some mischance a bystander or outsider is killed.

• A. DABC
• B. ACDB
• C. CBAD
• D. DBAC

Hint:

In para jumble problems with cause–effect, place the general principle first, then the consequence, exceptions, and illustrative examples.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The paragraph begins with A describing defined situations of violence. B follows by noting calculable risks to outsiders. C explains the limited uncontrolled violence, and D concludes with an example of outsiders being spared.
