Question

Five sentences related to a topic are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a meaningful and coherent short paragraph. Identify the odd one out. Choose its number as your answer and key it in.

• A. His idea to use sign language was not a completely new idea as Native Americans used hand gestures to communicate with other tribes.
• B. Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, for example, observed that men who are deaf are incapable of speech.
• C. People who were born deaf were denied the right to sign a will as they were “presumed to understand nothing; because it is not possible that they have been able to learn to read or write.”
• D. Pushback against this prejudice began in the 16th century when Pedro Ponce de León created a formal sign language for the hearing impaired.
• E. For millennia, people with hearing impairments encountered marginalization because it was believed that language could only be learned by hearing the spoken word.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Analysis is well-structured and logical. Let's summarize your reasoning:

Statement 5: This statement serves as the opening sentence, introducing the broader idea that people with hearing impairment have faced marginalization for millennia.

Statement 3: This statement follows logically after 5, providing details on how people with hearing impairment were marginalized.

Statement 4: It forms a pair with 1, as the possessive pronoun ""his"" in statement 1 logically refers to Pedro Ponce, who created the sign language.

Statement 2: This statement is excluded as it doesn't fit into the logical sequence formed by 5, 3, 4, and 1.

Your careful identification of pairs and the logical order of statements results in a coherent paragraph (5341)
