Question

In following questions, a paragraph has been split into four parts. You have to rearrange these parts to form a coherent paragraph.

A. By reasoning we mean the mental process of drawing an inference from two or more statements or
going from the inference to the statements, which yield that inference.
B. So logical reasoning covers those types of questions, which imply drawing an inference from the problems.
C. Logic means, if we take its original meaning, the science of valid reasoning.
D. Clearly, for understanding arguments and for drawing the inference correctly, it is necessary that we should understand the statements first.

• A. ACBD
• B. CABD
• C. ABCD
• D. DBCA

Hint:

When arranging definitions or philosophical explanations, begin by stating the core concept, then provide supporting details and examples, followed by a clarifying conclusion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The paragraph starts with the definition of reasoning, as the mental process of drawing an inference (sentence 1). Sentence (C) explains the need to understand the statements first in order to draw correct inferences. Sentence (A) then clarifies that logical reasoning involves drawing inferences from problems. Finally, sentence (B) explains that logic, in its original sense, refers to the science of valid reasoning, completing the explanation. Thus, the correct sequence is CABD.
