(C) and lifting Sita along with
(D) put her on his chariot

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

Hint:

Look for "clues" at the end of snippets. For example, the word "form" (B) naturally expects a preposition like "of" (A) to follow it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
To rearrange parts, identify the Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) sequence and ensure that modifying phrases are placed next to the nouns they qualify.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
1. We start with the primary subject and introductory action: (B) "Ravana came in the form"
2. The preposition "of" in (A) must follow "form." So, (A) "of an old and infirm sanyasi."
3. Next, we need the subsequent action: (C) "and lifting Sita along with."
4. The phrase "along with" requires an object. This is provided by (E) "the piece of ground on which she stood."
5. Finally, the conclusion of the action: (D) "put her on his chariot."
Result: "Ravana came in the form of an old and infirm sanyasi and lifting Sita along with the piece of ground on which she stood put her on his chariot."
Step 3: Final Answer:
The logical and grammatical order is B-A-C-E-D.
