Question

Rearrange the jumbled sentences to show the appropriate sequence.
A. Lastly, always remember to give the listener a fair chance to interrupt you whenever he or she pleases.
B. When you are speaking, do not forget to read the listener's face to see what they are thinking.
C. Ask yourself if what you are saying is too much for him or her to grasp as a chunk.
D. If that is the case, try to involve him or her in the conversation actively by eliciting responses to your words.

• A. ABCD
• B. CDBA
• C. BCDA
• D. BDCA
• E. DACA

Hint:

When rearranging sentences, look for the flow of ideas. The first sentence often introduces the topic, the middle sentences provide details, and the last sentence concludes or offers a final recommendation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the sentence order.
We are asked to reorder the sentences to form a logical and coherent passage. - Sentence B: "When you are speaking, do not forget to read the listener's face to see what they are thinking." This is a good opening sentence as it sets the context for the speaker's awareness during conversation. - Sentence C: "Ask yourself if what you are saying is too much for him or her to grasp as a chunk." This follows sentence B by introducing what the speaker should consider while speaking. - Sentence D: "If that is the case, try to involve him or her in the conversation actively by eliciting responses to your words." This follows logically from sentence C, explaining what to do if the listener is overwhelmed. - Sentence A: "Lastly, always remember to give the listener a fair chance to interrupt you whenever he or she pleases." This wraps up the advice, serving as the concluding statement. 
Step 2: Analyzing the options. 
- (A) ABCD: This order is incorrect as sentence A should come last, and sentence D should precede it. - (B) CDBA: This order is incorrect because sentence C should follow sentence B, and sentence D should follow C. - (C) BCDA: Correct. This order flows logically from B to C, then D, and concludes with A. - (D) BDCA: Incorrect because sentence A should follow sentence D, not C. - (E) DACA: Incorrect because sentence D should come after C, not before A. 
Step 3: Conclusion. 
The correct order is (C) BCDA, as it maintains a logical flow of thought.
