Question

The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4) given below, when properly sequenced, would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer.
1. But man, woman or otherwise, there is no denying that the quality of our life and character will be significantly shaped by the way we handle our anger.
2. Once the taboos have been broken, women usually experience letting their fists fly as intensely liberating.
3. Though this might seem a stereotype, women—unlike men, who are frequently applauded for unbridled aggression—are often socialized to keep a lid on their ire.
4. Many of them are so at odds with their aggressive feelings that, as a coach, I often have to stop them from pulling their punches and encourage them to extend their arms so their blows might actually reach their fleshy target.

• A. 3142
• B. 3241
• C. 4123
• D. 3241

Hint:

In para-jumbles, look for:

the sentence that introduces the main topic (usually first),
examples or elaborations (middle),
broad generalisations or moral conclusions (usually last).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's break down how the sentences flow together logically: & nbsp;

1. Sentence 3: "Though this might seem a stereotype, women—unlike men, who are frequently applauded for unbridled aggression—are often socialized to keep a lid on their ire." & nbsp;
   - This sentence introduces the key idea of how women are often socialized differently from men when it comes to expressing anger. This provides the context for the rest of the paragraph.
2. Sentence 2: "Once the taboos have been broken, women usually experience letting their fists fly as intensely liberating." & nbsp;
   - This follows logically from sentence 3. After addressing the socialized restraint, it describes the liberation women feel when they break free from those constraints and express anger.
3. Sentence 4: "Many of them are so at odds with their aggressive feelings that, as a coach, I often have to stop them from pulling their punches and encourage them to extend their arms so their blows might actually reach their fleshy target." & nbsp;
   - This sentence builds on the previous one, describing how women struggle with expressing aggression and the role of a coach in helping them overcome that struggle.
4. Sentence 1: "But man, woman or otherwise, there is no denying that the quality of our life and character will be significantly shaped by the way we handle our anger." & nbsp;
   - This is the concluding sentence. It generalizes the idea presented in the paragraph and ties together the themes of anger and character development.

Final Answer:

The proper sequence of the sentences is 3-2-4-1.
