Question

UNIT III — Arrange the sentences to form the best-ordered paragraph.
(i) Converting money into several currencies in the course of one trip can also be quite expensive, given that banks and bureaux de change charge commission on the transaction.
(ii) Trying to work out the value of the various notes and coins can be quite a strain, particularly if you are visiting more than one country.
(iii) Travel can be very exciting, but it can also be rather complicated.
(iv) One of these complications is, undoubtedly, foreign currency.

• A. ii, i, iii, iv
• B. iv, i, iii, ii
• C. iv, iii, ii, i
• D. iii, i, iv, ii

Hint:

Words like \textbf{also}, \textbf{these}, \textbf{such}, \textbf{this} act as cohesion hooks. Place sentences so that each hook has a clear antecedent immediately before it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1 (Open with the theme): Sentence (iii) is a perfect topic sentence: travel is exciting {but} complicated — it introduces the idea of multiple complications.
Step 2 (Present one complication straightaway): Sentence (i) gives a first, specific complication. The adverb “{also}” fits immediately after (iii), as it treats currency conversion as one in a set of complications.
Step 3 (Name the category): Sentence (iv) labels the area of difficulty we are discussing — {foreign currency}. The phrase “{these complications}” cohesively refers back to the complications in (iii) and the cost issue in (i).
Step 4 (Add a second facet of the same complication): Sentence (ii) provides another foreign-currency problem (mental strain over values), nicely complementing the cost issue in (i).
Why not the others? Starting with (iv) or (ii) lacks the broad frame of (iii); placing (ii) before (iv) weakens cohesion because “these complications” in (iv) should follow an instance or the general claim. Hence iii $\rightarrow$ i $\rightarrow$ iv $\rightarrow$ ii is best.
