Sentence Rearrangement
Sentence rearrangement or parajumbles are one of the trickiest sections to attempt in English Section. It is a difficult and time-consuming question asked in competitive exams. It consists of a group of jumbled up sentences. The goal is to rearrange the sentences in the original sequence. One sentence rearrangement question is usually followed by 5 questions and that means if your arrangement is right, your score increases by 5 marks. Here we are providing you with some simple tips that can save your valuable time and help you solve these questions quickly.
1. Just scan all the sentences, try to get the feel of what the passage is about. If you get the tone of the paragraph then it becomes easy for you to guess the opening and closing sentence.
2. Try to find out the first sentence. If you can see any chronological order in the given paragraph, then it is easy to solve that question. You should try to find out the linkage how the events occur in the paragraph. If you are able to find out the last sequence then it will also help you in coming to the right sequence of paragraph.
3. Generally the first sentence will introduce the theme of the paragraph and will not begin with a conjunction like because, so, but etc.
4. Questions where first and last sequence is given, can be solved quite easily. Just try to find out the sentence which has the linkage to the first sequence’s event. Eliminate all those options of whom you have found the order.
5. Finding linkage between parts is more important in these questions in order to make the paragraph more meaningful. The things that are going to help you in these type of questions is only your command over vocabulary, your knowledge of English grammar, preposition, conjunctions, etc. There are some transition words that can help you in identifying the links among the sentences, simultaneously, hence, besides etc.
Look out for:
- Relative pronouns (who, whom, whose, which, that)
- Demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those)
- Personal Pronouns (he, she, it, him, her, you, they)
If a sentence has these pronouns, make a note of it and scan the paragraph again for the original person, place or object that it refers to.
6. Look for cause and effect. Look for words or phrases explicitly indicating that one thing causes another or logically determines another.
Accordingly In order to
Because So….. that
Consequently Therefore
Given Thus
Hence When…..then
7. After you are finished with the rearrangement, check it again and make sure that it is coherent and makes sense.
8. Article based approach – Indefinite articles (a, an) introduces new and general ideas and definite article (the) points out towards already explained idea. A sentence with definite article (the) can not be the first sentence of the paragraph.
9. Acronym based approach – If two sentences are given and in the first sentence full form is given, i.e. World Trade Organization and if in the second sentence short form is given i.e. WTO. Then the sentence with full form will come first in the paragraph.
Some more tips
1. Practice as much as you can of these questions to make yourself more familiar with these type of questions. Never think that these questions are easy but you can do them with a bit of practice if you have a little command over English.
2. Focus on improving your skills. Read more books, more articles on internet, editorials in the newspaper. Good reading skills will not only help you in these questions. It will also be very helpful when you solve Double fillers, Comprehension and cloze Test.
3. Practice!! Practice!! Practice!!
Just to make it more clear. Here is an example
A. Hence, the meal that is taken in the morning is breakfast.
B. The word originated from the fact that after dinner, we don’t eat the whole night and this is a long time for the body to go without food.
C. During day time, we keep on eating and munching after every 3-4 hours
D. People often ask as to why breakfast is important.
E. But the duration between dinner and breakfast is pretty long, sometimes may be equivalent to a fast.
F. The answer lies in the word ‘breakfast itself.
Steps: Scan all the sentences, you get the main theme. It’s about Breakfast and the origin of the word.
Now, what can be the opening sentence?
From all the sentences
First sentence can’t be the opening sentence as it has a Linking word “HENCE”
Second sentence can’t be the opening sentence as it has THE “THE” as an article, here is used to refer to something.
Third sentence also has a transition word “DURING”
Fifth sentence has a transition word “BUT”
Sixth sentence is not giving the sense of an opening sentence.
Therefore, D is the most apt opening sentence.
What can be the closing sentence?
By just scanning all the sentences, the sentences which are giving the feel of closing sentences are F and A.
Don’t get confused, we will get our last sentence with the help of elimination.
D is linked to F as there is a link. A question is asked and answer is given. Here A gets eliminated so the probable last sentence is going to be F. F is linked to B as it is giving the explanation to the answer.
As we said look out for transition words But and Hence, to get the theme right, C is linked to E with the help of “But” and then E is linked to A with the help of.
Hence, the correct sequence is: DFBCEA
