Jumbled Paragraph
Jumbled Paragraph
Sequence of Sentences and Paragraphs: One of the questions set in the objective test in English relates to Sequence of Sentences. A student is required to rearrange the parts of a sentence into a meaningful paragraph. Infact, there are no hard and fast rules for this kind of test. Only sound knowledge of English language and constant practice may enable a student to grasp the meaning of the rearranged sentences or reconstructed paragraphs. This section of the book in your hand equips the students with the essentials of this kind of test.
A) Reconstruction of a Paragraph: - In this type of questions six sentences are given. The first and the sixth sentences of the paragraph are labelled as and
respectively. The middle four sentences are jumbled up. A candidate is required to find the proper order for the four sentences to make a meaningful paragraph. Consider

: - But how does a new word get into the dictionary ?
