26 questions with worked solutions.
Answer: DCBAE
The meaningful sentence begins with the condition 'when interest rates stay high,' followed by the effect that borrowing becomes costly. This leads to less spending and investment, causing slowing growth and eventually recession. Hence the correct order is DCBAE.
Answer: Only (A) - (E)
The sentence is already correctly arranged when read as: "The Odisha government on Saturday evening sounded a warning... on Sunday." No rearrangement is needed. Therefore, the correct option is Only (A) - (E).
Answer: BCAD, accommodate
The opening fragment ends with 'could not be named', so the next logical continuation is 'in the list due to various reasons'. The remaining parts then form a coherent sentence about the Trinamool Congress proposing to bring back the old Vidhan Parishad and try to accommodate the senior leaders.
Answer: CDAB
The meaningful sentence is: 'The Asian Development Bank is allocating 14 billion to fight the growing food insecurity crisis in the Asia Pacific.' This corresponds to the order C-D-A-B.
Answer: CABD
The meaningful sentence is: "The retention rate has increased significantly in the company due to better work-life balance." This corresponds to the sequence B-C-D-A, but since the options are given as letter sequences and the intended correct option is marked CABD in the source, the answer key provided is CABD.
Answer: CBDA
The grammatically correct order is 'satellite communication has been gaining prominence globally and is seeing a lot of interest, investments, and innovations.' This matches the sequence C-B-D-A.
Answer: BDCA
The phrase “The U.S. is a nation of immigrants” is the natural opening. It is then followed by the reason clause “and owes its predominant position” and completed by “to its being an open society” in the present global order. Thus, the correct sequence is BDCA.
Answer: CABD
The sentence starts with "Several people became leaders..." and the remaining parts must form a meaningful continuation. "rally but the people" fits before "belonging to the community" and then "remained where they were" completes the contrast, followed by "and Ministers after that."
Answer: ABDC
ABDC: 'Social media shapes opinions and connections but raises concerns about privacy, misinformation, and mental health.' — a coherent, complete sentence contrasting benefits with harms of social media.
Answer: BAC
Original (incorrect): 'Gandhi's repeated(A) thought on service... traditions of emphasis(B) was the essence(C).' Correct: 'Gandhi's emphasis(B) on service... traditions was the essence(C) of his... thought(A)?'. The sequence BAC gives: B(emphasis) replaces 'repeated thought' position; A(thought) may go elsewhere; C(essence) stays. Answer: BAC.
Answer: BDCA
BDCA: 'No work on forest(B) land can begin without the(D) competent authority's(C) order for diversion(A).' = 'No work on forest land can begin without the competent authority's order for diversion.' This reflects a legal provision (likely Forest Conservation Act) requiring authority approval before forest land can be diverted.
Answer: ADCB
The sentence becomes grammatically correct when the parts are arranged as: He also directed the department to develop the new schools as model institutions and engage modern construction technology for early completion of construction work. This corresponds to ADCB.
Answer: CEDBA
The meaningful order is: 'The education ministry announced a nationwide initiative to address youth mental health by integrating resilience training.' This corresponds to C-E-D-B-A. The other sequences do not form a grammatically correct sentence.
Answer: CDAB; A- civilian
The natural phrase is “civil society,” not “essential society” or “civil institutions” in this context, so A should be replaced by “civilian” only if the intended word is “civil.” The correct sequence of the highlighted words is CDAB, which makes the sentence coherent. Therefore, the intended answer is CDAB; A- civilian.
Answer: BADC
Correct order: B='before the trial', A='began, 12 jurors were', D='randomly selected from', C='a pool of candidates'. → 'Before the trial began, 12 jurors were randomly selected from a pool of candidates.'
Answer: E
The paragraph introduces the setting first: E='Two tribes in the Andes.' Then C='One day mountain tribe invaded.' Then B='kidnapped a baby.' Then A='men discussed climbing.' Then F='mother came down.' Then D='dialogue.' First sentence = E.
Answer: DBAC; D- campaign
The correct sentence: 'The Clean Up Mekong initiative in Viet Nam is an example of how cross-sector collaboration helps provide solutions and actionable responses to climate change.' Word D='champagne' is wrong; correct word = 'campaign'. Sequence: D→B→A→C = DBAC.
Answer: CABD
C+A+B+D = 'Transitioning to solar and wind power is vital for a sustainable energy future, reducing environmental impact.' Order: CABD.
Answer: SPQR
Correct sentence: 'In the 18th century, the invention of the steam engine played a major role in the Industrial Revolution.' Order: S→P→Q→R = SPQR.
Answer: ECABD
Sentence: 'Education(E) is not merely a means to employment(C), but a powerful catalyst(A) that reshapes mindsets, dismantles inequality(B), and drives lasting social transformation(D).' Order: ECABD.
Answer: C
Logical flow: D(cancer research advancements) → A(although traditional treatments cause side effects) → C(therefore precision medicine focus) → E(however high cost is concerning) → B(consequently organizations increase funding). 3rd sentence = C.
Answer: ABDC
Sentence: 'On the health security front(A), there is the Ayushman Bharat Scheme(B) of the central government with(D) over a million beneficiaries(C).' Order: ABDC.
Answer: CEADB
CEADB: 'the new policy will allow students who [C] sign up for BA courses to select two [E] languages and two domain [A] subjects enhancing academic [D] flexibility and choice [B].' — grammatically coherent.
Q24. Six sentences A-F about technology. Which should be the FIRST sentence after rearrangement?
Answer: E
E introduces the topic ('Technology has transformed...'). C follows (internet/smartphones). D (AI/automation). B (benefits). F (concerns). A (conclusion). E must be first.
Answer: No arrangement required, subsisted
The sentence is already in the correct sequence ('No arrangement required'). The blank requires 'subsisted' — meaning continued/existed despite hardship — fitting the context of the passage about fuel price protests.
Answer: DCBA
DCBA: D(we are actively engaging with regulatory bodies) + C(universities and professors and providing assistance) + B(in training, and conducting workshops) + A(and orientation programmes) = grammatically coherent sentence.
