Common Explanation (1-5):
There are two options- A and E- as the potential first statement. Chronologically speaking, Statement E
refers to a time period before the one stated in A and should logically precede A. Thus, Statement E is the
first statement:
E and C:
E. World leaders did well to avoid protectionist trade policies in the aftermath of the Great Recession of
2008.
C and A: A introduces a contradiction here stating how Trump has recently announced imposition of tariffs-
A and B: B states How The EU has reacted to it-

5. As per the question, the fifth statement is D.

Hence, option D is correct.
Common explanation (6-10):
It is given that D is the last statement. Out of the rest, E is the best fit for being the first statement as A and
C are clearly continuations of previous statements. B cannot be the first statement as then E would not fit
anywhere else. Hence, E is the first statement.

The correct sequence is E-F-B-A-C-D.
Answer:
1. As per this, statement E is the first statement.

Hence, option B is correct.
2. As per this, statement F is the second statement.

Hence, option A is correct.

Since the first sentence is given of the paragraph, it is very easy to understand the topic of the passage
which is regarding the achievement of India in eradicating polio from the country. This is the premise on
which the sentences are based and they have to be rearranged accordingly.
After the given sentence, the next sentence should be based on the reason behind the success of the polio
eradication scheme of the government in the country when most of the other schemes do not generally
become successful in the country. Among the given options, Statement E explains the reason of such a feat
as the contribution of the government as well as the ground level workers of the organization.
Connectors:
https:// /#
First sentence and E:
1. The World Health Organization has declared India as polio-free since no new polio case has been
reported in the country in the last couple of years.
E. This underlines the efforts by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare along with the staff members at
the ground level.
E should be followed by a statement in which there is some inference for the government from the success
of the polio eradication program of the government. C should come after that since it explains in detail
that the government should think of replicating the same model in case of other diseases also.
Connectors:
E and C:
E: This underlines the efforts by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare along with the staff members
at the ground level.
C: India can take heart from this success and can replicate the same model for eradication of other
Now, C has explained the lesson that should be learnt from this step of the government. This must be
followed by something that denotes the main issue behind such problems and the mantra for success
behind such programs of the government. D explains that and comes after C.
Connectors:
C: India can take heart from this success and can replicate the same model for eradication of other
D: The thrust should be on educating the mass regarding the harmful effects of insects and the reasons for
D should be followed by a statement that denotes the importance of the step explained in this sentence
i.e. the participation of general public in the eradication drive of any program. B explains the importance of
participation of people and should follow D.
Connectors:
D: The thrust should be on educating the mass regarding the harmful effects of insects and the reasons for
B: Without participation from the general public, it would not have been possible to achieve this
tremendous feat with the government schemes only.
A will come at the end of the passage as it underlines the lesson that should be internalized by the
government from the model in which polio eradication drive has been launched in the country.
This makes the correct sequence of statements as: ECDBA
https:// /#
1. The correct sequence of sentences is ECDBA.
So, B is the fourth sentence of the paragraph after the rearrangement.
It makes option C the correct choice among the given options.

So, C is the second sentence of the paragraph after the rearrangement.
It makes option B the correct choice among the given options.

So, A is the fifth sentence of the paragraph after the rearrangement.
It makes option E the correct choice among the given options.

So, E is the first sentence of the paragraph after the rearrangement.
It makes option D the correct choice among the given options.

Common Explanation(16-20):
The passage clearly describes changing perception towards Wrestling in India and how the sport has
received recognition in recent times.
Sentence C clearly sets the tone of the passage by mentioning the phenomenal growth the sport has
achieved since 2008.
Sentence H immediately follows as it quotes a few more recent successes to strengthen the idea stated in
sentence C.
Keywords/phrases that link H to C:
‘A series of successes’ (H) – ‘won’ (C)
Sentence A clearly seems to follow next as it takes the description forward.
Keyword/phrase that links A to H:
‘Recognition’ (A) – ‘A series of successes followed’ (H)
Sentence D follows next as it augments the idea stated so far.
Keyword/phrase that links D to A:
‘Now’ (D) – ‘then’ (A)
The sequence made so far is C - H – A - D
From here, though it becomes a bit complex to pick the next sentence in sequence yet we can pair up the
remaining sentences.
https:// /#
For instance,
Between B and F, sentence F clearly follows B and hence they get paired up as B – F.
Keyword/phrase that links F to B:
‘narrative’ (F) – ‘narrates’ (B)
Similarly, between E and G, sentence G must precede E keeping the chronology of events happened in
mind. This forms another pair as G – E.
If we observe further we can infer that sentence E links to sentence B.
Keywords/phrases that link E to B:
‘This added wrestling’, ‘a prominent place’ (E) – ‘icing on the cake’ (B)
The complete sequence of the sentences thus formed is C-H-A-D-G-E-B-F.
Answer:
1. The correct sequence of the sentences is C-H-A-D-G-E-B-F and the fifth sentence clearly is G.
Option A is hence the correct answer.
2. The correct sequence of the sentences is C-H-A-D-G-E-B-F and the seventh sentence clearly is B.
Option D is hence the correct answer.
3. The correct sequence of the sentences is C-H-A-D-G-E-B-F and the second sentence clearly is H.
Option B is hence the correct answer.
4. The correct sequence of the sentences is C-H-A-D-G-E-B-F and the fourth sentence clearly is D.
Option E is hence the correct answer.
5. The correct sequence of the sentences is C-H-A-D-G-E-B-F and the third sentence clearly is A.
In this piece of article the writer clearly seems to be, on one hand, appreciating the government’s move of
providing benefits for women working in the organised sector and criticizing its negligence towards the
other women in unorganised sector on the other. Sentence C clearly sets the tone of the passage and
hence should be the first statement.
Now, to find the second sentence in the sequence is really a bit complex. At a glance, sentence G seems to
be coming next but if we picked this, we would not be able to fit the sentence B elsewhere or if we placed
the sentence B somewhere else, it would bring absurdity to the context of the passage. Besides, the
demonstrative pronoun ‘This’ in the very beginning of the sentence B is connecting well to the word ‘step’,
the noun used at the end of the sentence C. Sentence B therefore follows.
Keywords that connect B to C:
https:// /#
‘this’ (B) – ‘step’ (C)
G follows the sequence as it welcomes and describes the idea discussed in the first sentence.
Keywords/phrases that connect G to C:
‘such a benefit’ (G) – ‘enhancement of paid maternity leave for women’ (C)
E clearly seems to follow the sequence as it brings a contrast to the point being discussed.
Keywords/phrases that connect E to G:
‘the amended law’ (E) – ‘an amendment’ (G)
F immediately follows as it supports the argument made in sentence E.
Keywords/phrases that connect F to E:
'For many poor millions in the unorganised sector' (F) – 'a small subset of women in the workforce' (E)
D must follow the sequence made so far as it criticizes the current benefit scheme for women in the
unorganised sector whle quoting government's apathy towards the women in unorganised sector.
Keywords/phrases that connect D to F:
‘this meagre benefit’ – ‘a small conditional cash benefit of Rs. 6,000’
Now, the only sentence that is left is sentence A and it will obviously take the last position in the sequence.
Hence, the correct sequence of sentences will be C-B-G-E-F-D-A.
Answer:
1. The correct sequence is C-B-G-E-F-D-A and the second sentence is clearly B.

2. The correct sequence is C-B-G-E-F-D-A and the fourth sentence is clearly F.

Option C is hence the correct answer.
3. The correct sequence is C-B-G-E-F-D-A and the first sentence is clearly C.

4. The correct sequence is C-B-G-E-F-D-A and the last but one (second from the last) sentence is clearly
D.
5. The correct sequence is C-B-G-E-F-D-A and the third sentence is clearly G.

In this passage, the writer talks about political funding and shares his cynicism about the government’s
plan to curb corruption that exists in it. Clearly, the sentence D opens the discussion by introducing
political corruption as the source of most forms of corruption.
Sentence E immediately follows as it takes the discussion further.
Keywords/phrases that link E to D:
‘This concern’ in sentence E links to ‘political corruption’ in sentence D.
Sentence B follows next as it presents a contradictory view to what is stated in sentence E.
Keywords/phrases that link B to E:
‘But his proposals’ in sentence B links to ‘he announced measures to …’ in sentence E.
Sentence A comes next in the sequence as it argues in favour of the point made in the sentence B.
Keywords/phrases that link A to B:
‘The ceiling of Rs. 2000 on cash donation’ (a sort of proposal) in sentence A links to ‘his proposals’ in
sentence B.
Sentence C now follows as it describes the possible measure that parties would take to dupe the
government’s move.
Keywords/phrases that link C to A:
‘All that the parties will now have to do’ in sentence C links to ‘The ceiling of Rs. 2000 on cash donation’ in
sentence A.
Clearly, the sentence F that is the only sentence left will come at last in the sequence.
The complete sequence of the sentences thus made is D – E – B – A – C – F.
Answer:
1. The correct sequence of the sentences is D-E-B-A-C-F and the third sentence clearly is B.
2. The correct sequence of the sentences is D-E-B-A-C-F and the fifth sentence clearly is C.
3. The correct sequence of the sentences is D-E-B-A-C-F and the first sentence clearly is D.

Of the given sentences, two sentences ‘A’ and ‘C’ are meaningful and devoid of usages of ‘Pronouns’ or
‘definite article’ and thus either of them could be the opening statement of the passage. Now, Between ‘A’
and ‘C’ while ‘A’ talks about the strategies of treating a heart attack, ‘C’ discusses a unique invention
relating to a cardiac arrest and its treatment. If we read the other sentences further we can observe the
whole passage is written about this study or invention. Sentence C hence should be the opening
statement.
B follows as it elaborates the reference of ‘time’ given in the first statement.
Keywords/phrases that link B to C:
"time" and “heart attack”
G must be the next sentence as it describes the details regarding the study further.
Keyword/phrase that links G to B:
“The landmark study”
The sequence made so far is C-B-G.
Now, out of the remaining sentences, sentence A seems to be following the sequence as it by elaborating
how a case of heart attack is traditionally dealt with, brings a contrast to the description.
Sentence E follows next as it talks about one of the two strategies of treating a heart attack as discussed in
sentence A.
Keyword/phrase that links E to A:
“two strategies of re-perfusion”
Sentence F clearly is the next sentence as it mentions the second of the two strategies stated in sentence
A.
Now, the only sentence that is left is sentence D and hence the complete sequence of sentences must be
C-B-G-A-E-F-D.
Answer:
1. The correct sequence is C-B-G-A-E-F-D and the first sentence is clearly C.

Out of the eight statements, the two statements either of which could be the opening statement are A and
F. Now, in these two statements A presents a scenario in the context of India whereas F does it in the
context of the whole world which is obviously larger than India. Clearly, F should be the opening
statement.
C follows as it takes the discussion related to the report mentioned in statement F further.
Keywords/phrases that link C to F:
“the report” in C links to “a recently released report” in F.
E follows next as it describes the methodology which has been stated in statement C.
Keywords/phrases that link E to C:
“the report” in E links to “the report” in C. Plus, the clause “the report assumes wealth is assets minus
debt” is the methodology used in preparing the report and hence it confirms statement E to be the third
statement in the sequence.
B immediately follows as it criticizes the measure or methodology used in the report by throwing an
argument.
Keywords/phrases that link B to E:
“this measure” in B links to “the report assumes wealth is assets minus debt” in E.
The sequence made so far is – FCEB.
H follows next as it points towards the statistical data given in the statement B.
Keywords/phrases that link H to B:
“These statistical issues” in H links to “a poor Indian farmer with little debt and little assets can end up
“richer” than a Wall Street banker with little assets and a large student loan.” In B.
D follows next as in this statement the writer presents a contradictory piece of information in the context
of India to that of the one discussed so far in the context of the world.
A immediately follows as it describes what the report exactly provides the data in the context of India.
Keywords/phrases that link A to D:
“the Indian population” in A links to “in India” in D.
Obviously, G must be the last sentence in the sequence and hence the complete sequence made after
rearrangement is – FCEBHDAG.
Answer:
1. The correct sequence of the sentences is F-C-E-B-H-D-A-G and the fourth sentence clearly is B.
https:// /#
2. The correct sequence of the sentences is F-C-E-B-H-D-A-G and the last but one or second from the last
sentence clearly is A.
3. The correct sequence of the sentences is F-C-E-B-H-D-A-G and the second sentence clearly is C.

Out of the six sentences, the sentence E is clearly the first one as it introduces ‘William G. Perry’ (A proper
noun) and sets the tone of the passage by mentioning the noun phrase ‘Cognitive Development’ (Again, a
proper noun) in the sentence.
Sentence C immediately follows as it describes the model developed by William G. Perry. Interestingly, the
writer has used the phrase ‘Intellectual development’ in place of ‘Cognitive development’. However, both
the adjectives ‘intellectual’ and ‘cognitive’ are similar in meaning.
Keywords/Phrases that link C to E:
“His” in C links to “William G. Perry” in E.
“Intellectual development” in C links to “Cognitive development” in E.
Sentence F is to follow next as it refers to the first of the nine levels of intellectual development,
mentioned in the previous sentence.
Keywords/Phrases that link F to C:
“First level” in F links to “nine levels” in C.
The sequence made so far is: E – C – F.
The sentence A follows next as it takes the description of ‘Dualism’ further.
Keywords/Phrases that link A to F:
“Dualistic thinking” in A links to “Dualism” in F.
Now, the sentence B describes how the model of ‘Dualistic thinking’ enables students to develop
intellectually. The sentence B clearly, is to follow the sequence next.
Keywords/Phrases that link B to A:
“This model” in B links to “Dualistic thinking” in A.

“Students” in B links to “Students” in A.
Obviously, sentence D must be the last sentence in the sequence and hence the complete made after
rearrangement is –ECFABD.
1. The correct sequence of the sentences is E-C-F-A-B-D and the fourth sentence clearly is A.
2. The correct sequence of the sentences is E-C-F-A-B-D and the last sentence clearly is D.
3. The correct sequence of the sentences is E-C-F-A-B-D and the first sentence clearly is E.

The paragraph is regarding the recent decision taken by the government of India to revoke the Section 370
and declare Jammu and Kashmir as a separate Union Territory. Pakistan has responded with steps to end
the bilateral ties with India and has also expelled the Indian Envoy from its territory. Now we can see that A
is the first sentence as per the direction and it gives the premise to us that the passage is about the recent
problems between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue. After this, the next statement should come
as something that describes the situation further or gives us some idea about the problem between the
two countries.
Connectors:
A and F:
A: Pakistan’s decision to expel India’s High Commissioner, snap trade relations and observe August 15 as
a black day in supposed solidarity with the people of Jammu & Kashmir is a serious setback for
diplomatic relations.
