Teacher's Note:
1. A story with a conversation follows the order: request, reaction, gift, condition, result.
2. 'To this day' nearly always ends a legend.
Paragraph 8 (Questions 36 to 40)
Directions (Q. 36-40): Rearrange the following six sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions given below them.
(A) Do the devices that make it possible to do so many things at once truly raise our productivity or merely help us spin our wheels faster?
(B) More important, they’re exploring what can be done about it – how we can work smarter, live smarter and put our beloved gadgets back in their proper place, with us running them, not the other way around.
(C) The dinging digital devices that allow us to connect and communicate so readily also disrupt our work, our thoughts and what little is left of our private lives.
(D) They have begun to calculate the pluses, the minuses and the economic costs of the interrupted life – in dollars, productivity and dysfunction.
(E) What sort of toll is all this disruption and mental channel switching taking on our ability to think clearly, work effectively and function as healthy human beings?
(F) Over the past five years, psychologists, efficiency experts and information technology researchers have begun to explore those questions in detail.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) C
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is C - E - A - F - D - B.
2. Sentence C is first because it introduces the devices and the disruption they cause, and it does not refer back to anything.
3. Sentence A is one of 'those questions' mentioned in F, and E speaks of 'all this disruption', so both need the description of the disruption in C before them.
4. So the answer is option (c), C.
Teacher's Note:
1. Pronoun-type phrases such as 'all this' and 'those questions' show what must come before them.
2. 'More important' normally comes after a less important point.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (e) E
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is C - E - A - F - D - B.
2. Sentence E is second because 'all this disruption' refers to the disruption described in C, and the sentence turns it into a question.
3. Sentence A cannot be second because 'all this disruption' in E needs C directly before it.
4. So the answer is option (e), E.
Teacher's Note:
1. Pronoun-type phrases such as 'all this' and 'those questions' show what must come before them.
2. 'More important' normally comes after a less important point.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) F
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) A
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is C - E - A - F - D - B.
2. Sentence A is third because it asks the second question, whether the devices truly raise productivity, so that 'those questions' in F has two questions to refer to.
3. Sentence F says 'those questions', so it needs both questions (E and A) before it; hence A is third and F fourth.
4. So the answer is option (a), A.
Teacher's Note:
1. Pronoun-type phrases such as 'all this' and 'those questions' show what must come before them.
2. 'More important' normally comes after a less important point.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) D
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is C - E - A - F - D - B.
2. Sentence D is fifth because 'They have begun to calculate' continues with what the researchers are doing, after F introduces them.
3. Sentence B (with 'More important') must be last, so the fifth sentence is D, the calculation of costs.
4. So the answer is option (d), D.
Teacher's Note:
1. Pronoun-type phrases such as 'all this' and 'those questions' show what must come before them.
2. 'More important' normally comes after a less important point.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) B
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is C - E - A - F - D - B.
2. Sentence B is sixth because 'More important' adds the researchers' main aim, what can be done about it, which makes it a natural ending.
3. Sentence D comes before B because B says 'More important' compared with the calculation of costs, so B is the last sentence.
4. So the answer is option (b), B.
Teacher's Note:
1. Pronoun-type phrases such as 'all this' and 'those questions' show what must come before them.
2. 'More important' normally comes after a less important point.
Paragraph 9 (Questions 41 to 45)
Directions (Q. 41-45): Rearrange the following five sentences (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions given below them.
A. It will take extraordinary political commitment and liberal public funding during the 11th Plan for affordable housing to become a credible goal.
B. The National Urban Housing and Habitat Policy of the United Progressive Alliance Government seeks to make access to housing, long acknowledged as a fundamental right, a reality for all.
C. The task is staggering even if we go by conservative estimates.
D. The housing shortage to be met during the Plan is 26.53 million units, which include the backlog from the 10th Plan.
E. If the existing stock of poor quality dwellings and the growing urbanization-driven demand are taken into account, the real deficit will be even higher.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) B
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is B - A - C - D - E.
2. Sentence B is first because it introduces the policy and its aim (housing for all), which the rest of the paragraph builds on.
3. Sentence A talks about 'the 11th Plan' and 'a credible goal' without saying what the goal is, so the policy statement in B must come before it.
4. So the answer is option (b), B.
Teacher's Note:
1. Start with the sentence that states the policy or topic.
2. Statistics and 'even higher' type remarks come near the end.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) A
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is B - A - C - D - E.
2. Sentence A is second because 'It will take' commitment and funding to turn that aim into a credible goal, so it follows the policy statement.
3. Sentence A cannot open because the policy and its goal are introduced in B; A is the second sentence.
4. So the answer is option (a), A.
Teacher's Note:
1. Start with the sentence that states the policy or topic.
2. Statistics and 'even higher' type remarks come near the end.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) C
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is B - A - C - D - E.
2. Sentence C is third because 'The task is staggering' sums up the difficulty of that goal.
3. Sentence C ('The task is staggering') follows the commitment needed in A and comes before the figures.
4. So the answer is option (c), C.
Teacher's Note:
1. Start with the sentence that states the policy or topic.
2. Statistics and 'even higher' type remarks come near the end.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) D
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is B - A - C - D - E.
2. Sentence D is fourth because it gives the figure, 26.53 million units, which backs up the claim that the task is staggering.
3. Sentence D gives the figures that support C, and E, with 'even higher', can only follow D.
4. So the answer is option (d), D.
Teacher's Note:
1. Start with the sentence that states the policy or topic.
2. Statistics and 'even higher' type remarks come near the end.
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (e) E
Explanation:
1. The correct sequence is B - A - C - D - E.
2. Sentence E is fifth because it adds that the real deficit is even higher than the figure in D, so it closes the paragraph.
3. Sentence E says the deficit will be 'even higher' than in D, so it must come after D and cannot be placed earlier.
4. So the answer is option (e), E.
Teacher's Note:
1. Start with the sentence that states the policy or topic.
2. Statistics and 'even higher' type remarks come near the end.
Sentence Rearrangement
Directions (Q. 46-50): In each of these questions a disarranged sentence is given in which words or phrases are lettered P, Q, R and S. You are to arrange these to form a meaningful sentence.
P : an image of a person in meditative pose
Q : surrounded by animals, wild and tame
R : we have in the relics of Mohenjodaro
S : with eyes closed and indrawn
(a) R P S Q
(b) P Q S R
(c) R Q P S
(d) Q P R S
(e) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) R P S Q
Explanation:
1. The sentence begins with the subject and verb R, 'we have in the relics of Mohenjodaro', and then the object P, 'an image of a person in meditative pose'.
2. S describes the person (eyes closed and indrawn) and so follows P, and Q, 'surrounded by animals, wild and tame', completes the picture.
3. Full sentence: We have in the relics of Mohenjodaro an image of a person in meditative pose with eyes closed and indrawn surrounded by animals, wild and tame.
4. Option (c) puts Q before P, but Q describes the image in P and cannot come before it.
Teacher's Note:
1. Find the part with the subject and verb first.
2. Modifiers (with..., surrounded by...) follow the noun they describe.
P : by her indulgent parents
Q : the child was so spoiled
R : when she did not receive all of their attention
S : that she pouted and became sullen
(a) R Q P S
(b) Q R P S
(c) Q P S R
(d) Q S P R
(e) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) Q P S R
Explanation:
1. The sentence starts with Q, 'the child was so spoiled', followed by P, 'by her indulgent parents', which tells who spoiled her.
2. S, 'that she pouted and became sullen', completes the 'so...that' structure, and R tells when this happened.
3. Full sentence: The child was so spoiled by her indulgent parents that she pouted and became sullen when she did not receive all of their attention.
4. Options with R early (a) or R before P (b) break the 'so spoiled ... that' link.
Teacher's Note:
1. 'So ... that' pairs must stay together in the right order.
2. A time clause beginning with 'when' usually comes near the end.
P : new members
Q : and to raise money
R : the purpose of the meeting
S : is to introduce
(a) R S P Q
(b) P Q S R
(c) R Q P S
(d) Q P R S
(e) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) R S P Q
Explanation:
1. R, 'the purpose of the meeting', is the subject, so it opens the sentence.
2. S, 'is to introduce', is the verb, followed by its object P, 'new members', and then Q, 'and to raise money', joined by 'and'.
3. Full sentence: The purpose of the meeting is to introduce new members and to raise money.
4. Option (c) puts Q ('and to raise money') before P, which breaks the 'to introduce ... and to raise' parallel.
Teacher's Note:
1. Subject first, then verb, then object.
2. 'And to ...' joins the second purpose and stays at the end.
P : for the future
Q : and poses the major challenge
R : commercial energy consumption
S : shows an increasing trend
(a) R P S Q
(b) R S Q P
(c) R Q P S
(d) P R S Q
(e) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) R S Q P
Explanation:
1. R, 'commercial energy consumption', is the subject, and S, 'shows an increasing trend', is its first verb phrase.
2. Q, 'and poses the major challenge', joins a second verb phrase with 'and', and P, 'for the future', ends the sentence.
3. Full sentence: Commercial energy consumption shows an increasing trend and poses the major challenge for the future.
4. Option (d) starts with 'for the future', which is a phrase and cannot start the sentence before the subject.
Teacher's Note:
1. The subject usually comes first when no linking word starts a part.
2. 'And' joins two verbs that share one subject.
P : that
Q : racialism
R : should be wiped out
S : people want
(a) R P S Q
(b) S P Q R
(c) R Q P S
(d) Q P R S
(e) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) S P Q R
Explanation:
1. S, 'people want', has the subject and verb, so it opens the sentence.
2. P, 'that', introduces the clause, Q, 'racialism', is its subject and R, 'should be wiped out', is its verb phrase.
3. Full sentence: People want that racialism should be wiped out.
4. Option (a) starts with R, a verb phrase without its subject, so it cannot begin the sentence.
Teacher's Note:
1. A clause joined by 'that' follows the verb that introduces it.
2. Subject, then verb, then the rest.
Word Rearrangement
Directions (Q. 51-55): In each of the following questions five words are given, which are numbered I, II, III, IV and V. By using all the five words, each only once, you have to frame a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence. The correct order of the words is the answer. Choose from the five alternatives the one having the correct order of words.
(a) III, IV, I, II, V
(b) V, IV, I, II, III
(c) III, IV, V, I, II
(d) III, V, IV, I, II
(e) III, IV, II, V, I
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) III, IV, I, II, V
Explanation:
1. The correct sentence is: Children are interested in games.
2. 'Children' (III) is the subject and 'are' (IV) is the verb.
3. 'Interested' (I) goes with the preposition 'in' (II), followed by the object 'games' (V).
4. Option (e) gives 'Children are in games interested', which is not a meaningful sentence.
Teacher's Note:
1. Identify the subject and verb first.
2. Check fixed pairs such as 'interested in'.
(a) III, I, II, IV, V
(b) I, III, IV, II, V
(c) III, IV, II, V, I
(d) I, II, IV, III, V
(e) III, I, V, II, IV
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (e) III, I, V, II, IV
Explanation:
1. The correct sentence is: He was ready to go.
2. 'He' (III) is the subject and 'was' (I) is the verb.
3. 'Ready' (V) is the complement, and 'to go' (II, IV) is the infinitive that completes it.
4. Option (a) places 'to' before 'go' but puts 'ready' after them, which does not make sense.
Teacher's Note:
1. The pattern is subject, verb, complement.
2. 'To' stays directly before its verb.
(a) V, II, III, I, IV
(b) III, IV, II, V, I
(c) V, I, III, II, IV
(d) V, II, III, IV, I
(e) III, IV, V, II, I
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) V, I, III, II, IV
Explanation:
1. The correct sentence is: We found his lost book.
2. 'We' (V) is the subject and 'found' (I) is the verb.
3. 'His' (III) and 'lost' (II) describe 'book' (IV), so the object phrase is 'his lost book'.
4. Option (a) gives 'We lost his found book', which does not make sense.
Teacher's Note:
1. Possessives such as 'his' come before other adjectives.
2. Put the subject and verb first, then the object.
(a) V, II, IV, I, III
(b) II, V, IV, I, III
(c) IV, V, III, I, II
(d) II, V, III, I, IV
(e) II, III, V, I, IV
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) II, V, III, I, IV
Explanation:
1. The correct sentence is: He was proud of me.
2. 'He' (II) is the subject and 'was' (V) is the verb.
3. 'Proud' (III) is followed by the preposition 'of' (I) and then its object 'me' (IV).
4. Option (e) places 'proud' before 'was', which breaks the grammar.
Teacher's Note:
1. 'Proud of' is a fixed pair.
2. A pronoun object such as 'me' comes after the preposition.
(a) IV, III, V, II, I
(b) IV, I, III, V, II
(c) II, I, III, V, IV
(d) IV, I, V, III, II
(e) II, III, V, IV, I
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) IV, I, III, V, II
Explanation:
1. The correct sentence is: Your decision made me happy.
2. 'Your decision' (IV, I) is the subject, and 'made' (III) is the verb.
3. 'Me' (V) is the object and 'happy' (II) describes the object.
4. Option (d) puts 'me' before 'made', which does not form a correct sentence.
Teacher's Note:
1. 'Made me happy' follows the pattern verb, object, complement.
2. Possessive words come before their noun.
