Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order: Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph. A. As the end of his term neared, there was overwhelming public opinion in favour of his continuing in office. B. Besides the public and the elite, the media too believed that he should continue. C. He also got letters from several eminent people asking him o continue in the office. D. He got thousands of letters and emails from across the country telling him he had to continue as President, that he was the person everyone loved and so on.
Answer: D
The correct order is ADCB. A opens the paragraph with the situation: public opinion strongly favoured his continuing as the end of his term neared. D gives the first example of that opinion, thousands of letters and emails. C adds a further kind of evidence, letters from eminent people. B closes with the media, introduced by 'Besides the public and the elite', which refers back to the earlier groups.
ABCD and CADB place B or C before the groups they refer to, and CDAB starts with a detail before the main point.
