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. More formally, it refers to hymns (or suktas) in specific poetic meters and arranged according to some rules.
B. The hymns are said to be revelations of various sages or rishis.
C. The first portion of the Vedas is called the ‘Samhita’.
D. This literally means ‘putting together’.
Answer: C
The correct order is CDAB. Sentence C opens the paragraph by naming the first portion of the Vedas, the Samhita. D follows with "This literally means putting together", where "This" refers to the word Samhita. A then adds "More formally, it refers to hymns", continuing the explanation of that word, and B closes by saying how those hymns are regarded, as revelations of sages. DCBA, CADB and DABC start with or put a sentence containing "This" or "More formally" before the thing it refers to.
