Discussion
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. A barrister friend of mine addressed the judge as milady, to which the robust Punjabi brother judge sitting with her glowered, ‘She is not your lady’.
B. The Delhi High Court got its first woman judge, Justice Leila Seth in 1991.
C. Because of its traditional context of sexual ownership, many lawyers could not bring themselves to address her as ‘milady’.
D. ‘She is as much my lady as milord is my lord,’ my friend responded with admirable élan.
Answer: D
The correct order is BCAD. B introduces the topic, the Delhi High Court's first woman judge. C says many lawyers could not bring themselves to call her "milady". A gives an example, a barrister friend who did address a judge as milady and was rebuked by her brother judge. D gives the friend's reply. BACD, ABDC and ACDB open with an example or with the reply, before the judge or the issue has been introduced. Only one of the four options has B first, then C, then A and D, because the passage must begin with the sentence that introduces the judge. The other options start with A, which refers to "the judge" before the topic is introduced.
