Given below are four jumbled sentences. Select the option that gives their correct order forming a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. At the outset we had difficulties in understanding one another as he spoke no German, and I no Italian.
B. We both knew only a minimum of English, so we conversed, with the help of a friend, in halting French.
C. My future companion was named Marchese and was in outward appearance a typical Italian.
D. He was something over forty years of age, slim of figure, with agreeable manners, and distinctly well dressed; I was particularly impressed by his physique.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB - 2023,

Answer: C

The correct order is CDAB. Sentence C has to open the paragraph because it introduces the person being described, Marchese, the future companion, which the other sentences refer to as he. Sentence D follows with his age, build, manners and dress, which describes him further. Sentence A then says that at first the two could not understand one another since he spoke no German and the narrator no Italian. Sentence B closes the thought by saying how they managed: with a minimum of English and the help of a friend, in halting French. Options that begin with D or B use he or We both before anyone has been introduced.

Choose the most logical order of the sentences from among the four given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.

Power foods are foods that provide rich levels of nutrients like fiber, potassium, and minerals.
A) There are various ways of incorporating power foods in your daily diet.
B) Of course, the key to enjoying power foods is proper preparation of these foods, the use of season-fresh foods, and identifying your choice of flavour among power foods.
C) With people becoming increasingly health conscious today, a lot of fitness trainers encourage their clients to include these foods in their daily diet to increase muscle development.
D) Some of the recommended power food combinations are those that are prepared in our kitchens on a regular basis.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB - 2023,

Answer: A

The key gives CABD. Sentence C talks of people becoming more health conscious and of trainers advising their clients to include power foods in their diet, so it follows the opening line well, because it says why power foods matter. Sentence A then moves to the various ways of working them into the daily diet. Sentence B adds that the key to enjoying them is preparation and the use of fresh food, and sentence D ends with the recommended combinations prepared in the kitchen. The order ABCD starts with A, which refers to 'power foods' in the daily diet before the trend is introduced, and DCBA puts the recommended combinations first, so neither follows the key.

C) Curiosity is the driving force behind scientific research.
D) It motivates individuals to observe nature closely and record what they observe.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB - 2023,

Answer: B

The key gives BACD. The first line defines scientific research. Sentence B follows by tracing its importance back to ancient times when medicine was in its early stages. Sentence A then says that progress came only when men began to observe nature closely and conduct experiments, which continues the history. Sentence C moves to what drives research, curiosity, and sentence D explains that curiosity motivates people to observe nature and record what they see. The orders beginning with A or with D start in the middle of the story, because A talks of a time 'only when' and D of 'It' with nothing to refer to.

Choose the most logical order of the sentences from among the four given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.

A. Where his illustrious rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were - and still are - wildly popular, universally, Djokovic was admired but not quite loved.
B. Sporting heroes, like celebrated authors, have a devoted following.
C. Novak Djokovic has often suffered this fate.
D. With time, as tastes become more defined, the fandom narrows, leaving little scope for accommodating others.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: C

Sentence B states the general idea: sporting heroes, like authors, have devoted followers. Sentence D follows it and develops the idea, saying that as tastes become more defined the fandom narrows and leaves little room for others. Sentence C then brings in the example, saying that Novak Djokovic has often suffered this fate (the little room), the word 'this' pointing back to D. Sentence A closes by explaining the case, in which Federer and Nadal were wildly popular while Djokovic was admired but not loved. So the order is B, D, C, A. The order starting with A or D has no introduction, and C cannot come before D, as 'this fate' needs an earlier mention. The answer is BDCA, option C.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: B

Sentence C introduces the event: the royal family ended King Charles's first birthday parade with a balcony appearance to watch a fly-past. Sentence A comes next, saying that they were cheered by the crowds who had gathered outside the palace (the pronoun 'they' refers to the royal family in C). Sentence B then describes the air display, the 70 aircraft that came after bad weather had cut short the fly-past at the coronation. Sentence D ends the paragraph, as 'it ended with the Red Arrows' refers to the air display. So the order is C, A, B, D. Starting with D or A gives no subject for the pronouns. The answer is CABD, option B.
