In Rearrangement of Sentences in a paragraph questions, six sentences are provided and named [latex]S_{1}[/latex], P, Q, R, S and [latex]S_{6}[/latex]. The first and last sentences of a paragraph are [latex]S_{1}[/latex] and [latex]S_{6}[/latex] respectively. The remaining four sentences which are in between [latex]S_{1}[/latex] and [latex]S_{6}[/latex] i.e. P, Q, R and S are provided in a jumbled order. The candidate is required to arrange these four sentences in a meaningful order and then select the correct sequence from among the choices given.

Rearranging Sentence in a paragraph – Sentence rearrangement is a vital point and which additionally simple, the candidate need to see just tenses and trick that is basic for all types of question asked. The candidate will have a passage in breaking sentences and need to revise in proper order in appropriate arrangements to make the original passage. Strategies: -

• Ignore reading the sentence, over and over, it just take your more often than not. Survey the choices; if each of the choices begins with different letters, pick the sentence to begin the gathering prompts the right answer.
• In choices that are almost related, pick an compulsory pair of sentences.
• Pay special mind to quick bits of data, for example, pronouns, conjunctions. At the primary spot of sentences to offer you some help with setting up a gathering.
• For example, if there are six sentences choices and in six sentences choices, work backward from sentence 6 if there is no right choice to work from sentence 1; more often than not we neglect the clues of information that may be important.

Tips: - Some useful Tips for solving sentence rearrangement are as followed.

• Sentence rearrangement are troublesome and time-consuming in these questions and comprise the gathering of jumbled up sentences.
• To rearrange the sentences in original form, is the solution. Questions are followed by five questions and five marks.
• Look out all the sentences and find out the goal of passage: Check out for the opening and closing sentence
• Identify some transition words like simultaneously, hence, besides, see a relative pronoun, demonstrative pronoun, and personal pronoun.
• Understand explanation and examples: check out for the source of ideas, concept or anything.
• After the rearrangement of sentences, correct it with making sense and sequence, check once again.

In the following questions, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labelled as P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark accordingly. 1.
