How to be proficient in sentence/paragraph


arrangement

re-

Prelude:
Friends nowadays, in almost all the bank probationary officers/clerks
examinations, five or ten questions relating to; arranging of sentences/jumbled up
sentences/ordering of sentences do appear. These sentences are part of a paragraph
having a common theme. The candidates are required to place these sentences in
proper sequence in order to form a coherent and meaningful paragraph.
Significance and format:
This section judges your competency of logical understanding concerning
interpretation of structure or order of sentences. It also checks your grasp and
thinking intensity at sequential reading skill.
These questions are usually of three types:
A. In this type of questions, each sentence is labeled with a letter viz A , B ,C
,D ,E etc . They are jumbled up. The candidate is required to rearrange these
parts in proper sequence, so as to form a coherent and a meaningful
paragraph, the candidate should choose the most logical order of sentences
from among the choices.
B. In this type of questions a sentence is given with some parts usually marked
P, Q, R ,S etc. jumbled up. Candidates are required to rearrange these parts
in proper sequence so as to form a meaningful sentence. The candidates
should read all the parts and try to find out the logical sequence. A little
practice will give you confidence of attempting such questions correctly.
C. In this type of questions, the first and last sentences of the paragraph are
given and the candidates are required to place the rest of the sentences in
proper sequence. However, this type seldom comes at English-section
nowadays.

How to attempt, strategy and right approach to answer :
Questions of arranging the sentences have a little different approach to solve . I
mean, in questions where no starting sentence is given; first try to find out the first
sentence. If any chronological order can be established, it will be an easy way of
solving the questions. Try to, then, find the linkage how the events go. If possible
find the final or the last sentence. That will facilitate you to come to the correct
answers. Eliminate the wrong options meanwhile choosing an option, you can also
check the remaining options in the light of the linkage you have found out. In this
way you will be in a position to arrive at the correct answer.
1) Questions where starting sentences and the last sentence is given, can be solved
more easily. The strategy is almost same as discussed above. First find out the
second sentences that have linkage of the event after the first sentence and the rest
sentence in sequence.
2) A practical approach, always , is to eliminate the options as soon as you reach a
linkage of sentences or the sequence of two or three sentences.
The type wherein the candidates are required to rearrange the jumbled parts
of a sentence in such a way , so as to form the sentence meaningful, can be
solved even with more ease. You should read all the parts , if required twice
/ thrice , to find out the logical sequence.
Else apart , if facing problem at the re- arrangement in an exam , and
incompetent to find the linkage between given sentences then do the first &
last sentence (as they are not that difficult to find ) and move ahead. Dont
mug your head further as it will consume your more time & will let you to
untouch other questions that you may be able to solve.
The excellent technique
Finding linkage is the most important task. For this purpose look for the
connected sentences or mandatory pairs and then using the same try to
shortlist the answer from the options given. Process of eliminating the wrong
option should always be adhered to.

One approach to look for the pronoun and then finding the answer to that
pronouns is also fruitful. Sometimes this may help you in tracing the linkage
between the sentences. Once you get the link, the rest is a cake walk.
Terminus
Ultimately, whatever approach you may have , your command over
vocabulary, your knowledge of grammatical rules, preposition, conjuction
etc. shall always be helpful in solving the questions relating to sentence re
arrangement.

The myths associated with Sentence Rearrangement:


1. This question cannot be solved without the help of options- Well the
answer is NO. These questions can be very easily solved without options.
2. You have to give a lot of time to solve them- The answer is again NO.
Each question needs a certain time to be solved and sentence
rearrangement is no different.
3. Sentence rearrangement is the most difficult portion of English Section.
4. You dont need to be good in vocabulary to solve a sentence
rearrangement. I beg to differ. You need to be good in vocabulary to solve
any question type in English and sentence rearrangement is no different.
