Mission IBPS Exam :Rules of ParagraphJumbles (Sentence Rearrangement)Dear Readers,Many of our readers were demanding rules for Sentence Arrangement,considering this here, we are providing rules of Sentence Arrangements. Weare providing you quiz of English which is one of the most important sectionsof banking exams, in which you can score maximum with ease if youare practicing on very regular basis, It is crucial for all the upcoming bankingexams, IBPS/RRB etc.
Parajumbles are in important part of most competitive exams. In variousmanagement entrance exams we have seen 3 basic types ofparajumbles:
• 4 sentence type• 5 sentence type• 6 sentence type : Usually when there are 6 sentences given, the 1stsentence and the 6th sentence are given in the correct position and he 4sentences between these are jumbled up.
Parajumbles are not necessarily a test of your language skills. The goodthing about parajumbles is that even if you are otherwise weak in English,that is if you find RC, vocabulary or grammar a challenge, you can still scoreextremely will in parajumbles. This is because you need to be as mechanicalas possible in your approach.
The ideal approach for solving parajumbles is a mechanical one. Most peoplelose focus by reading the statements given over and over again. Sometimes,it is next to impossible to make out which sentence follows which one and allthe options look equally correct. The greatest mistake is to try and read theparajumble in the sequence given in each option. Solving all optionscompletely will only confuse you and waste a lot of time.
The best way to solve a parajumble is to try and identify mandatory pairs. Amandatory pair is a sequence that you know cannot exist in any other order.There are many types of mandatory pairs. But there is only one basic tool toidentify mandatory pairs – read mechanically and look only for keywords thatwill help you form a sequence or connection.
Types of Mandatory Pairs:
1. Names, proper nouns and pronouns:Sometimes we can identify mandatory pairs or a longer sequence by the helpof the names, proper nouns and pronouns used. For instance:A. Both were very angry.B. Singh accused Jogi of corruption.C. Raman Singh ordered enquiry against his predecessor Ajit Jogi.
It is clear from the above example that statement C, which has the fullnames of both persons, should precede the other two statements. StatementB uses only the second names of the concerned people. And statement Asubstitutes the names with the pronoun “both”. Thus, A should follow B, andB should follow C. Therefore, the correct order is CBA.
2. Causeeffect:There are instances where a clear cause effect relationship may exist in theform of a mandatory pair or may run through the entire parajumble.
For example:A. While Sachin is a great batsman, Kambli’s name is often associatedwith scams.B. Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli are good friends.C. As a result, their relationship has become strained.
Here it is easy to see that the use of “as a result” in statement C, stablishesa cause and effect relationship. The correct sequence therefore, is BAC.
3. Chronology:At times you can see logical chain of events in the parajumble. It could alsobe in the form of a set of instructions to be followed in a certain order. If youlook for keywords associated with the sequence, you can easily figure out

look for keywords associated with the sequence, you can easily figure outthe right order.
For instance:A. In order to take full advantage of the ongoing city sale you must possessa good credit card.B. It would also be nice to have friends to accompany you.C. Secondly, you should have a vehicle of your own. As you can see in the above example, statement C follow statement A. Agives the first and C gives the second condition. The use of “also” in B tellsyou that it should follow C. Therefore, ACB is the correct order.
4. Time reference:Some question have a statement that refers to a point in time. The referencemaybe in the past, present or future. Accordingly, you can decide its place inthe sequence.
For example:A. In the future perhaps, we may live on Mars.B. During the Stone Age, man lived in caves.C. Presently, man lives in concrete jungles.
The use of “Stone Age” in statement B, “presently” in C and “future” in Amake it easy for us to identify the sequence. The past will always come first,followed by the present and then the future. The correct sequence then is,BCA.
5. Obvious openers:You may sometimes come across statements that are obvious openers, i.e.it is obvious that the parajumble will begin with those statements. Thesestatements can be definitions, universal truths or philosophical statements. For instance:A. The stratosphere is one of the layers of the atmosphere.B. It is the upper portion of the atmosphere, a nearly isothermal layer (layerof constant temperature) that is located above the troposphere.C. It extends from its lower boundary of about 6 to 17 km (4 to 11miles)altitude to its upper boundary (the stratopause) at about 50 km (30 miles). It is clear to see that “it” in B and C refers to the “stratosphere” in statement.A. Statement A is thus an obvious opener and the correct order is ABC.
6. Obvious conclusions:Sometimes, you can easily figure out the conclusion in the parajumble. Theconclusion helps to eliminate choices or to identify a mandatory pair.
For example:A. On the mantelpiece were two clocks, some dogs, brass candlesticks anda tinted photograph of Annie.B. You looked at the weedgrown vegetable garden through a stuffed fox’slegs, over a partridge’s head, along the redpaintstained breast of a stiff wildduck.C. The best room smelt of mothballs and fur and damp and dead plants andstale, sour air. Two glass cases on wooden coffinboxes lined the windowwall.D. It was obvious that the room was rarely used.You can see that C introduces the room, A and B further describe it and Dconcludes the paragraph.
7. Keywords:Words like – so, therefore, however, hence, thus, moreover, but, because,nevertheless, yet, etc. – also help identify mandatory pairs. For instance:A. Yet, the cable guys control twothirds of the market.B. Telephone firms are now cutting down their prices to complete andgrab their share of the internet market.C. Cable net connections are expensive.D. This is because there is a growing demand for high speed internetaccess.
It is clear from the above example that CA is a mandatory pair. C putsacross a point that cable net connections are expensive. The use of “yet” inA, shows that despite being expensive, they hold a major share in themarket. The use of “because” in D gives a reason for this phenomenon.Thus, C, A and D are connected to each other in that order. Statement Bgives the effect of the phenomenon on the telephone firms. Hence, CADB isthe correct sequence.
8. General to specific:Sometimes one gets confused about whether to move from general tospecific or from specific to general.

For instance: A. He made an interesting comment about our store’s price policy.B. He said that we could offer discounts and incentives to encourage peopleto buy in fewer quantities but to buy more frequently.C. Discounts could vary from 10 to 15 per cent on every purchase.D. The lesser the quantity, the more frequently customers will have to visitthe store. The more frequent the visits, the more incentives they can earn.
In this case the confusion could be between BCD and BDC. Here, we willmove from general to specific. C is a specific example for D and not viceversa. Therefore, the correct sequence is ABDC.
In order to master parajumbles it is important to understand their structure.Let’s slowly build up on the concept of ‘parajumbles’. Go through thefollowing solved examples and follow the instructions given.
1. Questions can become easy to solve if you pay more attention to only thefirst few words of every statement. For instance:A. Although, like the Talapadas, the Pardeshis also claim to be Rajputsand Kshatriyas, most of them have not yet adopted traditional Rajput namesfor their lineages.B. Only recently a few lineages have begum to patronize the VahivanchaBarots, who have recorded their remembered shallow genealogies andgrafted them on to mythical genealogies.C. Each Pardeshi lingeage is known after its village of origin.D. The latter provide them with Rajput clan names, but they rarely usethem in normal life.
In the above case, by reading only the highlighted words, you can clearly seea relationship between CB. C talks about Pardeshi lineages and B continuesas it starts with ‘only recently a few lineages…………’ Thus only by readingthe first few words of every statement you can establish at least onemandatory pair and usually eliminate at least 2 choices.
2. Let’s now learn to associate keywords, ideas and form sequences. Look atthe following examples:A. Many Western observers, and under their influence many Indianscholars and social critics also, have written that India was almostcompletely a stagnant country, without true history, till she came into lifegiving contact with Western civilisation in the eighteenth century.B. The socalled joint family is one such notable institution.C. There is a wellestablished viewpoint which alleges that Hindu socialinstitutions have had a blighting effect on India’s social and economicdevelopment.D. They contend That the economy and society in this country, and indeedthe India mind, had remained frozen for about two thousand years till theBritish conquest of India introduced a vital element of dynamism into the‘native’ society. In the above example it can be seen clearly that CB are mandatory pairs. Ctalks of the blighting effect Hindu social institutions have had on the Indianeconomy and society; and B continues by saying that the joint family is onesuch institution. The ‘they’ in D, refers to the observers, scholars and criticsin A. Therefore AD is also a mandatory pair. Thus the correct sequence isCBAD.
3. Now let’s learn to build up from small sequences to bigger ones.
I. A. Such is the difficulty a carp faces in becoming a dragon.B. Some are swept away by the by the strong currents, some fall prey toeagles, hawks, kites, and owls, and others are netted, scooped up or evenshot with arrows by fishermen who line both banks of the falls. In the above case, B describes the different difficulties and A obviously sumsup the explanation as it starts with ‘such is the difficulty’. BA is then themandatory sequence.
II. A. Minamoto and Taira were like two faithful watchdogs at the gates ofthe imperial palace.B. They marvelled at the elegant parties of the court nobles and their ladies,just as monkeys in the trees are enraptured by the sight of the moon and thestars glittering in the sky.C. They were eager to guard the emperor s humble mountain folk are toadmire the full moon on the fifteenth night of the eighth month as it rises frombehind the mountains. Here, the ‘they’ in C clearly refers to the ‘two faithful watchdogs’ in A.Therefore AC is a mandatory pair. The correct sequence then is ACB.
III. A. The most important ones are the family and the school. B. Much of the anger that is publicly expressed against the hierarchy ofcastein the newspapers, on television, in conferencesis purposeless if notinsincere.

insincere.C. Those who are serious about carrying the advance of equality further,particularly in the domain that I have discussed, must direct their attention tothe institutions that are the real obstacles in the path of that advance.D. Equality at least at the higher levels of society, can no longer besignificantly advanced by attacking caste. D introduces the fact that equality can no longer be established by attackingcaste. B continues the point about anger against hierarchy if caste. Themandatory pair is DB and not BD because D is more general than B. C thengoes on to identify the real obstacles and A names the most important ones.CA is therefore another mandatory sequence. The correct sequence then isDBCA.
IV. (i) The mighty warrior General Li Kuang, whose mother had beendevoured by a tiger, shot an arrow at the stone he believed was the tiger.A. Later he came to be known as General Stone Tiger.B. But once he realized it was only a stone, he was unable to pierce itagain.C. The arrow penetrated the stone all the way up to its feathers.D. This story applies to you. Though enemies lurk in the wait for you, yourresolute faith has forestalled great dangers before they could begin. (ii) Realizing this, you must strengthen your faith more than ever. I clearly introduces a story and A sums up that story. C and B figure inbetween. D talks about the relevance of the story and finds continuation in II.The correct sequence then is ICBADII.
V. A. She had cherished hopefiled visions of America as a land offreedom and democracy.B. Also, being a foreigner, she could not make herself understood well inEnglish, and they treated her coldly. At the same time, her husband hadbecome physically abusive, and a rift had grown between them.C. Sadly, however, this woman’s dream had been shattered. Life with herinlaws was by no means easy financially.D. She was not alone; many people in those days turned their eyesadmiringly to America, imagining it as some sort of dream land.E. Her sense of regret grew with each passing day. As her feelings ofisolation and despair deepened, she would often stand crying on the beach,watching the crimson sun set into the sea beyond the horizon. F. The tears that streamed down her cheeks flooded her already woundedheart with an aching, empty coldness, thus intensifying her sorrow.
A is an obvious opener. It talks about her hopes and dreams about America.D continues the point and talks further about other women who had dreamt ofAmerica. C then mentions that her dream were sadly shattered. B adds morepoints about how her dreams were shattered. E talks about her sense ofregret and F starts by talking of her consequent tears and sorrow. The correctsequence therefore is ADCBEF.
Now that you know the real tricks needed to crack parajumbles, attempt thefollowing exercises on your own.
Exercise Based On This: Direction (Q. 16): Rearrange the following six sentences (A), (B), (C),(D), (E) and (F) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph;then answer the questions given below them.
