PARAJUMBLES TIPS & TRICKS

What are Para-Jumbles?

Para-Jumble refers to a paragraph wherein the sentences forming it
are jumbled. So, what are we supposed to do here? We are required
to arrange the sentences in a proper manner such that they link and
form a coherent paragraph.
The name of the topic is in a way misleading, because we are not
jumbling paragraphs here but we are actually straightening out
jumbled sentences in a paragraph. This type of question is
actually pretty common in various competitive exams and in recent
years. The right approach to such type of questions can fetch you
good marks in such exams.
Sample Para-Jumble Type-1
Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the given
choices to construct a coherent paragraph.
A. On Monday the secretary of state is due to hold a day of meetings
with high-level political, military and business figures to further a
"strategic dialogue" aimed at further expansion of US trade in India.
B. US secretary of state Hillary Clinton arrived in India on Sunday
for strategic talks aimed at bolstering bilateral ties and securing
firmer support for the war in Afghanistan.
C. Clinton arrived by plane in Delhi before noon, according to a
reporter travelling with her, ahead of expected talks with Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh and President Pratibha Patel in the
evening.

In the second type, the opening sentence and closing sentence are
already fixed.

sports.
A. The prime reason for poor performances is corruption & political
interference.
B. Even though, huge amount is spent on training and grooming of
the players we still have not been able to achieve the desired results.

sports competitions and to prove their worth take escape through
doping.
6. Doping is a way to enhance the performance by the means of
drugs and steroids.

In the third type, questions are asked after the jumbled sentences.
This type usually only comes in banking exams.
For example:
A. But this does not mean that death was the Egyptians' only
preoccupation.
B. Even papyri come mainly from the pyramids.
C. Most of our traditional sources of information about the Old
Kingdom are monuments of the rich like pyramids and tombs.
D. Houses in which ordinary Egyptians lived have not been
preserved, and when most people died they were buried in simple
graves.
E. We know infinitely more about the wealthy people of Egypt than
we do about the ordinary people, as most monuments were made for
the rich.
F. Customs of any culture can be a reliable source to know about the
people of that culture but status of people can bring in differences.

 Basic Strategies for solving Para-jumble Questions:
Try to locate the introductory sentence: While you go through the
labelled sentences, try to look for one that makes a fresh beginning.
It should not be a sentence that is extending previous ideas.
Check for Conclusive Last Sentences: Test setters are smart. They
would typically not let you get away so easily. There are multiple
options beginning with the introductory sentence. So you will need
more than one clue. The last sentence in the paragraph is one that
summarizes and has links to previous sentences.
Anticipate the order of the sentences: Knowing that going through
each choice is cumbersome, you must clearly work towards
generating some kind of order in your mind, before you look at the
options. This tactic will help save the precious time.
See if there are any logical sequences among sentence pairs:
Very often a pair of sentences can be chronologically arranged
because of clues in one of the sentences. Standard clues include
reference to a person or a thing. The first time such a reference is
made, a noun form is used. The second reference will be pronoun or
a preposition. For example, look at these two sentences:
Directions (1-5): In the following six sentences, the first one is
fixed, remaining are jumbled, arrange them in proper sequence
to make a coherent paragraph.
