Suggested Videos As we shall see, this section is similar to the other reading comprehension sections. But before we start with an example let us know about the various kinds of sentences in a paragraph. A paragraph starts with what is known as the topic sentence. This sentence introduces the topic and the domain of the paragraph. Then follow the supporting sentences. The supporting sentences contain further information about the topic sentence. The conclusion or the concluding sentence is the last part of the paragraph. It sums up the supporting sentences and also points to the topic sentence. The paragraph thus has to follow a natural order Topic sentence > Supporting Sentences > Concluding Sentence. Your task will primarily be to spot these sentences. Let us practice with some examples now. Examples of Jumbled Paragraphs Following are a few examples that we will be answering the Jumbled Paragraphs. In the questions, sentences from I to IV are present. These sentences are all part of a paragraph but do not necessarily fall in the order that they are in. Find the correct order from the options that are given at the end. Example 1 I The main thing that propelled the development of the aeroplanes at such a fast pace was, however, the first and the second world war. II An aeroplane was a wonderful invention of its time. III But its use as a main means of transport was adopted later only done later. IV Some even say that it was one of the greatest inventions of all time. The correct order of the sentences is A I – II – IV – III B II – IV – III – I C III – IV – II – I D IV – II – III – I Answer The correct option is B II – IV – III – I. As you can see the topic sentence introduces the aeroplanes as the greatest invention. Now will follow the topic sentences which are IV and II.

II It was this, probably, that prompted him to go to the closet in which he knew that Nicholas Bundy kept a pistol. III This ought to have quieted him for the night, but it did not. IV At times he placed the pistol under his pillow, but he had not done so to-night, considering it quite unnecessary in a quiet boarding-house. A II – III – I IV B III – II – I – IV C III – I – II – IV D IV – II – I – III Answer Here we shall try to find the topic sentence first. The topic sentence is the one that sets the scene here. This is the III sentence. The second sentence will be the one that immediately follows this thought. This is the I sentence. The rest is easy. The pistol is the word that you have to look for. So the correct order is III-I-II-IV or the option C. Thus we see that there are two types of questions in the paragraph jumbling. One is which follows the regular conclusive order. These are usually easier and all you need to do is read a sentence and see if there is anything that is introduced without explanation. For example, a sentence like this “these vehicles were then ordered to be redesigned” can’t be the leading sentence. It has pronouns and terms that are yet to be introduced. A context is missing. So as long as the context is missing, the sentence can’t be the topic sentence. Practice Questions Q 1 The following sentences are not in order. The correct order is provided in one of the options.
