1. Question
Directions:(1-5) The following statements, when arranged in their correct order, form a coherent paragraph. Find the correct order.
A. But the elder wife saw her husband growing grey with great pleasure, for she did not like to be mistaken for his mother. B. So every night she used to comb his hair and pick out the grey ones. C. In the old days, when men were allowed to have many wives, a middle-aged Man had one wife that was old and one that was young; each loved him very much, and desired to see him like herself. D. Finally, the man soon found himself entirely bald. E. Now the man’s hair was turning grey, which the young wife did not like, as it made him look too old for her husband. F. So every morning she used to arrange his hair and pick out as many of the black ones as she could.
What is the fifth sentence after rearrangement ?
Correct
Sentence C introduces the main characters of the paragraph, the man and his two wives and gives the context of the passage. Thus, C is suitable as the opening sentence. Sentence B begins with a result transition word “so”. This indicates that the events in sentence B – one of the wives picking the grey hair of the man, occurred as a result of some event that occurred earlier. In sentence E it is given that the younger wife does not like grey hair. Thus, the event in B would definitely follow the event in E. Thus, EB forms a pair. In sentence F also the result transition type “so” is used. Thus, the event in F – wife picking the black hair would have occurred as a consequence of an event mentioned earlier in the paragraph. In sentence A it is given that the elder wife does not like old hair, thus event in F happened because of the reasons stated in A. Thus, AF also forms a pair. Sentence D has the conclusion transition word “finally” and thus would be the last sentence of the paragraph. Now we have to fit the pairs EB and AF between C and D. In sentence A, another type of transition word “but” indicates that the idea presented in AF is contrary to another idea. The idea in AF is – the elder wife being jealous and picking out the black hair and the idea presented in the pair EB is – the younger women picking out the grey hair. Thus, AF and EB present contrasting ideas and thus, AF follow EB. Thus, the final order of the sentence is CEBAFD. The fifth sentence after rearrangement is F.
