The correct answer is option 5 i.e. No arrangement required.

Key Points

We can look at the sentence in the following way:

There can also be cases of ---------- (A) judgment of liabilities, where the scheme ---------- (B) an opportunity for quick justice to innocent taxpayers, who are falsely ------------ (C).

• Erroneous: It is an adjective which means wrong; incorrect. Here the adjective describes the noun ‘judgment’ and hence it is in its correct place.
• Provides: Refers to (of a law) enable or allow (something to be done). It’s a verb that is correctly preceded by the noun ‘scheme’.
• Implicated: It is the past tense form of the verb ‘implicate’ which refers to show (someone) to be involved in a crime. The blank here needs a verb and ‘implicated’ is the correct one according to its definition stated earlier.

Hence, A, B, and C’s place is unchanged.

The correct sentence will be “There can also be cases of the erroneous (A) judgment of liabilities, where the scheme provides (B) an opportunity for quick justice to innocent taxpayers, who are falsely implicated (C).”

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. BAC.

Key Points

We can look at the sentence in the following way:

Increased ----------- (A) of airlift assets would mean higher ---------- (B) requirements, and since most are foreign-sourced, they will have to be sent --------- (C) for major servicing.

Maintenance: Here it refers to the process of preserving a condition or situation or the state of being preserved. So, according to the definition, maintenance always comes after the usage of a product or a material which is ‘airlift assets’ in this case.

Utilization: Refers to the action of making practical and effective use of something.

Abroad: Refers to foreign countries considered collectively. The blank here doesn’t need any change because according to the meaning of ‘abroad’, it is correctly preceded by the word ‘foreign-sourced’ in the sentence and hence gives meaning to the context.

Hence, A should be replaced by B, B should be replaced by A, and C’s place is unchanged.

After rearrangement, the correct sentence will be “Increased utilization (A) of airlift assets would mean higher maintenance (B) requirements, and since most are foreign-sourced, they will have to be sent abroad (C) for major servicing.”

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. CBA.

Key Points

We can look at the sentence in the following way:

The ----------- (A) coronavirus is an example of close ---------- (B) between urban development and new or re-emerging ----------- (C) diseases.

Infectious: Here it refers to (of a disease or disease-causing organism) liable to be transmitted to people, organisms, etc. through the environment. Although it is an adjective that is followed by a noun, it doesn’t fit in this blank perfectly.

Relationship: Refers to how two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected. It’s a noun correctly followed by the preposition ‘between’.

Ongoing: Refers to continuing; still in progress. The blank here needs an adjective other than the current one to sound meaningful according to the context because the words ‘re-emerging’ and ‘ongoing’ don’t go hand in hand.

Hence, A should be replaced by C, C should be replaced by A, and B’s place is unchanged.

After rearrangement, the correct sentence will be “The ongoing (A) coronavirus is an example of close relationships (B) between urban development and new or re-emerging infectious (C) diseases.”

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. BCA.

Key Points

We can look at the sentence in the following way:

A ----------- (A) should also have been made based on the class of ----------- (B): venture capital funds are financial investors who may not necessarily be ----------- (C) in taking over and running a business.

Interested: Refers to showing curiosity or concern about something or someone; having a feeling of interest. Since the sentence starts with the indefinite article ‘a’ a word starting with a consonant must be used rather than a vowel. The only option that starts with a consonant is ‘distinction’.

Distinction: Refers to a difference or contrast between similar things or people. ‘Distinction’ is a noun that needs to be followed by a verb.

Investor: Refers to a person or organization that puts money into financial schemes, property, etc. with the expectation of achieving a profit. The blank here should tell us about the attribute of the noun ‘financial investors’ and hence needs to be an adjective.

Hence, A should be replaced by B, B should be replaced by C, and A should take C's place.

After rearrangement, the correct sentence will be “A distinction (A) should also have been made based on the class of investors (B): venture capital funds are financial investors who may not necessarily be interested (C) in taking over and running a business.”

The correct answer is option 4) i.e. BCA.

Explanation:

• We can look at the sentence in the following way:

Towards the ________(A) of March, I found myself muttering like a mantra under my ________ (B): in the end, there will be ________ (C) and cockroaches.

• Queers: Refer to people who are not heterosexual and believe in same-sex union (gay, lesbian, bisexual or pansexual). It tells us about a type of people.

 For example-' a queer movement' that means a movement about the queers.

• End: Meaning finishing or termination of something.

End is a noun and is followed by the preposition ‘of’.

• Breath: Refer to the inhale or exhale of air or heaving a sigh.

‘Under one’s (my) breath’ is a phrase that means to say something in a very low voice.

For example- The angry kid muttered something unpleasant under his breath after being scolded by his teacher for fighting in the class.

• Hence, A should be replaced by B, B should be replaced by C, and A should take C’s place.

​

The correct sentence is – “Towards the end (A) of March, I found myself muttering like a mantra under my breath (B): in the end, there will be queers (C) and cockroaches.”

The correct answer is 'C'.

Key Points

• The correct sequence of the segments after rearrangement is CABED.
• Sentence C comes in the first place as out of all the sentences, it is independent of any sentence and gives general information about Gandhiji's life.
• Sentence A will come after C as it refers to one incident which happened when Gandhiji was travelling as usual.
• Sentence B will come after A as it briefs what happened in that incident during the night. It is in continuation with the previous sentence.
• Sentence E will come after B as it is giving information about how he spent his whole night shivering.
• The sentence D will come after E as it is the concluding part and suggests how this incident was a turning point in his life.
• ​From the above sequence, we can say that sentence 'C' is the first sentence after rearrangement.

Paragraph after rearranging the sentences: Gandhiji had to travel by train from Durban to Pretoria in connection with his job. Once while travelling by train, he was asked to leave the first-class compartment and shift to the van compartment. Then, he was pushed forcibly out of the compartment and his luggage was thrown on the platform. It was winter and he kept shivering all night. This was a turning point in Gandhiji's life and he decide to stay back in South Africa and fight against this injustice.

Hint

• Important Rules to Solve the Para Jumbles:
• ​Read the sentences carefully and try to comprehend the idea or theme of the sentences and eliminate the irrelevant options first.
• Try to identify the opening (independent sentence) and closing sentences (dependant/ concluding part).
• Try to identify the mandatory pairs and co-relating sentences. Two sentences can be connected using various connectors and other determinants.
