a) BDEC

b) CDEA

c) BEAC

d) None of these

e) No correction required

1) Answer (C)

Solution:

On carefully reading the fragments we see that the sentence is about the negro’s attempt to bridge the gap between the whites. B introduces the context of the sentence and it should be the opening part. E further states what the assumption is. Hence, E should follow B. A further continues what is mentioned in E. Thus, A should come next. C concludes the sentence by mentioning that they tried to bridge the gap of centuries. BEAC forms a coherent sentence. Sentence D is out of context.

Question 2: (A) Magnified into a crime but very little is said on the other side of the question (B)/ the men employed in various capacities by railroads, and (C)/ The commendation of these men takes the form of deeds (D)/ every misdeed is exaggerated, and every indiscretion (E)/ Whenever there is a strike, a great deal is written about.

a) EBDA

b) EBAD

c) DACE

d) None of these

e) No correction required

2) Answer (A)

Solution:

On carefully reading the fragments we see that the subject of the sentence is the men employed in railroads and the attribution during the strikes. E introduces the subject. Hence, it should be the opening part. B should follow E as it explains about ‘whom’. Fragments D and A form a pair as they mention what usually happens and what is excluded. Hence, EBDA forms a coherent sentence. Sentence C which mentions about the deeds will not fit in this sentence. It can come further in the paragraph.

Question 3: (A) Of the glorious climate of California he will hear much at every step, (B)/ when a Spanish novelist, either in fancy or prophecy, (C)/ the State and Lower California as long ago as 1510, (D)/ The name California was given to the territory comprising (E)/ wrote concerning “the great land of California, where an abundance of gold and precious stones are found.”

3) Answer (A)

Solution:

On carefully reading the fragments we see that the sentence talks about the ‘golden state’ California. Fragment D introduces the subject. Hence, it should be the opening fragment. C should follow D as it mentions what constituted the state. Fragments B and E form a pair as they explain the reason behind California’s name. DCBE forms a coherent sentence. Sentence A is out of context and should be excluded.

Question 4: (A) or to read a single word of the books which the dastardly heretic had written. (B)/ declared Luther an outlaw before God and man, (C)/ and forbade all Germans to give him shelter or food or drink, (D)/ the Reformation was no longer a spiritual and religious affair (E)/ The Diet of Worms, after due deliberation,

a) EBDC

b) EBCA

c) BCED

d) None of these

e) No correction required

4) Answer (B)

Solution:

On carefully reading the fragments we see that Luther is the subject of the sentence. Fragment E introduces the context of the sentence and should be the opening part of the sentence. Sentence B should follow E as it explains what happened in the meeting. Sentence C and A form a pair as they explain the restrictions on Luther. Sentence D which talks about reformation is out of context. Hence, EBCA forms a coherent paragraph.

c) DBEC

d) None of these

e) No correction required

5) Answer (D)

Solution:

On carefully reading the fragments, we see that the story of Quijano is the topic of the sentence. Hence, fragment D, which introduces the topic, should be the opening part of the sentence. Sentence B should follow D as it adds information about Quijano. Sentences E and A form a pair as they explain the costs and the causes of them. DBEA forms a coherent sentence. Fragment C is out of context and should be excluded.

a) DAEB

b) CAED

c) CBEA

d) None of these

e) No correction required

6) Answer (D)

Solution:

On carefully reading the fragments, we see that the sentence is about the early philosophical tradition. Sentence C introduces the subject of the sentence. Hence, it should be the opening fragment. Sentence E completes the structure of the ‘even though’ part. Hence, it should follow sentence C. Fragment A should follow C as it introduces a new dimension. Sentences D and B form a pair, completing the ‘although…, no major’ part of the sentence. Hence, CEADB forms a coherent sentence.

Question 7: (A) Secured the book as a landmark in the study and representation of demons. (B)/ A monumental compendium of all things diabolical, was first published in 1818 to much success, (C)/ At its heart lies an unlikely but pertinent synthesis of the Enlightenment and the occult (D)/ It is the fabulously illustrated final edition of 1863 which (E)/ Although Jacques Collin de Plancy’s Dictionnaire infernal,

d) None of these

e) No correction required

7) Answer (B)

Solution:

On carefully reading the fragments, we see that Plancy’s infernal is the topic of the sentence. Sentence E introduces the subject. So, it should be the opening fragment. Sentence B should follow E as it further describes the book. Fragments D and A form a pair and complete the structure of the sentence – ‘ Although the first edition was good, it was ….’. Thus, EBDA forms a coherent sentence. C which speaks about the enlightenment and occult is out of context.

Question 8: (A) Not only the wonders of oil as might be expected, but also free-market capitalism (B)/ And made at the behest of the American Petroleum Institute, (C)/ Produced at the height of the Cold War, (D)/ lands in the United States and soon discovers the many and myriad delights of petroleum (E)/ This great little promotional film from John Sutherland Studios champions

e) No correction required

8) Answer (C)

Solution:

On carefully reading the fragments, we see that the topic of the sentence is a video produced in the cold war era. Fragment C introduces the subject. Hence, it should be the opening part. Fragment B should follow C as it adds an extra detail to the previously mentioned statement. Sentences E and A form a pair – ‘champions not only…’. Thus, CBEA forms a coherent sentence. Fragment D which talks about the delights of petroleum is out of context.

Question 9: (A) National School Choice Week provides an opportunity to bring conversations about education (B)/ At its core, school choice affirms the special bond between parents and children (C)/ Parents in communities across America (D)/ Out from the political sphere and to the kitchen tables and living rooms of (E)/ As a nonpartisan awareness effort,

b) EBAC

c) AEBC

d) None of these

e) No correction required

9) Answer (A)

Solution:

On carefully reading the fragments, we see that the sentence is about the National School Choice Week. Fragments E and A form a pair as they introduce the subject of the sentence. Since ‘nonpartisan’ is mentioned in E, D should follow A as it mentions that the discussions are not political. C should follow D as it concludes the sentence – ‘out from political sphere to living rooms of parents..’. EADC forms a coherent sentence. Fragment B is out of context and should be excluded.

On carefully reading the fragments, we see that the sentence is about the research by HP on the use of computers by the children. C introduces the subject.
