12) Answer (A)
The first option talks about “gift of learning”. All other options talk about a watch.
13) Answer (B)
On reading the sentences, it can be observed that the paragraph is a narration of a scene. ‘A’ mentions that he kept the fire blazing as a means of protection. ‘C’ mentions that his dongs stayed by him and protected him. ‘D’ and ‘E’ narrate the further events. ‘B’, however, mentions that morning found the man haggard and worn. ‘B’ should come after the passage. It does not fit in the flow of events.
ACDE forms a coherent passage. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
14) Answer (D)
On reading the sentences, the paragraph is about the game laws in Canada which help protect the diverse fauna. ‘A’ describes the flora of Canada. ‘B’ emphasizes the advanced game laws in Canada. ‘C’ provides an example of the law. Similarly ‘E’ provides an example of the advanced laws. ‘D’ mentions that firearms can be carried through the preserve. The whole paragraph speaks of laws which support the fauna. Hence, ‘D’ is out of context.
ABCE forms a coherent passage. Therefore, option D is the right answer.
15) Answer (C)
On reading the sentences, we can understand that the paragraph is about a physician pondering over the causes of illness. The first sentence introduces the subject. B continues the thinking, which mentions the reasons which patients have no control of. Option C is a concluding statement, which mentions a cause for nervous harm. Option D and E should come before C.
Hence, C is the odd one out.
ABDE forms a coherent passage.
16) Answer (C)
Sentence D should be the opening sentence since it introduces Buddha. Sentences E and B form a pair. The word ‘them’ in sentence B refers to caste bred hatred. A should follow D since it uses the pronoun ‘he’, which refers to Buddha. Therefore, the correct order is DAEB. C is the sentence that does not fit in well. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
17) Answer (D)
The statement B, C, D, and E are explaining the birth of the person and the conditions prevalent at that time but statement D is about the actions of the person. Hence, statement A is odd one out.
C should be the opening sentence since it sets the scene and takes us to the period when the person the paragraph is talking about is born. Sentences D and B form a pair. The second great painter’s name is Fra Angelico but his birth name is Guido. Sentence E cannot be placed at the end. Therefore, sentence E should be placed between sentences C and D. Therefore, the correct order of the sentences is CEDB and hence, option D is the right answer.
18) Answer (C)
The statement A, B, D and E are speaking about Shelly and his family background, but statement C does not speak about the family of Shelly. Hence, statement C is the odd one out.
Sentence E introduces Shelly and hence, should be the opening sentence. B logically follows E. E talks about the boyish phase and B states that Shelly is far from that phase. Sentences A and D form a mandatory pair. Therefore, the correct order of the sentences must be EBAD and hence, option C is the right answer.
19) Answer (E)
The passage here is about the methods of teaching that should be adopted by any good teacher. In the first four statements, all the technicalities have been explained, but statement E focusses majorly on the subject related explanation. Hence, statement E is the odd one out.
A states that a lesson should be so assigned to the student to highlight the inconsistencies. The other 3 sentences delve on how that lesson should be assigned. C states what is expected of a student and hence, should follow A. Sentences D and B talk about the role of a teacher. D states that the teacher should ask the student to come prepared and B states that a word in advance will help the student. Therefore, B should follow D. The correct order of the sentences is ACDB and hence, option E is the right answer.
20) Answer (E)
The statement E is explaining about the policy which could have achieved the success, whereas the other statements are explaining about the characteristics of the Seven Years’ War. Hence, statement E is odd one out.
B should be the opening sentence since it asserts that the peace of Paris did not play a considerable part in resolving the border conflicts. B should be followed by A since it describes one of the stakeholders in the US, the union Jack. C should follow A since it states that the Union Jack removed the French Menace in America, paving the way for new nations to be formed. E should be the last sentence since it talks about how the Peace of Paris sounded the death knell for the French in America. BACE is the correct order and hence, option E is the right answer.
