\nSolutions: (1 to 6)<\/b><\/p>\n

1) Answer (b)<\/p>\n

The passage is talking about two prominent writers of English literature, Sir Walton Scott and Lord Byron. Hence sentence B which introduces these writers is the best opening sentence. Statement D talks about the popularity of these two persons in their time and option C gives an example to showcase their immense popularity. Hence DC form a pair. Statement A continues the same point which is mentioned in C. Hence A should come after C. So the correct order of the 4 sentences should be BDCA. Hence option B is correct.<\/b><\/p>\n

2) Answer (c)<\/p>\n

Sentence D gives the premise of the paragraph i.e. world is made up of the sound of many voices. Thus, D is suitable as the opening sentence of the paragraph. The pronoun “This” present in sentence B refers to “innumerable voices” mentioned in D. Thus, B immediately follow sentence D. Sentence A is used to strengthen the author’s view stated in D and B and sentence C gives an example to prove the fact in A.
\nThus, the correct order of the sentences is DBAC.<\/p>\n

3)<\/b>\u00a0Answer (b)
\n<\/b>
\nSentence C and B form a pair since B starts with \u2018together with minnows\u2019 trying to convey that the nymphs together with minnows, crawfish, etc. form 90% of trout\u2019s diet. E should follow B since C and B together form the fact E is referring to. Now, A and D can\u2019t start the paragraph since CBE following A or D will provide an abrupt transition. D should follow A as A states that there are a great amount of underwater insect life present and D logically continues this idea by implying that because of A, you should hold the net close to the bottom. Thus, the correct sequence is CBEAD.<\/p>\n

4)<\/b>\u00a0Answer (c)
\n<\/b>
\nThe paragraph should start with B as it introduces the many churches the other sentences are talking about. Sentences C and A form a logical pair since A continues to illustrate the poor condition of churches mentioned in C. The possible combinations are BDCA and BCAD. But D before CA makes no sense as D says that the churches form the best artistic and historic collection in the world. So, the sentences following it stating the poor condition of the churches doesn\u2019t fit well.
\nThus, BCAD is the correct sequence.<\/p>\n

5)<\/b>\u00a0Answer (c)
\n<\/b>
\nSentence D talks about “recently discovered elements” and sentence B talks about people responsible for this discovery. Thus, sentence DB form a pair. Sentence C gives a basic introduction to the subject being mentioned, so C is present before the pair DB. Sentence A talks about past discoveries and thus cannot be placed after DB. Also, between A and C, C is more apt as the opening point as C is more general. Thus, the correct order of the sentence is CADB<\/p>\n

6)<\/b>\u00a0Answer (a)
\n<\/b>
\nSentence D introduces the main subject being discussed in the passage. Thus, D is suitable as the opening sentence of the passage. Sentence B is an elaboration of the point made in sentence D. Thus, B immediately follows D. The pronoun “Others” in sentence C indicates that sentence C occurs after sentence A. Thus, the correct order of the sentences is DBAC<\/p>\n
