correct answer.
• Negative marking is applicable for multiple answers.
• Time manage: max 90sec each question in single answer type and max
2min for each question in multiple answers.
Tips for Re-order Paragraphs:

1. Look at Proper Nouns-Common nouns-Pronoun-Articles


Usage-Time Phrases(depends) order to form the sentences.

2. Consider the clue words

Ex:
a) The king…….
b) ……….. King Rama………

The order here it comes is, b-a. Because in the sentence ‘a’ it
says kings follows…. but in sentence ‘b’ it introduces about the
king name.
Frame the order of sentences using the Nouns, Pronouns,
Adjectives, Repeated words, Time phrases, etc…

• Concentrate on pronouns he,she,him,her,they,them,these,


those, etc.. these sentences will never come in first.
• Repeated words – the hint here is, most of the time word one
sentences if the same word in other sentences come in an
order.
• Adjectives – the hint here is, ex: better comes after good. so
first is good-better.
• Time manage – try to answer the question with in 4min.
