Ans 1
One can easily get the BC link since ‘they’ in C refers to the people covered under the National Rural Guarantee Scheme mentioned in B.A logically fits in as the concluding statement since it talks about the criticism and carries the thought further. Thus, we get the BCDA link.Hence ,(4).
Ans 2
DC is a clear link which exists only in option(2)and (4).A cannot be the first sentence of the paragraph. ‘That ‘in C refers to the company’s alliances. Hurry seems to be at trait associated with a company that is fast growing. A records the various products that the company markets and flows from B. So the sequence is DCBA. Hence(2)
Ans 3
C should be the opening sentence because C gives a general opinion and the spread of modernization. The other sentences follow from this hypothesis and try to validate the fact stated in C .A follows from C .The BD link is the most crucial one, with the word’ industries’ connecting the two. Thus CABD. Hence(4)
Ans 4
The paragraph talks about the importance of time in our lives.Hence, the logical flow of sentences would be ADCB i.e., firstly what is time, secondly how much time do we all have in our lives, then how do we spend most of our time and then how we miss out on the precious time by indulging in wasteful things. Hence(4)
Ans 5
A and C both seem plausible as the opening sentence. The most obvious link in the sentence is the DB link because of the quantifiers ‘partly’ and ‘mostly’.B must follow D and not the other way round because the partial reasoning should be followed by the complete reasoning. This link is present in option (3)- CADB only. Hence(3)
Ans 6
ERROR : “alleged” CORRECT: “allegedly” ( C)
Ans 7
ERROR: “repeating “ CORRECT : “repeated” (B)
Ans 8
ERROR : “ between” CORRECT: “along” (B)
Ans 9
