Question
Which of the following is the last sentence of the
passage? Five statements are given below, which are jumbled in any random order. These statements will form a coherent and meaningful paragraph, when arranged in the correct sequence. Arrange the sentences in the right order and answer the questions that follow. (a) The shift and switch both worked wonders as he became only the third bowler in Test cricket’s 144-year-long history to take all 10 wickets in an innings. (b) In the new environs, he fell in love with the game and worked towards earning a name for himself. (c) Standing at 5 feet 6 inches, he realised he wasn’t quite going to make it as a pacer, which explained the switch to spin in his 20s, years after his parents emigrated to New Zealand. (d) A fast bowler growing up, the late bloomer’s talents became apparent only after he started bowling spin. (e) If shifting from India to New Zealand saw him fall in love with cricket, switching to spin from fast bowling paved the way for Ajaz Patel’s entry into the game’s top-flight.Solution
Explanation: The correct order of the sentences is e, a, d, c and b . Here, a cannot be the first sentence because in a, only ‘he’ is mentioned. In all other sentences, except in e , the name of the person whom we are talking about, Ajaz Patel, isn’t mentioned. So, e is the first sentence of the passage. It is followed by a, as a continues the talk on his shifting from India to New Zealand. The third sentence of the passage is d . c follows it as it talks about his switch from being a pacer to a spinner. Then the last sentence is b.
