Question
Which of the following is the first sentence of the
passage? Six 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 article titled ‘Impact of COVID-19 on Sentiments of Indian Manufacturers’ published in the RBI’s February bulletin says that, although the sector may soon attain its pre-COVID level, the process of attaining the long-term trend levels may take some time. (b) The RBI said that these views, expressed in the article were those of the authors and did not necessarily represent the views of the central bank. (c) The authors said that just when the manufacturers' outlook started looking up, the COVID-19-induced lockdown measures slowed down the revival process. (d) However, the authors pointed out that the accelerated rollout of vaccines, FY23 Budget proposals and other reforms are expected to provide a strong impetus for revival of the economy and will facilitate regaining of the growth potential over the medium-term. (e) They explained that the pandemic affected the producers' sentiment negatively by bringing down various parameters to historic lows. (f) The manufacturing sector will need continued policy support for smoother and faster recovery to attain the long-term trend path, according to a Reserve Bank article.Solution
The correct order of the sentences is f, a, c, e, d and b . Here, a cannot be the first sentence of the passage, because ‘the article’ is mentioned, which refers to a specific article, which has already been mentioned. Also, ‘the sector’ is mentioned, and we don’t know which sector is being referred to. f gives answers to these questions and it can be the first sentence of the passage. a is the second sentence. The other sentences, except b talks about the views by authors. And sentence b talks about ‘these views’. So, it is the last sentence. When we look at c, d and e , c comes first and is the third sentence of the passage. e further explains what is mentioned in c . So, e follows c . d is the fifth sentence, followed by b .
