Question
Which would be the first sentence after rearrangement?
Directions : Rearrange the following six sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions. A. It has its roots in an attack on India’s parliament in 2001, which was carried out by terrorist groups allegedly used as proxies by Pakistan’s powerful intelligence services (ISI). B. Cold Start is an attempt to draw lessons from this: having nimbler, integrated units stationed closer to the border would allow India to inflict significant harm before international powers demanded a ceasefire. C. Yet India has refused to own up to the existence of the doctrine since it was first publicly discussed in 2004. D. Cold Start is the name given to a limited-war strategy designed to seize Pakistani territory swiftly without, in theory, risking a nuclear conflict. E. Nor was its rumoured existence enough to stop Pakistani terrorists from launching devastating attacks in Mumbai in 2008, killing 164 people. F. India’s response to the onslaught was a flop: by the time its lumbering Strike Corps were mobilised and positioned on the frontier, Pakistan had already bulked up its defences, raising both the costs of incursion and the risk that it would escalate into a nuclear conflict.Solution
 The correct sequence is: D-A-F-B-C-E. The paragraph starts with statement D as it gives the basic definition of the topic in discussion. This is followed by statement A as it is in continuation to the previous statement and thus, adds more information about the origin of the term discussed here. Statement A is followed by statement F as the “onslaught” here is referring to the event mentioned in the previous statement. Statement F is followed by statement B as “this” here clearly refers to the flop response of India to the onslaught, as a failure at dealing with an attack must have taught a lesson to the nation. Statement B is followed by statement C as it explains how India refuses to own the existence of this term while ignoring its importance. This is followed by statement E which is in continuation of statement C as it also talks about India not accepting this term but since it starts with the word “nor”, it will come after statement C.
